• 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.
• Always keep fingers clear of contact trip to prevent
injury from inadvertent release of the pusher.
• 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.
• 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 staple may follow the
grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to protrude unexpectedly
from the side of the work material. Drive the chisel point of the
staple perpendicular to the grain to reduce risk of injury.
• Do not drive staples onto the heads of other fasteners
or with the tool at too steep an angle. Personal injury
from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted staples
may result.
• Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work
area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to keep
hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece
is properly secured before pressing the stapler against the
material. The contact trip may cause the work material to
shift unexpectedly.
• Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust,
gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could
ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a staple into another staple
may also cause a spark.
• Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool
cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can
result in impact to the body, especially when stapling into
hard or dense material.
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing
tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is
driven. In Bump mode if contact trip is allowed to recontact
work surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener
will be driven.
• Choice of triggering method is important. Check the
manual for triggering options.
Sequential/Bump Selector Switch
Sequential Action
• When using the tool in sequential mode, do not
actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against
the workpiece.
Bump Action
• When using the tool in bump action, be careful of
unin tentional double fires resulting from tool recoil.
Unwanted fasteners may be driven if the contact trip is
allowed to accidentally re‑contact the work surface.
• To Avoid Double Fires:
ʵ Do not engage the tool against the work surface with a
strong force.
ʵ Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.
ʵ Use tool in sequential mode.
• When "bump" actuating the finish stapler, always
keep tool in control. Inaccurate placement of tool can result
in misdirected discharge of a fastener.
• Do not drive staples onto the heads of other fasteners.
Strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted staples
may result.
• Be aware of material thickness when using stapler. A
protruding staple may cause injury.
• Depth adjustment: To reduce risk of serious injury
from accidental actuation when attempting to adjust
depth, ALWAYS:
ʵ Remove battery pack.
ʵ Engage trigger lock.
ʵ Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments.
• Do not drive staples blindly into walls, floors or
other work areas. Fasteners driven into live electrical wires,
plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in injury.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Additional Safety Information

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it.
Damage or personal injury could result.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• lead from lead‑based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically‑treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust
to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse
dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during
use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from
this product may contribute to hearing loss.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side
on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping
or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs
