Woodstock W1779 owner manual Single/Bump Fire Operation

Model W1779 18 Gauge Stapler Kit

DO NOT place your hands near the staple point of entry. A staple can deflect and tear through the surface of the workpiece, puncturing your hand or fingers.

Deflection is caused when grain irregularities, knots or foreign objects inside the wood cause the staple

to change its path, resulting in the staple puncturing the surface of the workpiece, as shown in Figure 5.

Besides damaging your workpiece, deflection can cause injury if your free hand is securing the workpiece in the location that the staple deflects.

Single/Bump Fire

Operation

The stapler is designed to fire one staple at a time, or one after another, using the trigger switch—this is known as "bump fire."

To operate your stapler in single fire mode, do these steps:

1.Push the trigger switch OUT, as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 5. Example of staple deflection.

5.Pull the trigger.

—If the staple drove into the wood far enough, continue with your intended operations.

—If the staple either went too far or not far enough, then adjust the air pressure. More air pressure will increase staple depth, less air pressure will decrease staple depth.

mode.

2.Depress the safety mechanism against the workpiece.

3.Pull the trigger, then remove your finger from the trigger after the staple is driven.
