Always use hearing protection to protect your ears against
hearing loss due to exhaust noise. Always wear proper safe-
ty glasses to prevent injuries to the eyes from fragments of
the work piece, defective staples or other debris caused by using the air sta-
pler. All safety glasses must have side shields and should conform to the
requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) z87.1. Failure
to comply with this warning could lead to serious or permanent damage to the
ears as well as serious damage or permanent blindness in the eyes.
Never carry the air stapler by the air hose. A sudden disconnection of the air
hose could cause the air stapler to remain charged and an accidental firing
could occur. Failure to comply with this warning could lead to serious injury to
the operator or bystanders.
Always disconnect the power source and ensure the tool is not charged
before loading fasteners. Failure to comply with this warning could cause
severe injury or death to the operator, bystanders and severe damage to the air
stapler.
Never use a non-relieving air coupler with the air stapler. Always use cou-
plers that release any built-up charge in the air stapler’s firing mechanism. A
non-relieving air coupler can allow the air stapler to discharge a fastener while
the tool is disconnected from the power source. Failure to comply with this
warning can result in serious or permanent injury or even death to the operator
or to bystanders.
Do not drive staples on top of other staples. Do not operate the air stapler at
too steep of an angle. Staples can ricochet. Failure to comply with this warning
can result in serious injury or even death to the operator or bystanders.
Do not modify the air stapler in any way. Unauthorized alterations can jeop-
ardize safety in the tool’s operation. Failure to follow this precaution can result
in serious injury or even death to the operator or bystanders.
On rooftops and other high locations, always move forward as you use the
air stapler. You can easily loose your footing if moving backwards. When sta-
pling against a perpendicular surface, staple from the top down. This causes
less fatigue and reduces the chances of accidents.
Ensure the work area is sufficiently illuminated to operate power tools. The
work area should be clear and free of litter.
Do not connect air stapler to an air source capable of generating
more than 200 psi (14.06 kg/cm
2
G). Over-pressurizing the air sta-
pler will result in bursting, abnormal operation or breakage of the
tool. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at levels speci-
fied on the tool. Failure to comply can cause severe injury or death to the oper-
ator or bystanders.
Do not attempt to fasten the trigger in the “ON” position. This could lead to
an accidental discharge of the air stapler. Do not operate the air stapler if any
portion of the tool’s operating controls are inoperable, disconnected, altered in
any way or not in proper working order. Failure to comply with this warning
could result in serious injury or even death to the operator or other bystanders.
All air compressors must comply with the requirements of ANSI
b19.3. Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure where
air supply pressure exceeds the tool’s rated operating pressure.
Do not carry the air stapler with a finger on the trigger. This could lead to an
accidental discharge of the air stapler. Do not press the trigger of the air stapler
unless it is pressed firmly against the work piece. Do not point the air stapler at
yourself or in the direction of another person. Failure to comply with this warn-
ing could result in serious injury or even death to the operator or other
bystanders.
Do not tamper with the work piece contact. The work piece contact prevents
accidental discharge of the air stapler and should never be removed or compro-
mised in any way. Failure to comply with this warning could result in serious
injury or even death to the operator or other bystanders.
Always disconnect air hose and remove any remaining staples:
1. When air stapler is left unattended.
2. Before performing any maintenance or repair on the air stapler.
3. Before attempting to clear a jam in the air stapler.
4. Before moving the air stapler to a new location.
Always check the overall condition of the air stapler before using. Check for
and tighten any loose screws. Ensure all safety systems are in working condi-
tion before using the air stapler. The air stapler must not operate if only the trig-
ger is pulled or if only the work piece contact is pressed against the work piece.
The air stapler must only be used if both the trigger and work piece contact
work at the same time.
