CORDLESS STAPLER SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners. Careless handling of the stapler can
result in unexpected firing of fasteners and
personal injury.
2. Do not point the tool towards yourself or
anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering will
discharge the fastener causing an injury.
3. Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is
placed firmly against the workpiece. If the tool
is not in contact with the workpiece, the fastener
may be deflected away from your target.
4. Disconnect the tool from the power source
when the fastener jams in the tool. While
removing a jammed fastener, the stapler may be
accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
5. Use caution while removing a jammed fastener.
The mechanism may be under compression and
the fastener may be forcefully discharged while
attempting to free a jammed condition.
6. Do not use this stapler for fastening electrical
cables. It is not designed for electric cable
installation and may damage the insulation of
electric cables thereby causing electric shock or
fire hazards.
7. Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shield, and a full face shield when
needed.
8. Keep hands and feet away from the ejection
port area.
9. Always remove the battery cartridge before
loading the fasteners, adjustment, inspection,
maintenance or after operation is over.
10. Make sure no one is nearby before operation.
Never attempt to drive fasteners from both the
inside and outside of wall at the same time.
Fasteners may rip through and/or fly off,
presenting a grave danger.
11. Watch your footing and maintain your balance
with the tool. Make sure there is no one below
when working in high locations.
12. Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the
like carefully to avoid possible electrical
shock, gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused
by stapling into live wires, conduits or gas
pipes.
13. Use only fasteners specified in this manual.
The use of any other fasteners may cause
malfunction of the tool.
14. Do not tamper with the tool or attempt to use it
for other than driving fasteners.
15. Do not operate the tool without fasteners. It
shortens the service life of the tool.
16. Stop driving operations immediately if you
notice something wrong or out of the ordinary
with the tool.
17. Never fastener into any materials which may
allow the fastener to puncture and fly through
as a projectile.
18. Never actuate the switch trigger and safety
lever at the same time until you are prepared
to fastener workpieces. Allow the workpiece to
depress the safety lever. Never defeat its
purpose by securing the safety lever back or
by depressing it by hand.
19. Never tamper with the safety lever. Check the
safety lever frequently for proper operations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
Fig.1
• Always switch off the tool before installing or
removing of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the
tool while sliding the button on the front of the
cartridge.
• To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on
the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing
and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way
until it locks in place with a little click. If you can see
the red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is
not locked completely. Install it fully until the red
indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally
fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
• Do not use force when installing the battery
cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it
is not being inserted correctly.
Safety system
Fig.2
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 yourself 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.
