However when the tool is set to the "Intermittent
•
Staplling" mode, WITH THE TRIGGER HELD IN A

In order to avoid this unexpected stapling, perform
as follows;
A. Do not place the contact element against the
workpiece with excessive force.
B. Pull the trigger fully and hold it on for 1-2 seconds
after stapling.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always disconnect the air hose from the tool before
•
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
Maintenance of stapler
Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose
screws before operation. Tighten as required.
Fig.18
With tool disconnected, make daily inspection to assure
free movement of the contact element and trigger. Do
not use tool if the contact element or trigger sticks or
binds.
Fig.19
When the tool is not to be used for an extended period of
time, lubricate the tool using pneumatic tool oil and store
the tool in a safe place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight
and/or humid or hot environment.

Maintenance of compressor, air set and air
hose
Fig.22
Fig.23
After operation, always drain the compressor tank and
the air filter. If moisture is allowed to enter the tool, It
may result in poor performance and possible tool failure.
Check regularly to see if there is sufficient pneumatic oil
in the oiler of the air set. Failure to maintain sufficient
lubrication will cause O-rings to wear quickly.
Fig.24
Keep the air hose away from heat (over 60°C, over
140°F), away from chemicals (thinner, strong acids or
alkalis). Also, route the hose away from obstacles which
it may become dangerously caught on during operation.
Hoses must also be directed away from sharp edges
and areas which may lead to damage or abrasion to the
hose.
