Operating Stapler
If you have not read the safety instruc-
tions in this manual, do not operate the
stapler.
Before you operate your stapler, place one
drop of the included oil into the quick con-
nect fitting where the stapler connects to
the air supply. Fire the EMPTY stapler 3-4
times before beginning, so oil does not
come out onto the project during regular
operation.
To operate your stapler:
1. Connect the air supply to the quick
connect fitting.
2. Test the loaded stapler for proper
penetration. Hold the stapler perpen-
dicular to the surface of a piece of
clean scrap wood that is thick enough
for the length of staples you have
loaded. Depress the safety yoke
mechanism on your workpiece.
3. Before pressing the trigger, make
sure your free hand is positioned out
of the way of a potential path of a sta-
ple in case of deflection. (Deflection is
caused when the staple changes its
path, resulting in the staple puncturing
the surface of the workpiece as
shown in Figure 3 .)
Figure 3. Example of staple deflection.
Besides damaging your workpiece,
deflection can cause injury if your free
hand is securing the workpiece in the
location that the staple deflects.
4. Press the trigger. If the staple drove
into the wood far enough, continue
with your intended operations. If the
staple either went too far or not far
enough, then adjust the air pressure.
More air pressure will make the staple
go deeper and less air pressure will
decrease the staple penetration.
