CAUTION:
• Do not hang the hook from the waist belt. Dropping the
stapler, which is caused by the hook accidentally
coming out of place, may cause misfiring and personal
injuries.
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool.
To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool
housing on either side and then secure it with a screw.
To remove, loosen the screw and then take it out. (Fig. 8)
OPERATION
Depth adjustment (Fig. 9)
If the staples are driven too deep or too shallow, adjust the
driving depth by turning the nut on the bottom of the tool.
For deeper driving of staples, turn the nut clockwise. For
shallower driving, turn the nut counterclockwise. Please
note the nut must be turned in increments of 90° (1/4 turn)
so that the groove on the nut runs parallel to the
magazine.
Driving staples (Fig. 10)
Place flat the opening of the tool from which staples are
fired on the material to be fastened and hold the tool firmly
against the material. Then pull the lever and then pull the
trigger fully to drive the staples. The grip is shaped so that
the tool head can be held down securely with index finger
and thumb. After driving a staple, be sure to release the
trigger fully.
When the head of driven staple remains above the
surface of material to be fastened, drive the staple while
holding the stapler head firmly. (Fig. 11)
NOTE:
• Using the stapler continuously with the head of driven
staples remaining above the surface of material to be
fastened may cause damage to the driver of the stapler
and stapler jamming etc.
Checking remaining staples (Fig. 12)
CAUTION:
• Do not operate the tool without staples. It shortens the
service life of the tool.
There is a convenient sight window on the right side of the
tool (when viewing the tool from the front). Use this sight
window to check if there are staples in the magazine.
When staples are not visible through the window, load
staples into the magazine.
Removing jammed staples
WARNING:
• Always make sure that the trigger are released and the
battery cartridge is removed before removing jammed
staples .
Remove the battery cartridge from the stapler. (Fig. 13)
Press the locking lever on the rear of the sub magazine
and slide the sub magazine backward.
Take out stuck staples that remain inside the opening that
staples are fired from as it appears.
