QSetting the impact force

A tip!

jSelect the lowest impact force required for stapling.

jYou can set the impact force at any value between “1” (lowest impact force) and “7” (highest im- pact force) using the impact force controller 6 .

QStapling

jSwitch on the tool.

jPress the nose 4 on the spot where you wish to staple.

jPress the trigger 2 .

jAdjust the impact force to suit the materials, staples or nails.

Redriving:

Note: Use this function if you discover that some already-driven staples or nails have not ended up

flush in the material. Redriving must be carried out directly at each staple or nail. If you do not lift the nose 4 when doing this then no further staple or nail will be loaded into the driving position.

jDrive the required staple or nail and press the nose piece 4 once more on to the next redriv- ing position.

jPress the trigger 2 as often as necessary until the staple or nail is flush with the substrate.

Examples of use:

jFastening a covering to the seat of a chair (see Fig. B).

jFixing a skirting at the joint between the wall and floor covering (see Fig. C).

jStretching and stapling a canvas to a frame (see Fig. D).
