WARNING! Always handle the stapler with care:
1. Never engage in horseplay. 2. Never pull
the trigger unless nose is directed toward the
work. 3. Keep others at a safe distance from
the stapler while in operation as accidental
actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
WARNING! Keep hands and body away from
the discharge area of the stapler.
WARNING! Do not drive fasteners on top of
other fasteners or with the stapler at an overly
steep angle as this may cause deflection of
fasteners which could cause injury.
WARNING! This stapler produces SPARKS
during operation. NEVER use the stapler near
flammable substances, gases or vapors
including lacquer, paint, benzene, thinner,
gasoline, adhesives, mastics, glues or any
other material that is – or vapors which are –
flammable, combustible or explosive. Using the
stapler in any such environment could cause
an EXPLOSION resulting in personal injury or
death to user and bystanders.

EYE PROTECTION
WARNING! Eye protection which conforms to
ANSI specifications and provides protection
against flying particles from both the FRONT
and the SIDES should always be worn by the
operator and others in the work area when
connecting to air supply, loading operating or
servicing this stapler. Eye protection is required
to guard against flying fasteners debris which
could cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that
proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection
equipment must conform to the requirements
of the American National Standards Institute
ANSI Z87.1 and provide both frontal and side
protection.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face
shields do not provide adequate protection.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
WARNING! Do not use oxygen, combustible
gases or bottled gases as a power source
for this stapler, as the stapler may explode,
possibly causing injury.
WARNING! Do not use supply sources which
can potentially exceed 200 psig as stapler
may burst, possibly causing injury.
WARNING! The connector on the stapler
must not hold pressure when air supply is
disconnected. If a wrong fitting is used, the
stapler can remain charged with air after
disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a
fastener even after the air line is disconnected,
possibly causing injury.
WARNING! Do not pull trigger or depress
contact arm while connected to the air supply
as the stapler may cycle, possibly causing
injury.
WARNING! Always disconnect air supply.
