PRECAUTIONS ON USING STAPLER
1. Safe operation through correct usage
This tool was designed for driving staples into wood and similar materials. Use it for its intended purpose only.
2. Make sure air pressure is within the rated range of air pressure.
Please make sure that the air pressure is within a range of 4.9 bar – 8.3 bar (70 ~ 120 psi.), and that the air which is used is clean and dry. If the air pressure is greater than 8.3 bar (120 psi.), the life of the power tool will be shortened and dangerous conditions could develop. Tools shall not be connected to pressure which potentially exceeds 14 bar (200 psi.).
3. Never operate the equipment with high-pressure gases other than compressed air.
Never use carbon dioxide, oxygen or another gas from pressurized containers under any circumstances.
4. Be careful of ignition and explosions.
Since sparks may fly during stapling, it is dangerous to use this tool near lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline, gas, adhesives and similar inflammable substances as they may ignite or explode. Under no circumstances should this tool therefore be used in the vicinity of such inflammable material.
5. Always wear eye protection (protective goggles).
When operating the power tool, always wear eye protection, and ensure that surrounding people wear eye protection too. The possibility of fragments of the staples that were not properly hit entering the eye is a threat to sight. Eye protection can be bought at any hardware store. Always wear eye protection while operating this tool. Use either eye protection or a wide vision mask over prescription glasses. Employers should always enforce the use of eye protection equipment.
6. Protect your ears and head.
When engaged in stapling work please wear ear mufflers and head protection. Also, depending on condition, ensure that surrounding people also wear ear mufflers and head protection.
7. Pay attention to those working close to you.
It would be very dangerous if staples that were not properly driven in should hit other people. Therefore, always pay attention to the safety of the people around you when using this tool. Always make sure that nobody’s body, hands or feet are close to the staple outlet.
8. Never point the staple outlet towards people.
Always assume the tool contains fasteners. If the staple outlet is pointed towards people, serious accidents may be caused if you mistakenly discharge the tool. When connecting and disconnecting the hose, during staple loading or similar operations, be sure the staple outlet is not pointed towards anyone (including yourself). Even when no staples are loaded at all, it is dangerous to discharge the tool while pointing it at someone, so never attempt to do so. No horseplay. Respect the tool as a working implement.

9. Before using the power tool, check the push lever.
Before using the power tool make sure to check that the push lever and valve operate properly. Without staples loaded into the power tool, connect the hose and check the following. If the sound of operation occurs this indicates a fault, so in such a case do not use the power tool until it has been inspected and repaired. If merely pulling the trigger causes operating
sound of drive bit movement occur, the power tool is faulty.
If merely pushing the push lever against the
material to be stapled causes the sound of drive bit movement to occur, the power tool is faulty. Furthermore, with regard to the push lever, please note that it must never be modified or removed.
10. Use specified staples only.
Never use staples other than those specified and described in these instructions.
11. Be careful when connecting the hose.
When connecting the hose and loading staples in order not to fire the tool by mistake, make sure of the followings.
Do not touch the trigger.Do not allow the firing head to contact with any
surface.
Keep the firing head down.
Strictly observe the above instructions, and always make sure that no part of the body, hands or legs is ever in front of the staple outlet.
12. Do not carelessly place your finger on the trigger.
Do not place your finger on the trigger except when actually stapling. If you carry this tool or hand it to someone while having your finger on the trigger, you may inadvertently discharge a staple and thus cause an accident.
13. Press the staple outlet firmly against the material to be stapled.
When driving in staples, press the staple outlet firmly against the material to be stapled. If the outlet is not applied properly, the staples may rebound.
14. Keep hands and feet away from the firing head when using.
It is very dangerous for a staple to hit the hands or feet by mistake.
15. Beware of the tool’s kickback
Do not approach the top of the tool with your head, etc. during operation. This is dangerous because the tool may recoil violently if the staple currently being driven in comes into contact with a previous staple or a knot in the wood.
16. Take care when stapling thin boards or the corners of wood.
When stapling thin boards, the staples may pass right through, as may also be the case when stapling the corners of wood due to deviation of the staples. In such cases, always make sure that there is no one (and nobodys hands or feet; etc.) behind the thin board or next to the wood you are going to staple.
17. Simultaneous stapling on both sides of the same wall is dangerous
Under no circumstances should stapling be performed on both sides of a wall at the same time. This would be very dangerous since the staples might pass through the wall and thus cause injuries.
18. Do not disconnect the hose with your finger on the trigger.
If you disconnect the hose with your finger on the trigger, the next time the hose is connected, there is a danger that the power tool will fire a staple spontaneously, or operate incorrectly.
19. Disconnect the hose and take out any staples left in the magazine after use.
Disconnect tool from air before doing tool maintenance, cleaning a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or after use. It is very dangerous for a staple to be fired by mistake.
20. When removing a staple which has become stuck, make sure to first of all disconnect the hose and release compressed air.
When removing a staple which has become stuck in the staple outlet, first of all make sure to disconnect the hose and release compressed air inside the power tool. Accidental firing of the staple could be very dangerous.
21. A female plug (air socket) should not be used in the body.
If a female plug is installed in the body, the compressed air sometimes can not be drawn when the hose is disconnected so avoid this. The tool and air supply hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is removed from the tool when the coupling joint is disconnected.

BEFORE USE
1. Check the air pressure CAUTION:
The air pressure must be constantly maintained at 4.9 – 8.3 bar (70 – 120 psi.). Adjust the air pressure between 4.9 to 8.3 bar (70 ~ 120 psi.) according to the diameters and length of staples and hardness of the wood being stapled. Pay special attention to the output pressure, capacity, and piping on the air compressor, so that air pressure does not exceed the specified limit. Note that excessive pressure may affect overall performance, service life, and safety.
2. Lubrication
(1) Prior to operating this stapler, be sure to provide an air
set between the air compressor and this device. Lubrication through the air set offers smooth operation, extended service life, and anticorrosion. Adjust the oiler so that a single drop of oil is supplied at intervals of 5 to 10 stapling cycles.
(2) It is recommended using the recommended oil (SHELL
TONNA). Other applicable oils are listed. Never mix two or more types of different oils.
3. Load staples
(1) Shift the staple feeder to the rear and engage it with
the groove of the staple guide.
(2) Insert series of staples from the top and feed manually
to the front. Load separated staples so that they are packed within the magazine cover (Fig. 1)
(3) After loading staples, shift the staple feeder to the rear
