COLD WEATHER CARE

Do not store the Stapler in a cold weather environment.

Keep the Stapler in a warm area until beginning the work.

If the Stapler is already cold, bring it in a warm area

and allow the Stapler to warm up before use.

1 Reduce the air pressure to 40 psi (2.8 bar 2.8 kgf/ cm2).

2Remove all staples from the Stapler.

3Connect the air hose and free-fire (blank-fire) the Stapler.

The lowered air pressure will be enough to free- fire the Stapler.

Slow speed operation tends to warm up the moving part.

CAUTION

Do not free-fire the Stapler at high pressure.
