Model W1778 18 Gauge Deep Stapler Kit
-7-
A safety mechanism on the nose of
the stapler protects against accidental
firing. When the trigger is pressed, the
stapler will not fire until the safety nose
mechanism is depressed.
Before you use your stapler for the first
time, check the safety nose mechanism
to ensure proper function.
To check the safety nose mechanism,
do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT STAPLER FROM THE AIR
SUPPLY!
2. Make sure the magazine is empty and
contains no staples.
3. Make sure the trigger and the safety
nose mechanism move up and down
without sticking.
4. Connect the stapler to the air supply.
5. Without pressing the trigger,
depress the safety nose mechanism
against a scrap piece of wood that is
clean and free of any knots, staples,
or other foreign objects.
— If the stapler does not fire, then
the safety nose mechanism is
working correctly.
— If the stapler does fire when you
do this, immediately disconnect
the stapler from the air supply and
call Technical Support.
Safety Nose Mechanism — If the stapler fires when the trig-
ger is pulled, without the safety
nose mechanism being depressed,
then the stapler is not working
properly.
— If you find that the safety nose
mechanism is not working prop-
erly, check the lubrication of its
sliding components.
The safety mechanism is a mechanical
device that can fail. Never rely on this
mechanism as an excuse to point the
stapler at yourself or any bystanders.
Serious injury may occur.
Operating this stapler can propel
objects into the air, causing immediate
eye damage. To protect yourself,
always wear ANSI approved safety
glasses or goggles when operating this
equipment.
Do not attempt to modify or bypass
the safety nose mechanism to make
the stapler fire without pushing the
nose down.
