Refer to the Maintenance section for detailed information
on the proper maintenance of the tool.
•
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material.
The work-
piece may split causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a
bystander. Be aware that the staple may follow the grain of the
wood, causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the
work material. Drive the chisel point of the staple parallel to the
grain to reduce risk of injury.
•
Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work
area.
Hold work-piece with clamps when necessary to keep
hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the work-piece is
properly secured before pressing the stapler or staple against the
material. The contact trip may cause the work material to shift
unexpectedly.
•
Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool when
working in restricted areas.
Sudden recoil can result in impact
to the body, especially when stapling into hard or dense material.
•
Be aware of material thickness when using the stapler.
A
protruding staple may cause injury.
•
Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly
against the work-piece.
•
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT: To reduce risk of serious injury from
accidental actuation when attempting to adjust depth,
ALWAYS:
1. Ensure trigger is not depressed
2. Ensure contact trip is not depressed
3. Avoid contact with trigger and contact trip 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 or property
damage.
•
Do not drive staples into hard objects, including, but not
limited to: knots in any wood, very hard woods (such as
oak, hickory, walnut, etc.), engineered laminate beams,
plastic or any metal object.
•
Your tool is equipped with safety and warning labels.
DO
NOT REMOVE these labels. Keep labels on the tool at all times and be
familiar with and understand the label content.
