Model W1779 18 Gauge Stapler Kit

Additional Safety Instructions for Staplers

1.HAND INJURIES: 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.

2.COMBUSTIBLE GASES: Never connect the stapler to pressurized oxygen or other combustible gases as a power source. Only use filtered, lubricated, and regulated compressed air.

3.SAFE HANDLING: Never point the stapler at others! Do not keep the trigger pulled when loading fasteners, carrying, or holding tool. Carry the stapler only by the handle, never by any other part. Do not carry the stapler by the air hose. Disconnect the stapler from the air hose when going up and down ladders.

4.CLEANING: Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to clean the stapler; vapors in the stapler will ignite by a spark and cause it to explode.

5.HOSE USAGE: Make sure your air hose is designed for the tool in use, is in good condition, and is long enough to reach your work without stretching. However, an overly long air hose in the work area may be a tripping hazard.

6.OPERATING QUESTIONS: If you are not sure about the intended operation, stop using the stapler. Seek formal training.

7.MAINTENANCE: Always disconnect air from the stapler when servicing or installing staples. During maintenance, a stapler connected to air may fire accidentally, causing serious personal injury.

8.COMPRESSED AIR RATING: Do not connect the stapler to compressed air that exceeds 120 PSI.

9.CHECK VALVE: Do not use a check valve or any other fitting that allows air to remain in the tool.

10.MODIFICATION: Do not modify this tool or bypass the safety nose mechanism.

Never point this stapler at yourself or another person! Always pay attention to the direction this stapler is pointed. Use this tool with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator or bystander injury. Ignoring this warning may result in serious personal injury.

Stapler accidents routinely happen while moving the gun to another location, such as up ladders, to another room, or even another job site. Always disconnect the gun immediately after use and never transport the gun while connected to the air—even if the air compressor is disconnected from its power source!
