WARNING: Always assume that the tool contains staples.
Careless handling of the stapler can result in unexpected
firing of staples and personal injury. Do not point the tool
towards yourself or anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering
could discharge a staple causing an injury. No horseplay!
Work Safe! Respect the tool as a workingimplement.

WARNING: Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is
placed firmly against the workpiece. If the tool is not in
contact with the workpiece, the staple may be deflected
away from yourtarget.
There is no need for depthadjustment.
1. Load unit withstaples.
2. Place battery intotool.
3. Locate cable alignment guide

directly over the cable or
wire you wish to staple so that the wire is centered as much
as possible between the 2 prongs of the cableguide.

WARNING: Staples must be driven straight into the
material. Do not tilt stapler while driving staples. Refer to
Figure G. Staple retention values improve when tool is fired
perpendicular to thematerial.

5. Check wire for damage after eachshot.
NOTE: When fastening into certain wood materials, additional
force applied towards the wood may be needed to properly
seat thestaple.

WARNING: Use caution in locating stapler over cable or
wire to prevent the staple from piercing the cable jacket or
insulation. After firing each staple, visually inspect driven
staple to make sure wire insulation was not damaged. If
damaged replacewire.

out until it reaches the end of itstravel.
3. Tip the tool right side up until any loose staple strips fall
freely out of the magazine. Any jammed staples can then
beremoved.
4. Refill magazine with newstaples.
Cold Weather Operation
When operating tools at temperatures below freezing:
1. Keep tool as warm as possible prior touse.
2. Actuate the tool a few times into scrap lumber over a piece
of scrap cable beforeusing.
Hot Weather Operation
Tool should operate normally. However, keep tool out of direct
sunlight as excessive heat can deteriorate bumpers and other
rubber parts resulting in increasedmaintenance.
MAINTENANCE
Your DeWALT power tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regularcleaning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before loading staples, making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental actuation can causeinjury.
The charger and battery pack are notserviceable.
DAILY MAINTENANCE CHART
ACTION
Clean magazine, pusher, and contact
tripmechanism.
WHY
Permits smooth operation of magazine, reduces
wear, and preventsjams.
HOW
Blowing off the tool with compressed air is the
most effective way to clean the tool. The use
of oils, lubricants periodically or solvents is not
recommended as they tend to attract debris
and/or damage the plastic parts of thetool.
ACTION
Before each use, check to ensure all screws and
staples are tight andundamaged.
WHY
Prevents jams and premature failure of toolparts.
HOW
Tighten loose screws using the appropriate hex
wrench orscrewdriver.
Lubrication
NOTICE: NEVER spray or in
any other way apply lubricants
or cleaning solvents inside the
tool. This can seriously affect
the life and performance of
thetool.
DeWALT tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are
ready for use. However, it is recommended that, once a year,
you take or send the tool to a certified service centre for a
thorough cleaning andinspection.
