Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the
completely discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the
battery cartridge when you notice less tool
power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged
cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room
temperature at 10 ﾟ C - 40 ﾟ C (50 ﾟ F - 104 ﾟ F).
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
Fig.1
Always switch off the tool before installing or
•
removing of the battery cartridge.
To remove the battery cartridge, pull out the set
•
plate on the tool and grasp both sides of the
cartridge while withdrawing it from the tool.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on
•
the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing
and slip it into place. Snap the set plate back into
place. Be sure to close the set plate fully before
using the tool to prevent the battery cartridge from
accidentally falling out of the tool.
Do not use force when installing the battery
•
cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it
is not being inserted correctly.

Depth adjustment

Fig.2
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.
battery
For shallower driving, turn the nut counterclockwise.
Please note the nut must be turned in increments of 180°
(1/2 turn) so that the groove on the nut runs parallel to the
magazine.
NOTE:
If the distance between the tool end (A) and the
•
material to be fastened is more than 2 mm, the tool
will not operate because the safety lever is not
pressed enough to operate the tool.

Safety system
Fig.4
Make sure all safety systems are in working order before
operation. The tool must not operate if only the switch
trigger is pulled or if only the safety lever is pressed
against the wood. It must work only when both actions
are performed. Test for possible faulty operation with a
tool unloaded and pointed well away from yourself or any
bystanders.
NOTE:
There is a possibility that the tool may operate for
•
an instant when only the trigger is pulled. This does
not indicate a problem. If this occurs, point the tool
well away from yourself or any bystanders. Release
and pull the trigger again to make sure the safety
systems are in working order.
