staples into the magazine.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Staples
Handle the staples and their box carefully. If the
•
staples have been handled roughly, they may be
bent out of shape, causing poor staple feed or
jamming.
Avoid storing the staples in a very humid or hot
•
place or place exposed to direct sunlight.
Do not attempt to use staples that appear to be
•
damaged, bent, rusty or corroded.

staples can fall out and present a danger to anyone
or anything below. Keep this in mind especially
when working in high locations.

OPERATION

Driving staples

not tip the tool to the right or left side. Hold the tool firmly
against the material. Then pull the trigger to drive the
staples.
If the staples are driven too shallow, press the tool head
as shown in the figure and drive the staples. If the staples
are still driven too shallow, adjust the driving depth by
turning the nut clockwise. Refer to ''Depth adjustment''.
