(1) Press the stop lever and slide the magazine backward.
(2) Place the staples in the magazine with the prongs
facing upward.
(3) Slide the magazine back into position until the stop
lever locks into place.
NOTE
䡬
Close the magazine gently.
Using excessive force to close the magazine may
result in the joined staple strips being deformed,
preventing the magazine from being closed.
䡬
Check the magazine blade guide if it won’t close
smoothly.
HOW TO USE THE STAPLER
There are two ways to discharge staples: Single Shot, in
which the push lever is placed against the area where
the staple is to be fired first and the trigger then pulled,
and Continual Shot, in which the trigger is pulled first
and the push lever then placed against the relevant area.
The single-shot mode places the emphasis on finishing
and is used to ensure that the staple is driven into the
required place, while the continual-shot mode is used to
drive in staples repeatedly with the trigger constantly
being pulled.
The power tool is equipped with a mechanism to alternate
between single-shot and continual-shot operations to
ensure that work is carried out in the most efficient way.
Safety Devices
The power tool has been designed so that staples
cannot be fired unless both the push lever and the
trigger are simultaneously operated. In other words,
staples will not be discharged when only the trigger
is pulled, or when only the push lever (discharge
outlet) is placed against the required area. This is to
prevent the staples from being discharged when the
trigger is accidentally pulled or when the push lever
(discharge outlet) is accidently placed against
something.
䢇
Single-shot Stapling (Fig. 8)
(1) Make sure the discharge outlet is firmly placed against
the place where the staple is to be discharged.
(2) Pull the trigger to fire the staple.
(3) Withdraw the power tool and release the trigger.
NOTE
䡬
Use the single-shot mode to accurately staple the
required location.
䡬
There are cases in which subsequent stapling will
not be possible if the trigger is released halfway
through being pulled.
To correct this, remove the battery and then replace it.
䢇
Continual-shot Stapling (Fig. 9)
First pull the trigger then place the push lever
(discharge outlet) against the required area to
repeatedly fire staples.
(1) First pull the trigger.
(2) Place the push lever (discharge outlet) against the
required area to fire the staples.
(3) Withdraw the stapler with the trigger pressed, and
then repeat procedure from step (2) to repeatedly fire
staples.
Anti Blank Firing Mechanism
The stapler is equipped with an anti blank firing
mechanism to prevent blank firing when the staples
run out.
The stapler will cease to operate when eight or fewer
staples remain.
Approximately eight staples will remain after firing a
strip of staples, but replenishing the magazine with
the same staples will enable stapling to be continued.
1. Stapling procedures
WARNING
䡬
Never point the discharge outlet at people.
䡬
Make sure that work is carried out with the discharge
outlet well away from faces, hands, feet and other
parts of the body.
䡬
Do not fire staples directly onto existing staples.
䡬
Remove the battery when the stapler is not being
used and during work breaks.
䡬
When work has been completed, remove the battery,
and then remove the remaining staples.
䡬
When pulling the trigger, make sure that other fingers
are not touching the push lever.
Failure to observe this may result in injury.
NOTE
䡬
There are cases in which operations will become
sluggish if used at low ambient temperatures.
䡬
There are cases in which the staples will bend or
cracks will appear in the stapled material depending
on the hardness, thickness and combinations of the
material. Test the stapling operability before
commencing full use.
(1) Locking the trigger and removing the battery
Remove the battery from the stapler to prevent
unexpected operations. (
Fig. 2
)
(2) Loading staples
Load staples of a size appropriate for the job in hand
into the magazine. (
Fig. 7
)
(3) Attaching the battery
Place the battery onto the stapler and press on it until
it clicks into place.
(4) Releasing the lever lock
Slide the lock lever until the lock has been released.
(
Fig. 5
)
(5) Firing staples
Adjust the depth of the staples with the adjuster. (
Fig.
10
)
(6) Finishing work
When work has been finished, lock the trigger and
remove the battery, and then remove all of the staples
from the magazine.
2. How to adjust the stapling depth (Fig. 10)
WARNING
When adjusting staple depth, aim the discharge outlet
downwards and check that it is not pointing at faces,
hands, feet or other parts of the body first of all, and
then lock the trigger.
Fire a test staple, and if it is too deep adjust the depth
by rotating the adjuster to drive it shallower.
If the staple is not driven in deep enough, rotate the
adjuster to drive it deeper.
The adjuster rotation modifies the depth by up to 2
mm.
3. Using the hook
The hook is used to hang up the power tool to your
waist belt while working.
CAUTION:
䡬
When using the hook, hang up the power tool firmly
not to drop accidentally.
If the power tool is dropped, it may lead to an accident.
