Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

lead from lead-based paints

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products

arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS

Do not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as tool may explode, possibly causing injury.

Do not use supply sources which can potentially exceed 200 PSI as tool may burst, possibly causing injury.

The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting is used, the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after the air line is disconnected possibly causing injury.

Do not pull trigger while connected to the air supply as the tool may cycle, possibly causing injury.

Always disconnect air supply: 1.) Before making adjustments; 2.) When servicing the tool; 3.) When clearing a jam; 4.) When tool is not in use; 5.) When moving to a different work area, as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury; 6.) Before placing tool on any surface, hanging tool on belt, or otherwise temporarily suspending use of the tool.

OPERATION

Always handle the tool with care: 1.) Never engage in horseplay; 2.) Never pull or grasp the secondary trigger unless nose is directed toward the work; 3.) Keep others a safe distance from the tool while tool is in operation as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.

The operator must not hold the secondary trigger pulled except during fastening operation as serious injury could result if the trigger accidentally contacts someone or something, causing the tool to cycle.

Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool.

Check operation of the secondary trigger mechanism frequently. Do not use the tool if the secondary trigger is not working correctly as accidental actuation of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the proper operation of the secondary trigger mechanism.

Never inadvertently pull or grasp the secondary trigger when moving about, changing work location, when holstering or hanging tool, or when preparing work surface for fastening operation.

Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep angle as this may cause deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.

Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work piece as the wood may split, allowing the fastener to be deflected possibly causing injury.

This stapler produces SPARKS during operation. NEVER use the stapler near flammable substances, gases or vapors including lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline, adhesives, mastics, glues or any other material that is -- or the vapors, fumes or byproducts of which are -- flammable, combustible or explosive. Using the stapler in any such environment could cause an EXPLOSION resulting in personal injury or death to user and bystanders. damage.

MAINTAINING THE TOOL

When working on air tools note the warnings in this manual and use extra care when evaluating problem tools.

TOOL AIR FITTING:

This tool uses a free-flow connector plug, 1/4” N.P.T. The minimum inside diameter should be .200” (5mm). The fitting must be capable of discharging tool air pressure when disconnected from the air supply.

OPERATING PRESSURE:

80 to 100 PSI (5.5 to 6.9 bars). Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener performance. DO NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
