Basic Stapler Safety

In addition to the rules stated in the previ-

ous section, and those in the warning

boxes throughout this manual, please

observe the following safety tips for your

new stapler:

1.

READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL
BEFORE OPERATING THE STA-
PLER.

2.

ALWAYS DISCONNECT AIR FROM
THE STAPLER

whenever servicing

or installing staples. During mainte-

nance, a stapler connected to air may

fire accidentally, causing serious per-

sonal injury.

3.

DO NOT PLACE HANDS NEAR
STAPLE POINT OF ENTRY.

Staple

can deflect and tear through the sur-

face of the workpiece, puncturing

your hand or fingers.

4.

NEVER CONNECT THE STAPLER
TO PRESSURIZED OXYGEN OR
OTHER COMBUSTIBLE GASES

as

a power source. Only use filtered,

lubricated, and regulated compressed

air.

5.

NEVER USE GASOLINE OR
OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO
CLEAN THE STAPLER.

Vapors in

the tool will ignite by a spark and

cause the tool to explode.

6.

DO NOT CARRY THE STAPLER BY
ANY OTHER PART THAN THE
HANDLE,

and do not carry the sta-

pler by the air hose.

7.

DO NOT KEEP THE TRIGGER
PULLED ON THE SAFETY YOKE
MECHANISM WHEN CARRYING
OR HOLDING THE TOOL.

8.

DO NOT USE A CHECK VALVE OR
ANY OTHER FITTING

that allows air

to remain in the tool

.

Never point this stapler at yourself or
another person! Always pay attention
to the direction this stapler is pointed.
Use this tool with respect and caution
to lessen the possibility of operator or
bystander injury. Ignoring this warn-
ing may result in serious personal
injury.
