IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING

TO A RISK OF FIRE,

ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR

INJURY TO PERSONS

WARNING – When using tools, basic pre-

cautions should always be followed, including the following:

General

a. To reduce the risks of electric

shock, re, and injury to persons,

read all the instructions before using the Stapler.

Work area

WARNING

indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION, used

with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

a. Keep the work area clean and well

lighted. Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric

shock, re, and injury to persons.

b. Do not operate the Stapler in ex-

plosive atmospheres, such as in

the presence of ammable liquids,

gases, or dust. The Stapler is able to create sparks resulting in the ignition of the dust or fumes.

c. Keep bystanders, children, and

visitors away while operating the

Stapler. Distractions are able to re-

sult in the loss of control of the tool.

conditions. Wear heavy-duty work gloves during use.

Personal safety

a. Stay alert. Watch what you are do-

ing and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating the tool increases the risk

of injury to persons.

b. Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons

as a result of being caught in moving parts.

c. Avoid unintentional starting. Be

sure the Trigger (39) is off before connecting to the air supply. Do not

carry the Stapler with your nger on

the switch or connect the tool to the air supply with the switch on.

d. Remove adjusting keys and

wrenches before turning the Stapler on. A wrench or a key that is left

attached to a rotating part of the tool

increases the risk of personal injury.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enables better control of the Stapler in unexpected situations.

g. Always wear eye protec-

tion. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.

h. Always wear hearing

protection when using the Stapler. Prolonged

exposure to high intensity

noise is able to cause hearing loss.

i. Risk of Electric Shock. This tool

is not provided with an insulated gripping surface. Contact with a

″live″ wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool ″live″ and

shock the operator.

j. Avoid body contact with grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is

an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

k. Explore the workpiece to avoid

contact with hidden wiring. Thoroughly investigate the workpiece for possible hidden wiring before performing work. Contact with live wiring will shock the operator.

Tool use and care

a. Use clamps or another practical

way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against the body is unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.

f. Use safety equipment. A

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable

b. Do not force the Stapler. Use the

correct tool for the application. The

correct tool will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which the tool is designed.

c. Do not use the Stapler if the Trig-

ger (39) does not turn the tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be con-

trolled with the Trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.

d. Disconnect the Stapler from the air

source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool unintentionally. Turn off and detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure, and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position before leaving the work area.

e. Store the Stapler when it is idle out

of reach of children and other untrained persons. A tool is dangerous

in the hands of untrained users.

f. Maintain the tool with care. Keep a

cutting tool sharp and clean. A properly maintained tool, with sharp cutting edges reduces the risk of binding and is easier to control.

g. Check for misalignment or bind-

ing of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects the Stapler’s operation.

If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.

h. Use only accessories that are

identied by the manufacturer for the specic tool model. Use of an

accessory not intended for use with

the specic tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.

Service

a. Tool service must be performed

only by qualied repair personnel.

b. When servicing a tool, use only

identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.

c. Use only the lubricants supplied

with the Stapler or specied by the

manufacturer.

Air source

a. Never connect to an air

source that is capable of exceeding 110 psi. Over

pressurizing the tool may

cause bursting, abnormal operation,

breakage of the tool or serious injury

to persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated pressure or within the rated pressure range as marked on the tool. Always verify prior to using the tool that the

air source has been adjusted to the

rated air pressure or within the rated air-pressure range.

b. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide,

combustible gases or any bottled gas as an air source for the tool.

Such gases are capable of explosion

and serious injury to persons.

2. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints

• Crystalline silica from bricks and

cement or other masonry products

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially

designed to lter out microscopic

particles. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.) WARNING: The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects (or other reproductive harm). (California Health & Safety code § 25249.5, et seq.)

3. Only use with accessories rated to handle the forces exerted by this Stapler during operation. Other accessories not designed for the forces generated may break and forcefully launch pieces.

5. Obey the manual for the air compressor used to power this Stapler.

6. Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow immediate control over the air supply in an emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.

7. Use this Stapler with both hands only. Using tools with only one hand can result in loss of control.

Vibration Precautions

This Stapler vibrates during use.

Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent

physical injury, particularly to the hands,

arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of

vibration-related injury:

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should

rst be examined by a doctor and

then have regular medical checkups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and

white or blue ngers), seek medical

advice as soon as possible.

4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.

5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.

6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the Stapler do the work.

7. To reduce vibration, maintain the Stapler as explained in this manual. If abnormal vibration occurs, stop immediately.

SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the

hands and ngers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
