If the head of the staple remains above the workpiece
surface, drive the staple while holding the stapler head
firmly against the workpiece.
NOTE: If the head of the staple still remains above
the workpiece even you hold the stapler head,
the material may not be suitable for the stapler.
Continuing to use the stapler on such material may
result in a damage to the driver of the stapler and/or
stapler jamming.
Anti dry fire mechanism
WARNING:
When loading staples, always
make sure that the battery cartridge is removed
from the stapler. Unintentional firing may cause
personal injuries and property damage.
This tool is equipped with an anti dry fire mechanism.
When the number of remaining staples in the magazine
becomes 5 - 8 pieces, the switch trigger can no longer
be pulled. At this time, insert a new strip of staples in the
magazine. The switch trigger can be pulled again.
