10. DO NOT REMOVE, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool or trigger to become inoperable. Do
not tape or tie the trigger in the ON position. Make daily inspections for free movement of the trigger.
Uncontrolled discharge may result. Do not alter or modify the tool in any way.
11. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled
footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.
12. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool before use. Do not operate if any
portion of the tool or trigger is damaged, inoperable, disconnected, or altered. Leaking air, damaged parts,
or missing parts should be repaired or replaced before use.
13. ALWAYS ASSUME that the tool contains fasteners. Do not point the tool at yourself, bystanders, or
animals at any time, even if you think it will be really funny.
14. DO NOT DRIVE STAPLES onto the heads of other fasteners. Do not use the tool at too steep of an
angle. Personal injury from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricochetted staples may result.
15. BE AWARE of material thickness when using the stapler. A protruding staple may cause injury.
16. KNOW that when the tool is being utilized at pressures on the high end of its operating range,
staples can be driven completely through thin or very soft work material. Make sure the pressure in the
compressor is set so that staples are set into the material and not pushed completely through.
17. DO NOT USE THE TOOL in the presence of flammable dust, gases or fumes. The tool may produce a
spark that could ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a staple into another staple may also cause a spark.
18. GRIP THE TOOL FIRMLY to maintain control while still allowing it to recoil away from the work surface
as the fastener is driven. In bump action mode (contact actuation mode), be careful as to not fire an
unwanted fastener.
19. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. When using an air compressor outdoors, use only extension cords
rated for outdoor use. See manufacturer’s manual for the AWG required for the compressor’s amperage
draw.
20. PAY ATTENTION TO AIR HOSE AND THEIR CONNECTIONS. Don’t trip over the hoses. It isn’t fun. Also,
make sure the connections are nice and tight.
21. WHEN CONNECTING TO THE AIR SUPPLY the tool is at risk of possibly firing fasteners. Therefore,
remove all the fasteners before connecting to the air.
22. IF THE FASTENERS ARE JAMMED, disconnect the tool from the air supply first before removing the
jammed fasteners.
These safety instructions can’t possibly warn of every scenario that may arise with this tool,
so always make sure to stay alert and use common sense during operation.
