► 1. Trigger 2. Safety lever
Make sure all safety systems are in working order
before operation. The tool must not operate if only
the switch trigger is pulled or if only the safety lever is
pressed against the wood. It must work only when both
actions are performed. Test for possible faulty operation
with a tool unloaded and pointed well away from your-
self or any bystanders.
NOTE:
• There is a possibility that the tool may operate
for an instant when only the trigger is pulled.
This does not indicate a problem. If this occurs,
point the tool well away from yourself or any
bystanders. Release and pull the trigger again
to make sure the safety systems are in working
order.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always make sure that your fingers are not
placed on the trigger and the battery cartridge
is removed before carrying out any work on the
stapler.
Staples
• Handle the staples and their box carefully. If the
staples have been handled roughly, they may be
bent out of shape, causing poor staple feed or
jamming.
• Avoid storing the staples in a very humid or hot
place or place exposed to direct sunlight.
CAUTION:
• Do not use staples other than designated in this
manual or staples that appear to be damaged,
bent, rusty or corroded.
• Do not insert staples of which size is different
each other at the same time inside the maga-
zine , causing poor staple feed or jamming.
