9. Before using the power tool, check the push lever.
Before using the power tool make sure to check that
the push lever and valve operate properly. Without
staples loaded into the power tool, connect the hose
and check the following. If the sound of operation
occurs this indicates a fault, so in such a case do
not use the power tool until it has been inspected
and repaired.
If merely pulling the trigger causes operating
sound of drive bit movement occur, the power
tool is faulty.
If merely pushing the push lever against the
material to be stapled causes the sound of
drive bit movement to occur, the power tool
is faulty. Furthermore, with regard to the push
lever, please note that it must never be modified
or removed.
10. Use specified staples only.
Never use staples other than those specified and
described in these instructions.
11. Be careful when connecting the hose.
When connecting the hose and loading staples in
order not to fire the tool by mistake, make sure of
the following.
Do not touch the trigger.
Do not allow the firing head to contact with
any surface.
Keep the firing head down.
Strictly observe the above instructions, and always
make sure that no part of the body, hands or legs is
ever in front of the staple outlet.
12. Do not carelessly place your finger on the trigger.
Do not place your finger on the trigger except when
actually stapling. If you carry this tool or hand it to
someone while having your finger on the trigger,
you may inadvertently discharge a staple and thus
cause an accident.
13. Completely Close the blade guide and do not open
it during operation.
If stapling is attempted when the blade guide is
open, staples will not be driven into the timber, and
there is a risk of dangerous discharge.
14. Press the staple outlet firmly against the material
to be stapled.
When driving in staples, press the staple outlet
firmly against the material to be stapled. If the outlet
is not applied properly, the staples may rebound.
15. Keep hands and feet away from the firing head
when using.
It is very dangerous for a staple to hit the hands or
feet by mistake.
16. Beware of the tool's kickback.
Do not approach the top of the tool with your head
etc. during operation. This is dangerous because the
tool may recoil violently if the staple currently being
driven in comes into contact with a previous staple
or a knot in the wood.
17. Take care when stapling thin boards or the corners
of wood.
When stapling thin boards, the staples may pass
right through, as may also be the case when stapling
the corners of wood due to deviation of the staples.
In such cases, always make sure that there is no
one (and nobody's hands or feet; etc.) behind the
thin board or next to the wood you are going to
staple.
18. Simultaneous staping on both sides of the same
wall is dangerous.
Under no circumstances should stapling be
performed on both sides of a wall at the same time.
This would be very dangerous since the staples
might pass through the wall and thus cause injuries.
19. Do not use the power tool on scaffoldings, ladders.
The power tool shall not be used for specific
application for example:
– when changing one driving location to another
involves the use of scafforldings, stairs, ladders
or ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths,
– closing boxes or crates,
– fitting transportation safety systems e.g. on
vehicles and wagons
20. Do not disconnect the hose with your finger on the
trigger.
If you disconnect the hose with your finger on the
trigger, the next time the hose is connected, there
is a danger that the power tool will fire a staple
spontaneously, or operate incorrectly.
21. Disconnect the hose and take out any staples left
in the magazine after use.
Disconnect tool from air before doing tool
maintenance, cleaning a jammed fastener, leaving
work area, moving tool to another location, or after
use. It is very dangerous for a staple to be fired by
mistake.
22. When removing a staple which has become stuck,
make sure to first of all disconnect the hose and
release compressed air.
When removing a staple which has become stuck
in the staple outlet, first of all make sure to
disconnect the hose and release compressed air
inside the power tool.
Accidental firing of the staple could be very
dangerous.
23. To avoid hazards caused by falling staples, never
open the magazine with the device facing
downward while loading staples.
24. A female plug (air socket) should not be used in the
body.
If a female plug is installed in the body, the
compressed air sometimes can not be drawn when
the hose is disconnected so avoid this.
The tool and air supply hose must have a hose
coupling such that all pressure is removed from the
tool when the coupling joint is disconnected.
