To resume operation, reload the tool with staples.
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size of the staple and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test staple into the same type of workpiece material used for the actual job.
Drive a test staple with the air pressure set at
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed, use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 8.
The driving depth of the staple may be adjusted. It is advis- able to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine the required depth for the application.
To determine depth of drive, first adjust the air pressure and drive a test staple. To achieve the desired depth, use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
nDisconnect the tool from the air supply.
nTurn the depth selector left or right to change the driving depth.
nReconnect the tool to the air supply.
nDrive a test staple after each adjustment until the desired depth is set.
REMOVING STAPLES FROM THE TOOL
See Figure 9.
nDisconnect the tool from the air supply.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before removing staples. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
nWhile holding the tool upside down, depress the latch located at the rear of the magazine and slide the magazine open.
