Installation
Adjust to the lowest air pressure that will bend the staples
correctly. Start at about 5.0 bar and increase the pressure by
0.5 bar increments until the pressure is correct.
Never exceed 8 bar.
Low air pressure helps to keep down maintenance costs.
Make sure that the minimum internal diameter of the air
hose is 6 mm (1/4") and that of the nipple is a minimum of
5 mm (6/32"). This will prevent incorrect operation due to a
significant drop in pressure. The tool and the hose must be
fitted with a connection nipple that automatically bleeds the
tool when it is disconnected.

Adjust to the lowest air pressure that will bend the staples
correctly. Start at about 5.0 bar and increase the pressure
by 0.5 bar increments until the pressure is correct.
Never exceed 8 bar.
Low air pressure helps to keep down maintenance costs.
The tool is adjustable for 15 or 18 mm staples. The tool
setting for a different staple leg length is altered as follows.
Start by adjusting the depth of stapling for deep clinching
(=) as shown in the upper picture.
Then in order to adjust to required leg length.
1. Slacken the locking screw (A) underneath with a 2.5 mm
Allen key.
2. Set to the required staple leg length.
3. Tighten the locking screw.
The depth of the stapling claws is easily adjusted using
the setting knob. Depress the knob and turn it to the
required position.
- Shallow stapling
= Deep stapling
It is possible to adjust how tightly the staple is closed.
Turn the adjusting nut clockwise (A) to close the staple
tightly and anticlockwise (B) to close it less tightly.

Only use original JK560 staples (15 or 18 mm leg length).
Load the magazine as follows:
1. Hold the pusher by its finger grip and pull the pusher back
until it latches in the magazine.
2. Insert two sticks of staples into the magazine.
3. Lift the finger grip up to release the latch. Move the pusher
forward until it is touching the rearmost staple stick.

4. Hold the tool against the cardboard (A). Then pull the
trigger (B). The tool automatically returns to the first position.
Then move the tool and pull the trigger to fire the next staple.

The employer is responsible for ensuring that:
these Operating Instructions and appended documents
are made available to all personnel concerned, and that
they read, understand and comply with the instructions;
the personnel operating the tool are sufficiently trained
and are well aware of the risks of accident, appropriate
working methods and tool maintenance;
general safety regulations, and specific regulations with
respect to minors working with nail guns/stapler tools,
are complied with;
personnel are given the instructions, equipment and time
to perform daily tool inspection.
Please read these safety precautions carefully to prevent
injury to yourself and others. Refer to the later sections for
additional information.
To prevent eye injuries, the operator and others in the
work area should wear eye protection.
Ear protection and other personal protection equipment
should also be worn as required.
Never use oxygen, combustible gases, CO2, steam
or high pressure gas tanks as power sources for the PN
(pneumatic) version of this tool as these may cause the tool
to explode and cause serious injury. Only use dry, clean,
regulated compressed air to power the tool.
Never use a defective tool. Inspect the tool every day
to ensure that the trigger is working properly and that all
screws and nuts are secured tightly.

Safety precautions

Safety precautions
It is not permissible to make changes or modifications to
this tool or set it up in a jig without the manufacturer’s ap-
proval.
Always disconnect the tool from the air supply and empty the
magazine when you leave the tool for breaks, at the end of
the day, when troubleshooting, or when carrying out mainte-
nance or repairs. Never leave a loaded tool unattended.
Always assume that the tool is loaded. This is a working
implement and not a toy. Never point the tool at yourself or
anyone else, whether it contains staples or not. Always re-
move your finger from the trigger when not driving staples.
Avoid personal injury. Never hold your hand or any other
part of your body under the tool. Always place yourself in a
firmly balanced position when using the tool.
Connect the tool to the compressed air system before the
fastener unit is loaded. The maximum permitted air pressure
for the tool is 8 bar (116 psi). The maximum supply pressure
is 8.8 bar (127 psi). Make sure that the minimum internal di-
ameter of the air hose is 6 mm (1/4") and that of the nipple is
a minimum of 5 mm (6/32"). This will prevent incorrect opera-
tion due to a significant drop in pressure. The tool and the
hose must be fitted with a connection nipple that automati-
cally bleeds the tool when it is disconnected.

Troubleshooting
Always disconnect the tool from the air supply, empty the
magazine and read the Safety precautions section before
you begin troubleshooting. Normally it is not necessary to
dismantle any parts in order to remove a defective staple
from the front nozzle plate. Grip the staple with a pair of flat-
nosed pliers at the exit from the front nozzle plate. Carefully
pull out the staple.
All safety devices must be inspected daily to ensure that
they are working properly. Make especially sure that:
the trigger and safety yoke move freely without binding;
all screws and nuts are securely tightened.
This tool does not require special servicing. It only needs
regular cleaning with a non-aggressive cleaning agent. Do
not remove any parts for cleaning purposes.
Apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the nipple of the
tool every day or approximately 10 drops once a week to
maximize the life and utility of the tool. For high-frequency
stapling, we recommend oil-mist lubrication. Please contact
our agent for advice. Oil recommendation.
Part no.:
1 litre 184314
0.2 litre 733007
Sliding parts have been lubricated with multipurpose
grease at the factory. We recommend using multipurpose
grease on moving parts after they have been cleaned or
replaced.
