9.Before using the power tool, check the push lever. Before using the power tool make sure to check that the push lever and valve operate properly. Without staples loaded into the power tool, connect the hose and check the following. If the sound of operation occurs this indicates a fault, so in such a case do not use the power tool until it has been inspected and repaired.

￿If merely pulling the trigger causes operating sound of drive bit movement occur, the power tool is faulty.

￿If merely pushing the push lever against the material to be stapled causes the sound of drive bit movement to occur, the power tool is faulty. Furthermore, with regard to the push lever, please note that it must never be modified or removed.

10.Use specified staples only.

Never use staples other than those specified and described in these instructions.

11.Be careful when connecting the hose.

When connecting the hose and loading staples in order not to fire the tool by mistake, make sure of the following.

￿Do not touch the trigger.

￿Do not allow the firing head to contact with any surface.

￿Keep the firing head down.

Strictly observe the above instructions, and always make sure that no part of the body, hands or legs is ever in front of the staple outlet.

12.Do not carelessly place your finger on the trigger. Do not place your finger on the trigger except when actually stapling. If you carry this tool or hand it to someone while having your finger on the trigger, you may inadvertently discharge a staple and thus cause an accident.

13.Completely Close the blade guide and do not open it during operation.

If stapling is attempted when the blade guide is open, staples will not be driven into the timber, and there is a risk of dangerous discharge.

14.Press the staple outlet firmly against the material to be stapled.

When driving in staples, press the staple outlet firmly against the material to be stapled. If the outlet is not applied properly, the staples may rebound.

15.Keep hands and feet away from the firing head when using.

It is very dangerous for a staple to hit the hands or feet by mistake.

16.Beware of the tool’s kickback.

Do not approach the top of the tool with your head etc. during operation. This is dangerous because the tool may recoil violently if the staple currently being driven in comes into contact with a previous staple or a knot in the wood.

17.Take care when stapling thin boards or the corners of wood.

When stapling thin boards, the staples may pass right through, as may also be the case when stapling the corners of wood due to deviation of the staples. In such cases, always make sure that there is no one (and nobody’s hands or feet; etc.) behind the thin board or next to the wood you are going to staple.

18.Simultaneous staping on both sides of the same wall is dangerous.

Under no circumstances should stapling be performed on both sides of a wall at the same time. This would be very dangerous since the staples might pass through the wall and thus cause injuries.

19.Do not use the power tool on scaffoldings, ladders. The power tool shall not be used for specific application for example:

–when changing one driving location to another involves the use of scafforldings, stairs, ladders or ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths,

–closing boxes or crates,

–fitting transportation safety systems e.g. on vehicles and wagons

20.Do not disconnect the hose with your finger on the trigger.

If you disconnect the hose with your finger on the trigger, the next time the hose is connected, there is a danger that the power tool will fire a staple spontaneously, or operate incorrectly.

21.Disconnect the hose and take out any staples left in the magazine after use.

Disconnect tool from air before doing tool maintenance, cleaning a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or after use. It is very dangerous for a staple to be fired by mistake.

22.When removing a staple which has become stuck, make sure to first of all disconnect the hose and release compressed air.

When removing a staple which has become stuck in the staple outlet, first of all make sure to disconnect the hose and release compressed air inside the power tool.

Accidental firing of the staple could be very dangerous.

23.To avoid hazards caused by falling staples, never open the magazine with the device facing downward while loading staples.

24.A female plug (air socket) should not be used in the body.

If a female plug is installed in the body, the compressed air sometimes can not be drawn when the hose is disconnected so avoid this.

The tool and air supply hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is removed from the tool when the coupling joint is disconnected.
