to display the
double arrow icon.
NOTE: Battery life in RapidCycle mode will be shorter than
in standard sequential mode. Leaving the tool in standard
sequential will give maximum batterylife.
Sequential Mode
The sequential mode is used for intermittent stapling. It
offers the maximum battery life for drivingstaples.

5. Release the trigger and raise the stapler from the
worksurface.
6. Repeat steps 3–5 to actuate the nextstaple.
RapidCycle Mode
In RapidCycle mode, the motor rotation speed is
automatically restored after driving a staple to allow fast
consecutive stapling. While offering the ability to drive more
staples in less time, this mode more quickly depletes the
batterycharge.
1. Using the tool free mode select switch
4
, select the
RapidCyclemode.
2. Release the trigger lock-off

worksurface.
NOTE: The tool motor returns to full speed
automatically without the contact trip

Tool Free Stall Release (Fig. L)
If the stapler is used in harder material where all available
energy in the motor is used to drive a fastener, the tool
may stall. The driver will not complete the drive cycle and
the jam/stall indicator will flash. Rotate the tool free stall
release
8
on the tool and the mechanism willrelease.
NOTE: The tool will disable itself and not reset until the
battery pack has been removed and reinserted. If the
driver does not automatically return to the home position,
proceed to Clearing a Jammed Staple. If the unit continues
to stall please review the material and fastener length to be
sure that it is not too rigorous an application. The stapler
could also be overheated and needs time to cool before
furtheruse.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, disconnect battery pack from tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
servicing, or moving the tool. Such preventative
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
toolaccidentally.

CAUTION: When removing a jammed staple, DO
NOT orient the stapler with the nose up or with
the battery foot up. Positioning the stapler this way
makes the jammed staple or pieces of the staple more
likely to be ingested into the stapler. If any portion of
a staple is ingested into the tool, the staple should be
retrieved by removing the topcap.
If a staple becomes jammed in the nosepiece, keep the
tool pointed away from you and follow these instructions
toclear:
1. Remove battery pack

.
2. After laying the tool on its side, slide the spring-loaded
pusher latch
