H2912/H2913 2-IN-1 NAILER/STAPLER -7 -
To operate your nailer/stapler:
1. Connect the air supply to the quick
connect fitting.
2. Test the loaded nailer/stapler for prop-
er penetration. Hold the nailer/stapler
perpendicular to the surface of a
piece of clean scrap wood that is thick
enough for the length of staples/nails
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/nail in case of deflection.
(Deflection is caused when the sta-
ple/nail changes its path, resulting in
the staple/nail puncturing the surface
of the workpiece as shown in Figure
4 .)
Besides damaging your workpiece,
deflection can cause injury if your free
hand is securing the workpiece in the
location that the staple/nail deflects.
4. Press the trigger. If the staple/nail
drove into the wood far enough, con-
tinue with your intended operations. If
the staple/nail either went too far or
not far enough, then adjust the air
pressure. More air pressure will make
the staple/nail go deeper and less air
pressure will decrease the staple/nail
penetration.

Always disconnect air from the nail-
er/stapler whenever clearing a jam!
Clearing Jammed
Staples/Nails
The most frequent situation with any type
of nailer/stapler is a jammed nail or staple.
A jam must be cleared before using the
nailer/stapler again. The two places where
a jam can occur is the magazine and the
discharge area.
To clear a jam from the discharge area:
1. Disconnect the nailer/stapler from
the air supply!
2. Remove all of the staples/nails from
the magazine.
3. The jammed staple/nail should now
be visible; remove it from the dis-
charge area with needle nose pliers.
4. Replace the staples/nails. Push the
magazine closed and snap the quick
release latch back into operating posi-
tion.
To clear a jam from the magazine:
1. Disconnect the nailer/stapler from
the air supply!
2. Open the magazine cover and pull the
magazine all the way back.
3. Locate and remove the jammed sta-
ple/nail with a pair of needle nose pli-
ers. Close the magazine cover so it
latches.
