5.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY HOSE FROM THE AIR STAPLER
BEFORE LOADING THE STAPLES TO PREVENT A STAPLE FROM BEING
ACCIDENTALLY FIRED DURING CONNECTION.
The Air Stapler’s driving
mechanism may cycle when the tool is connected to the air supply. When not in
use, disconnect from air supply and remove all Stapes from the Moving Rail (part
#76) of the Air Stapler.
6.
DO NOT LOAD STAPLES WITH THE TRIGGER (part #31) OR SAFETY ELE-
MENT (part #55) DEPRESSED.
Doing so may cause accidental firing of a
Staple.
7.
ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER (part #31) WHEN NOT
DRIVING STAPLES.
Never carry the Air Stapler with your finger on the Trigger,
as the tool will fire a Staple if the Safety Element (part #55) is bumped while the
Trigger is depressed.
8.
ALWAYS ASSUME THE AIR STAPLER IS LOADED.
Keep the tool pointed
away from yourself and others at all times.
9.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO DRIVE A STAPLE INTO MATERIAL THAT IS TOO
HARD, AT TOO STEEP AN ANGLE, OR NEAR THE EDGE OF THE
WORKPIECE.
The Stapler may ricochet, causing personal injury to you or
others nearby.
10.
GRIP THE AIR STAPLER FIRMLY WITH BOTH HANDS TO MAINTAIN
CONTROL, WHILE ALLOWING THE TOOL TO SLIGHTLY RECOIL AWAY
FROM THE WORKPIECE AS A STAPLE IS DRIVEN.
11.
MAKE SURE ALL ADJUSTING WRENCHES ARE REMOVED FROM THE
AIR STAPLER BEFORE USING.
12.
MAINTAIN A SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT.
Keep the work area well lit.
Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work
area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use the Air
Stapler in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors.
13.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE AIR STAPLER FROM ITS AIR SUPPLY
before
performing any maintenance or cleaning of the tool, leaving the work area, mov-
ing the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.
