Basic Stapler Safety
In addition to the rules stated in the previ- ous section, and those in the warning boxes throughout this manual, please observe the following safety tips for your new stapler:
1.READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE STA- PLER.

7.DO NOT KEEP THE TRIGGER PULLED WHEN CARRYING OR HOLDING THE TOOL.
8.DO NOT USE A CHECK VALVE OR ANY OTHER FITTING that allows air to remain in the tool.
