SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: Read the manual carefully before use. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in injury and/or damage to
property. Save the manual in a safe place for future reference.
• Only staples which are compatible with the tool must be used.
• Quick action couplings must be used for connection to the compressed air system and the non-sealable nipple must be fitted on the tool in such a way that
no compressed air remains in the tool after disconnection.
• Oxygen or combustible gases must not be used as an energy source for this tool.
• Make sure to connect the tool to an air supply where the maximum allowable pressure of the tool cannot be exceeded by more than 10%. In case of higher
pressure, a pressure reducing valve which includes a downstream safety valve must be built into the compressed air supply.
• Only spare parts specified by the manufacturer must be used in order to repair the tool.
• Repairs must only be carried out by the manufacturer's authorized agents or by other experts, having due regard to the information given in the operating
instructions.
• Stands for mounting the tool to a support, for example to a work table, must be designed and constructed by the stand manufacturer in such a way that the
tool can be safely fixed for the intended use in order to avoid the risk of injury.
• For the maintenance and repair of the tool, only spare parts specified by the manufacturer or its authorized representative must be used.
• Check prior to each operation that the safety and triggering mechanism is functioning properly and that all nuts and bolts are tight.
• Do not modify the tool in any way.
• Do not operate the tool if it is damaged in any way.
• Do not operate the tool unless all parts are correctly installed.
• The tool must be serviced properly and at regular intervals in order to ensure optimum performance.
• Avoid damaging the tool and protect it from impacts with hard objects.
Safety during operation
• While operating the tool, do not point it at yourself or at any other person or animals.
• Hold the tool during operation in such a way that no injuries can be caused to the head or to the body in the event of possible recoil which can occur upon
disruption of the energy supply or if the tool comes into contact with hard objects.
• Never press the trigger into free space. This will avoid any hazard caused by ejected staples.
• The tool must be disconnected from the compressed air system before it is transported.
• Carry the tool only by the handle and never with the trigger pressed.
• Take conditions at the workplace into account. Staples can penetrate thin work pieces or slip off corners and edges of workplaces, and thus put people at risk.
• For personal safety, use protective equipment such as hearing and eye protection.
• The tool is fitted with a safety device which only allows the tool to operate after the muzzle of the tool has been pressed against a workpiece. Such tools are
marked with an inverted triangle behind the serial number and must not be operated without the safety device in place.
Important: DO NOT direct the adjustable vent hole towards the operator or other persons or animals during operation.
Compressed air system (fig. 1)
• For proper operation of the tool, an adequate quantity of filtered, dry compressed air is required.
• If the air pressure in the compressed air system exceeds the maximum allowable of the tool, a pressure reducing valve followed by a downstream safety valve
must additionally be fitted in the compressed air line powering the tool.
• When compressed air is generated by compressors, the natural moisture in the air condenses and collects as condensed water in the system. This condensate
must be removed by water separators. These water separators must be checked on a daily basis and if necessary drained, since corrosion can otherwise
develop in the compressed air system and in the tool which causes the rate of wear to accelerate.
• The compressor must be adequately dimensioned in terms of pressure output and performance (volumetric flow) for the consumption which is to be
expected. Pipes which are too small in relation to the length of the pipe as well as overloading the compressor will result in pressure drops.
