5. OPERATION
A WARNING : Make sure
you have read all safety
instructions . This tool comes completely assembled .
There is no assembly required . Make sure tool is
powered off before any of operations .
2. The power tool has a bottom load staple magazine .
Turn tool upside down
and squeeze pusher
assembly ( Fig 2 ) .
3. Pull pusher assembly out until it stops to reveal the
staple
magazine ( Fig 3 ) .
4. Place stick of staples in bottom channel so legs are
pointing
up ( Fig 4 )
For brad and pin nails , place only on left side , push
slide closed ,
making
sure
the latch
engages
.
5. For brads , Be sure nail heads are pointing down .
For pin , be sure the flat end are pointing down , and
the sharp tip are pointing up . Push slide closed ,
making sure that latch engages . ( Fig 5 ) .

Never attempt to
completely
remove pusher assembly as this may damage the
tool and void the
warranty . Close pusher
assembly
until it snaps into place . On very hard surfaces , firing
recoil may interfere with nail / staple penetration.En
hance driving power by firmly placing one hand on
top
of cap . ( Fig 7 ) .
5.2 Firing
your tool
1. To fire your tool , make sure tool is powered on .
place down on your workpiece depressing the
contact safety on the front of the tool . Once the
contact safety is depressed , push the trigger to fire
your
staple . You must pick up
the front of the tool and
reactivate the contact safety for each shot . The tool
will operate in low temperatures down to 32 ° F ( ° C )
and in higher temperatures up to 104 ° F ( 40 ° C ) .
5.3 How to
determine
proper
staple
leg size
In choosing the proper staple leg length for a job ,
there are two basic things to consider :
1.
Thickness
of
material to be stapled .
2. Hardness of the
wood.As a general rule , in
hardwood , approximately 1/4 " penetration into the
wood is sufficient ... and for softwood , up to
approximately 3/8 " should be sufficient . The staple
should be flush with
the underlying
surface , as
shown in ( Fig 8a ) . However , if the staple used is not
flush with the underlying surface , as shown in ( Fig
8b ) - this means that too long a leg length has been
used . In that case , we recommend the next shorter
leg
length
for
desired
results .
