observe the following safety tips for your
new stapler:
1.
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL
BEFORE OPERATING THE STA-
PLER.

whenever servicing
or installing staples. During mainte-
nance, a stapler connected to air may
fire accidentally, causing serious per-
sonal injury.
3.

face of the workpiece, puncturing
your hand or fingers.

a power source. Only use filtered,
lubricated, and regulated compressed
air.

OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO
CLEAN THE STAPLER.

ANY OTHER PART THAN THE
HANDLE,
and do not carry the sta-
pler by the air hose.

DO NOT KEEP THE TRIGGER
PULLED ON THE SAFETY YOKE
MECHANISM WHEN CARRYING

another person! Always pay attention
to the direction this stapler is pointed.
Use this tool with respect and caution

bystander injury. Ignoring this warn-
ing may result in serious personal
