FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Before adjusting or checking func-
tion on the tool, always release the trigger and
disconnect the air hose from the tool.
Adjusting depth of stapling
► Fig.5: 1. Adjuster
To adjust the depth of stapling, turn the adjuster.
The depth of stapling is the deepest when the adjuster
is turned fully in the A direction shown in the figure. It
will become shallower as the adjuster is turned in the B
direction.
If staples cannot be driven deep enough even when the
adjuster is turned fully in the A direction, increase the
air pressure.
If staples are driven too deep even when the adjuster is
turned fully in the B direction, decrease the air pressure.
Generally speaking, the tool service life will be longer
when the tool is used with lower air pressure and the
adjuster set to deeper depth of staple driving.
Hook
CAUTION:
Never hook the tool at high loca-
tion or on potentially unstable surface.
CAUTION:
Do not hang the hook from the
waist belt. If the stapler accidentally drops, it may
result in misfiring and personal injuries.
► Fig.6: 1. Hook
The hook is convenient for hanging the tool temporarily.
Air duster
CAUTION:
Do not aim the ejection port of the
air duster to someone. Also, keep your hands and
foot away from the ejection port. If the air duster
button is accidentally pushed, it may cause a per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION:
Always check your surroundings
before using the air duster. Blown dust or objects
may hit someone.
CAUTION:
Do not connect or disconnect the
air hose while pushing the air duster button.
The air supplied to the tool can also be used as an air
duster. You can clean the work area by pressing the
button on the grip end.
► Fig.7: 1. Button
NOTICE:
After using the air duster, the driving force
of the tool will temporarily decline. Wait until the air
pressure recovers in this case.
NOTICE:
Perform a test blow if you use the air
duster immediately after the oil was applied. The oil
may be sprayed with the air.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Before carrying out any work on
the tool, always release the trigger and discon-
nect the air hose from the tool.
CAUTION:
Load the same type, size and
uniform length of staples when loading multiple
strips of staples in the magazine.
Loading stapler
NOTE: Always hold the rear of the sliding door when
you press the lever. The sliding door opens suddenly
with the lever pressed when staples are stored in the
magazine.
1. Press the lever and open the sliding door of the
magazine.

2. Insert a strip of staples into the opening of the
magazine all the way.
► Fig.9
3. Close the sliding door until the sliding door is
locked.
► Fig.10
Dimensions of staples
Only the following fasteners can be used with the tool.
18 Gauge crown staples
► Fig.11
Maximum
► Fig.12: (1) 38 mm
Minimum
► Fig.13: (1) 1.25 mm (2) 13 mm (3) 3.5 mm
(4) 1.05 mm
Removing staples
To remove staples, follow the procedures of "Loading
stapler" in reverse.
Nose adapter
To prevent the surface of workpiece from being
scratched or damaged, use the nose adapter.
► Fig.14: 1. Nose adapter 2. Contact element
A spare nose adapter is stored in the place shown in
the figure.
► Fig.15: 1. Spare nose adapter
Connecting air hose
► Fig.16: 1. Air fitting 2. Air socket
Slip the air socket of the air hose onto the air fitting on
the stapler. Be sure that the air socket locks firmly into
position when installed onto the air fitting.
A hose coupling must be installed on or near the tool in
such a way that the pressure reservoir will discharge at
the time the air supply coupling is disconnected.
