Actuating the Tool (Fig. G)

WARNING: Always turn off power to circuit before
attempting to staple wires. Do not staple “live”wires.

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.

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.

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.

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.
