SPECIFIC RULES FOR STAPLERS
WARNING:
To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not use your tool until the following steps
have been read and understood.
1. AIR PRESSURE
• Use air pressure that is compatible with the ratings on the nameplate of the tool.
• Air pressure should not exceed 100 psi or 6.9 bar.
• Do not connect the tool to a compressor rated at over 175 psi even in the event of a regulator failure.
• Use only clean, dry, and regulated air. Condensation from an air compressor can rust and damage the
internal workings of the tool.
2. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job for which it was not designed.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
• Always wear ANSI Z87.1-approved glasses with side shields, hearing protection and a dust mask.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, as they might get drawn in by the tool. Tie back long hair.
• DO NOT wear gloves while operating this machine.
• Wear a FACE MASK or DUST MASK to fight the debris produced by operation and ear protection to fight
hearing loss.
4. ALWAYS USE an air hose that is rated at a maximum working pressure of at least 150 psi (10.4 bar)
5. DO NOT USE BOTTLED GASES to power this tool. Bottled compressed gases such as oxygen, carbon
dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen, propane, acetylene or air are not for use with pneumatic tools. Never use
combustible gases or any other reactive gas as a power source for this tool. Danger of explosion and/or
serious personal injury may result.
6. USE COUPLINGS that relieve all pressure from the tool when it is disconnected from the power supply.
Use hose connectors that shut off the air supply from the compressor when the tool is disconnected.
7. DISCONNECT tool from air supply when not in use. Remove fasteners from magazine before leaving
the area or passing the tool to another operator. Do not climb ladders, stairs, scaffoldings, etc. without
disconnecting the tool. Do not carry a connected tool to another work area. Do not make adjustments,
remove magazine, perform maintenance or clear jammed fasteners while connected to the air supply.
8. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS before connecting the tool to the air supply. Otherwise, fasteners are at
risk of being fired during connection. The tool’s driving mechanism may cycle when it is connected to
the air supply. Do not load fasteners when the trigger or the safety is pressed down in order to prevent
unintentional firing of a fastener.
9. DO NOT PRESS THE TRIGGER WHEN LOADING.
WARNING: Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to your health. Always operate
the tool in a well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection systems
whenever possible.
