for using air staplers
Before using the stapler
After using the stapler
While using the stapler
• To prevent possible injuries, the operator and any other
person in the work area shall wear safety glasses with side
protection as well as protective helmets in compliance with
the Official Mexican Standards (NOM).
• Inspect the tool. Never operate a tool if the lock, the
trigger or the springs are not operating; are damaged or
lost. Do not make any modification to the lock, trigger or
springs.
How to verify the correct use of the lock
• The tool is built with a contact lock to prevent an
accidental shot.
• To verify its functioning disconnect the tool from the air
supply.
• Empty the cartridge (see page 7).
• Double-check the trigger and contact lock can move
freely up and down.
• Connect the tool to the air supply.
• Without pressing the trigger press the contact lock against
a piece of scrap wood(
A
). The tool should not shoot.
Otherwise stop using it and go to a
Authorized Service Center to repair.
• Remove the contact lock from the wood piece (
B
). The
lock shall return to its original position and when pressing
the trigger the tool should not shoot. Otherwise stop using
it and go to a Authorized Service
Center to repair.
• To prevent accidental shots keep your fingers away from
the trigger when the tool is nor been used.
• Do not point the tool towards your body, people or
animals.
• Disconnect the tool from the air supply before loading
staples. Thus, preventing a staple will accidentally be shot
during the connection process.
• Do not try to insert a staple on the edge or near the edge
of the work piece. If the piece breaks or separates, it would
shoot the staples with enough power to cause injury.
• Shoot staples only towards the work surface. Never
shoot towards surfaces hard to penetrate on top of another
staple or having the tool in steep angle. This could make
the staples to bounce exposing the operator to severe
injury.
• Do not try to load staples when the trigger is pressed.
This action shoots a staple unexpectedly.
• When moving the tool, only hold it by the handle. Never
activate the trigger while moving. Never carry the tool
holding it by the hose or pulling the hose to move the tool.
• Disconnect the stapler from the air supply before carrying
out any maintenance or unblocking job when leaving the
work area or if giving it to another operator.
