. Never attempt to completely remove pusher assembly as this may
damage the tool and void the warranty. Close pusher assembly until it snaps
into place.
FIRING YOUR TOOL
1.
To fire your tool, place down on your workpiece depressing the contact safety
on the front of the tool. Once the contact safety is depressed, push the trigger
to fire your staple. You must pick up the front of the tool and reactivate the
contact safety for each shot. The tool will operate in low temperatures down
to 32°F (0°C) and in higher temperatures up to 104°F (40°C).
HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER STAPLE LEG SIZE
In choosing the proper staple leg length for a job, there are two basic things
to consider:
1.
Thickness of material to be stapled.
2.
Hardness of the wood.
As a general rule, in hardwood, approximately 3/16” to 1/4”penetration
into the wood is sufficient...and for softwood, up to approximately 3/8”should
be sufficient. The staple should be flush with the underlying surface, as shown
in Figure 4b. However, if the staple used is not flush with the underlying surface,
as shown in Figure 4a – this means that too long a leg length has been used.
In that case, we recommend the next shorter leg length for desired results.
