Maintenance

To prevent serious injury

from accidental operation,

BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS ARE DONE (including clearing jams):

•Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles with side shields. Other people in the work area must also wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles with side shields.

•Release the trigger.

•Detach the air supply.

•Attempt to fire the Tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it is disconnected and is incapable of firing any fasteners.

•Empty the magazine and leave it open during service.

Note: If the Stapler leaks air, continually skips staples, does not drive the staple properly, or the Trigger (39) or Safety

(52) do not move freely have it serviced by a qualified service technician.

1.After each use, check the tightness on all visible screws.

2.Wipe the Stapler clean daily with a damp cloth and non-flammable cleaning solution. Never soak the Stapler.

3.Make sure that no dirt or debris blocks the fastener discharge area.

4.Any maintenance, service, or repairs, apart from those procedures explained in this manual, are to

be attempted only by a qualified technician.
