THE OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM (SINGLE SHOT PARTS) is for use where precision fastener placement is desired and must be operated in accordance with the following “Method of Operation”.

You must first depress the push lever (upward position) where you want to drive a staple and then pull the trigger. After the each staple is driven, completely release the trigger and lift the tool off the work surface. An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM may reduce the possibility of bodily injury to you or others in the work area. This is because it is less likely to drive an unwanted staple if you keep the trigger pulled and accidentally bump the push lever against yourself or others. An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM may also reduce the speed of operation compared to the standard contact trip mechanism.

NOTE:

Both STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM and OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM are safe if used as described above and accroding to all warnings and instructions.

Always handle staples and package carefully. If staples are dropped, collating bond may be broken.

After stapling:

1)disconnect air hose from the Stapler;

2)remove all staples from the Stapler;

3)supply 5 – 10 drops of Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant into the air plug on the Stapler; and

4)open the petcock on the air compressor tank to drain any moisture.

ADJUSTING THE STAPLING DEPTH

To assure that each staple penetrates to the same depth, be sure that:

1)the air pressure to the Stapler remains constant (regulator is installed and working properly), and

2)the Stapler is always held firmly against the workpiece.

If staples are driven too deep or shallow into the workpiece, adjust the stapling in the following order.

1DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM STAPLER.
