DANGER
Safety instruction
1.Read this manual and understand all safety instructions before operating the
tool.
2.Never use flammable gases as a power source for the tool.
Use filtered, lubricated, regulated compressed air only.
3.Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to clean the tool.
4.Do not exceed maximum permissible operating pressure of the tool
2
(8kg/cM
5 5.Disconnect the tool from air supply before cleaning jams, servicing, adjusting,
and during non-operation.
)
WARNING
6.Do not pull the trigger when carrying or holding the tool. Never carry the
tool by the hose or pull the hose to move the tool.
7.At the workplace, always wear the protective equipment such as safety
glasses, hearing protection and head protection.
8.Do not use a check valve or any other fitting which allows air to remain in the
tool.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE
Your tool requires lubrication before you use it for the first time.
Disconnect the air supply from the tool before lubricating.
Before each use turn the tool so the inlet is facing up and put one drop of
Paslode pneumatic oil into air inlet. Never use detergent oil additives.
Operate the tool briefly after adding oil.
Wipe off excessive oil at the exhaust, excessive oil will damage o-rings of tool.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
NOTE
The following illustration shows the correct mode of connection to the air supply
system which will increase the efficiency and useful life of the tool.
Many air tool users find it convenient to use a lubricator to help provide oil circulation
through tool and increase the efficiency and useful life of the tool. Check oil level in
the lubricator daily.
Many air tool users find it convenient to use a filter to remove liquid impurities which can
rust or wear internal parts of the tool. A filter also increases the efficiency and useful life
of the tool. The filter must be checked on a daily basis and if necessary drained.

Operating the tool
Protect your eyes and ears. Wear safety
WARNING
glasses with side shields. Wear hearing
protection. Employers and users are
responsible for ensuring the user or anyone
near the tool wear this safety protection.
WARNING
To prevent accidental injuries: Never, place a
hand or any other part of body in staple
clinching area or adjustment window. Never
point tool toward anyone else. Never
engage in horseplay. Always handle the tool
with care. Never pull trigger unless tool is in
position required.
Insert staples into your tool following the
instructions of loading the tool.
Connect the air suppl
y.
Free actuation first. (The first actualtion will
push the C-ring to the front position of
clinchers.) Put the target into clinchers then
actuate
Note
Check if target is closed by C-ring
appropriately.

Cleaning the tool
DANGER
Never use gasoline or other flammable
liquids to clean the tool. Vapors in the
tool will ignite by a spark and cause the
tool to explode and result in death or
serious personal injury.
1. Disconnect the air supply from the
tool.
2. Remove tar buildup with kerosene #2
fuel oil or diesel fuel. Do not allow
solvent to get into the cylinder or
damage may occur. Dry off the tool
completely before use.
