Additional Safety for Staplers
Hand injuries. Do not place your hands near the staple point of entry. A staple can deflect and tear through the surface of the workpiece, puncturing your hand or fingers.
safe handling. Never point the sta- pler at others! Do not keep the trigger pulled when loading fasteners, carrying, or holding tool. Carry the stapler only by the handle, never by any other part. Do not carry the stapler by the air hose. Disconnect the stapler from the air hose when going up and down ladders.
Modifications. Do Not modify this tool or bypass the safety nose mecha- nism.
combustible gases. Never connect the stapler to pressurized oxygen or other combustible gases as a power source. Only use filtered, lubricated, and regu- lated compressed air.
compressed air rating. Do not connect the stapler to compressed air that exceeds 120 PSi.
Hose USAGE. Make sure the air hose is designed for the tool in use, is in good condition, and is long enough to reach the work without stretching. However, an overly long air hose in the work area may be a tripping hazard.
Maintenance. Always disconnect air from the stapler when servicing or install- ing staples. During maintenance, a stapler connected to air may fire accidentally, causing serious personal injury.
check valve. Do not use a check valve or any other fitting that allows air to remain in the tool.
cleaning. Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to clean the stapler; vapors in the stapler will ignite by a spark and cause it to explode.
Operating QUestions. If you are not sure about the intended operation, stop using the stapler. Seek formal training or research books or magazines that spe- cialize in pneumatic tools.
