Loading The Air Stapler; Operating The Air Stapler - Ferm ATM1042 Traducción Del Manual Original

in supplying clean air pressure to the tool. Consult
the manufacturer's instructions for the correct
maintenance of the oil and water separator. A
contaminated and blocked filter will cause a
reduction in the pressure, which will negatively
influence the performance of the air stapler.

4. LOADING THE AIR STAPLER

When in use, always wear eye protection
that meets the ANSI specifications, and
offers protection both in front and at the
sides from flying objects when loading,
operating and maintaining the air stapler.
Flying fasteners and splinters can cause
severe injury.
The employer or user must insist that proper eye
protection is worn. Eye protection equipment
should meet the specification of the American
National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1-1979 and must offer protection from both the front and
the sides.
Remark: Glasses without side shield and face
protector do not offer sufficient protection.

red lever.
This cover can be removed when a staple is
blocked into the shaft.
Warning! To avoid injury:
Disconnect the air hose.
First release the fastener latch and
withdraw this along the fastener guide
unit. Removing the cover, while the
system is under pressure, can cause
serious injury: the staples can jump out
of the tacker unit!
Following steps:
• Remove the staples from the guide unit.
• Pull the red lever of the cover (in front of tacker)
downwards and remove the cover.
• The blocked stapler can be removed.
