Operating

If you have not read the safety instructions in this manual, do not operate the stapler.

Before you operate your stapler, place two to three drops of the included pneumatic tool oil into the quick connect fitting where the stapler connects to the air supply, unless using a lubricator unit.

To operate your stapler, do these steps:

1.Connect the air supply to the quick connect fitting.

2.To test for proper staple penetration, hold the stapler perpendicular to the surface of a piece of clean scrap wood that is thick enough for the length of staples you have loaded.

3.Depress the safety nose mechanism against your workpiece.

4.Before pulling the trigger, make sure your free hand and other body parts are positioned out of the way of a potential path of a staple in case of deflection.
