Application Notes
1. Due to the limitations of a manual tool,
this product can not drive straps completely into all areas of wood. Avoid knots
and dense, high resin areas.
2. If a fastening failure occurs, clear the strap
and any material in the front of the magazine completely out. This will significantly
reduce the chance of reoccurrence.
