Hook
CAUTION:
Do not hang the hook from the
waist belt.
Dropping the stapler, which is caused by
the hook accidentally coming out of place, may cause
unintentional firing and result in personal injuries.
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool.
To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool
housing on either side and then secure it with a screw.
To remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.
