• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. When
tool is not in use, it should be locked in a safe place, out of the
reach of children.
• Remove finger from trigger when
not driving fasteners. Never carry
tool with finger on trigger. Accidental
discharge could result. Using the trigger
lock-off will prevent accidental discharge.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper
footing and balance at all times. Loss of
balance may cause cause personal injury.
(Fig. K)
• Make sure hose is free of obstructions
or snags. Entangled or snarled hoses
can cause loss of balance or footing.
• Use the tool only for its intended use.
Do not discharge fasteners into open
air, concrete, stone, extremely hard
woods, knots or any material too
hard for the fastener to penetrate.
Do not use the body of the tool or
top cap as a hammer. Discharged
fasteners may follow unexpected path
and cause injury. (Fig. L)
• Always keep fingers clear of contact
trip to prevent injury from inadvertent
release of fasteners. (Fig. M)
• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs
sections for detailed information on
the proper maintenance of the tool
• Always operate the tool in a clean,
lighted area. Be sure the work surface
is clear of any debris and be careful not
to lose footing when working in elevated
environments such as rooftops.
FIG. K
• Do not drive fasteners near edge
of material. The workpiece may split
causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring
you or a co-worker. Be aware that the
fastener may follow the grain of the
wood (shiner), causing it to protrude
unexpectedly from the side of the work
material. Drive the fastener perpendicular
FIG. L
to the grain to reduce risk of injury. (Fig. N)
• Do not drive fasteners onto the heads
of other fasteners or with the tool at
too steep an angle. Personal injury
from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or
ricocheted fasteners may result. (Fig. O)
• Be aware of material thickness when
using the stapler. A protruding fastener
may cause injury.
FIG. M
• Be aware that when the tool is being
utilized at pressures on the high end
of its operating range, fasteners can
be driven completely through thin or
very soft work material. Make sure the
pressure in the compressor is set so that
fasteners are set into the material and not
pushed completely through. (Fig. P)
