Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice less
tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room
temperature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot
battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
(Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of
the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the
tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If you can see the red part on
the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it
may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Safety system (Fig. 2)
Make sure all safety systems are in working order before
operation. The tool must not operate if only the switch
trigger is pulled or if only the safety lever is pressed
against the wood. It must work only when both actions are
performed. Test for possible faulty operation with a tool
unloaded and pointed well away from yourself or any
bystanders.
NOTE:
• There is a possibility that the tool may operate for an
instant when only the trigger is pulled. This does not
indicate a problem. If this occurs, point the tool well
away from yourself or any bystanders.
Release and pull the trigger again to make sure the
safety systems are in working order.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always make sure that your fingers are not placed on
the trigger and the battery cartridge is removed before
carrying out any work on the stapler.
Staples
• Handle the staples and their box carefully. If the staples
have been handled roughly, they may be bent out of
shape, causing poor staple feed or jamming.
• Avoid storing the staples in a very humid or hot place or
place exposed to direct sunlight.
CAUTION:
• Do not use staples other than designated in this
manual or staples that appear to be damaged, bent,
rusty or corroded.

other at the same time inside the magazine , causing
poor staple feed or jamming.

and the sub-magazine is opened, the staples can fall
out and present a danger to anyone or anything below.
Keep this in mind especially when working in high
locations.
