Identification and Description of the Stapler...
If your air system does not use PCL fittings, and you have reason to change the connecting
method of the tool to your air supply, ensure that the new connector will not allow pressure
to be retained in the tool.
Ensure the supply does not exceed the maximum permissible pressure.
There is no safety enable with this tool, there is only a manual safety connected to the
trigger. Once the safety lock has been removed (a conscious action), the stapler will fire
when the trigger is pressed.
Do not
use staples outside the recommended size range.
Clearing a Jam
If a fastener becomes jammed; before dissembling the gun;
DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY
.
Using the Allen Key provided undo the two caphead bolts that secure the front plate,
Remove the plates, clear the jam and replace the plates in the reverse order of removal.

Main body
The main body is a casting that is extruded into the handle, the cylinder
housing, and the mounting points for the magazine assembly.
Connection port
This is a

" BSP threaded hole which will allow you to mount the
connector of choice, to allow connection to the air supply.
Striker guide
Basically a shaped metal plate, that is bolted to the lower mounting of
body
the cylinder housing. It has a machined channel that guides the
striker/staple to the mouth when the stapler is fired.
Staple height
A flat metal plate secured to the front of the striker guide body by means
setting plate
of two panhead machine screws. The securing holes are elongated to
allow the plate to be moved up or down, so as to set the height of the
mouth above the work surface and thereby the driven height of the
staple. This is used when stapling something 'delicate' that could be
severed by just driving the staple home.
Magazine slide
A sprung loaded latch that locks the magazine slide closed. It is
latch
depressed to unlock the magazine slide to allow it to be withdrawn, to
facilitate the loading and unloading of the staples.
Magazine
The magazine assembly is also secured to the lower mounting of the
assembly
cylinder housing and supported at the rear underside of the handle. The
magazine basically consists of a 'U' shaped tray into which the staples
are laid, and the magazine slide plate, with a smaller inverted 'U' guide
fitted to it, which covers the fasteners, keeping them located in the tray.
Part of the slide plate mechanism is a sprung shoe that pushes against
the staples in the magazine tray and forces them into the receiver in the
guide body. The front end of the slide plate is the 'slipper' plate that
forms the rear part of the 'guide shute' down which the staples are fired.
The physical dimensions of the magazine assembly will limit the
maximum size of staples that can be inserted in the tool. There is no
such limitation on the minimum size, observe the figures in the
specification.
Trigger safety
This is a manual mechanical safety device above the trigger proper. It
Lock
locks the trigger off, so that a conscious action is required to ‘unlatch’
the trigger to allow the tool to be used. This is because there is no
‘contact safety enable’ mechanism built into these tools.
Trigger
Provided it has been “unlatched”, pressing the trigger will allow the gun
to fire the staple into the material.
Viewing
There are three peepholes in the magazine assembly to check whether
peepholes
there are staples loaded.
