H2909 18 Gauge Stapler Kit -7 -
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 4 .)
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.

Always disconnect air from stapler
whenever clearing a jammed staple!
Clearing Jammed Staples
The most frequent situation with any type
of stapler is a staple jam. A jammed staple
must be cleared before using the stapler
again. The two places where a staple can
get jammed are the magazine and the dis-
charge area.
To clear a jammed staple from the dis-
charge area:
1. Disconnect the stapler from the air
supply!
2. Remove all of the staples from the
magazine.
3. The jammed staple should now be
visible; remove it from the discharge
area with needle nose pliers.
4. Replace the staples. Push the maga-
zine closed and snap the quick
release latch back into operating posi-
tion.
To clear a jammed staple from the maga-
zine:
1. Disconnect the 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 with a pair of needle nose pliers.
Close the magazine cover so it latch-
es.
