Choice of triggering method is important. Please read and understand “METHODS OF OPERATION” found below.

Never place your hands or feet closer than 8 inches (200 mm) from firing head when using.

Do not drive staples on top of other staples or with Stapler at too steep of an angle; staples can ricochet and hurt someone.

In order to avoid double fire or unwanted ejection of a staple due to bouncing of the Stapler.

1)do not push Stapler on workpiece with strong force;

2)take Stapler away from workpiece using recoil;

3)release trigger quickly when performing trigger fire.

Do not drive staples into thin boards or near corners and edges of workpiece. Staples can be driven through or away from workpiece and hit someone.

Never drive staples from both sides of a wall at the same time. Staples can be driven into and through the wall and hit a person on the opposite side.

Never use Stapler which is defective or operating abnormally.

Do not use Stapler as hammer.

Disconnect air hose from Stapler when:

1)it is not in use;

2)leaving work area;

3)moving it to another location; and

4)handing it to another person.
