To load your stapler, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT STAPLER FROM THE AIR
SUPPLY!
2. Grip the stapler firmly, and pull the
magazine pusher back until it latches
in the groove as shown in
Figure 3.
If you have not read the safety
instructions in this manual, do not
operate the stapler.
Before you operate your stapler, place
two to three drops of the included oil
into the quick connect 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, do these steps:
1. Connect the air supply to the quick
connect fitting.
2. To test for proper staple penetration,
hold the stapler perpendicular to
the surface of a piece of clean scrap
wood that is thick enough for the
length of staples you have loaded.
3. Depress the safety nose mechanism
against your workpiece.
4. Before pulling the trigger, make sure
your free hand and other body parts
are positioned out of the way of the
potential path of a staple in case of
deflection.
