1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE TOOL
1. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES
Danger to the eyes always exists due to the possibility of
dust being blown up by the exhausted air or of a fastener fly-
ing up due to the improper handling of the tool. For these
reasons, safety glasses or goggles shall always be worn
when operating the tool.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye pro-
tection is worn. Eye protection equipment must conform to
the requirements of Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21
DEC. 1989 (the American National Standards Institute,
ANSI Z87.1) and provide both frontal and side protection.
The employer is responsible to enforce the use of eye pro-
tection equipment by the tool operator and all other person-
nel in the work area.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields
alone do not provide adequate protection.

OPERATING and MAINTENANCE MANUAL
BEFORE USING THIS TOOL, STUDY THIS MANUAL TO ENSURE SAFETY WARNING AND IN-
STRUCTIONS.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE TOOL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING
TO AVOID SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE
BEFORE USING THE TOOL, READ CAREFULLY AND UN-
DERSTAND THE FOLLOWING "SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS". FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD
RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING

2. EAR PROTECTION MAY BE REQUIRED IN SOME ENVI-
RONMENTS
As the working condition may include exposure to high
noise levels which can lead to hearing damage, the employ-
er and user should ensure that any necessary hearing pro-
tection is provided and used by the operator and others in
the work area.
3. DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE EXCEPT AN AIR
COMPRESSOR
The tool is designed to operate on compressed air. Do not
operate the tool on any other highpressure gas, combusti-
ble gases (e.g., oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since there is the
danger of an explosion. For this reason, absolutely do not
use anything other than an air compressor to operate the
tool.
4. OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE
RANGE
The tool is designed to operate within an air pressure range
of 5 to 6.9 bar (70 to 100 p.s.i.).
The pressure should be adjusted to the type of the work be-
ing fastened. The tool shall never be operated when the op-
erating pressure exceeds 6.9 bar (100 p.s.i.).
Never connect the tool to air pressure which potentially ex-
ceeds 13.8 bar (200 p.s.i.) as the tool can burst.
5. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A FLAMMABLE
SUBSTANCE
Never operate the tool near a flammable substance (e.g.,
thinner, gasoline, etc.). Volatile fumes from these substanc-
es could be drawn into the compressor and compressed to-
gether with the air and this could result in an explosion.
6. NEVER USE THE TOOL IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOS-
PHERE
Sparks from the tool may ignite atmospheric gases, dust or
other combustible materials.
7. DO NOT USE A WRONG FITTINGS
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air
supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting is used, the tool
can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus
will be able to drive a fastener even after the air line is dis-
connected, possibly causing injury.
8. DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND EMPTY THE
MAGAZINE WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the air supply from the tool and empty
the magazine when operation has been completed or sus-
pended, when unattended, moving to a different work area,
adjusting, disassembling, or repairing the tool, and when
clearing a jammed fastener.
9. INSPECT SCREW TIGHTNESS
Loose or improperly installed screws or bolts cause acci-
dents and tool damage when the tool is put into operation.
Inspect to confirm that all screws and bolts are tight and
properly installed prior to operating the tool.
10. DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER UNLESS YOU INTEND
TO DRIVE A FASTENER
Whenever the air supply is connected to the tool, never
touch the trigger unless you intend to drive a fastener into
the work. It is dangerous to walk around carrying the tool
with the trigger pulled, and this and similar actions should
be avoided.
11. NEVER POINT THE DISCHARGE OUTLET TOWARD
YOURSELF AND OTHER PERSONNEL
If the discharge outlet is pointed toward people, serious ac-
cidents may be caused when misfiring. Be sure the dis-
charge outlet is not pointed toward people when connecting
and disconnecting the hose, loading and unloading the fas-
teners or similar operations.

12. USE SPECIFIED FASTENERS
(SEE PAGE 6)
The use of fasteners other than specified fasteners will
cause the tool malfunction. Be sure to use only specified
fasteners when operating the tool.
13. PLACE THE DISCHARGE OUTLET ON THE WORK SUR-
FACE PROPERLY
Failure to place the discharge outlet of the nose in a proper
manner can result in a fastener flying up and is extremely
dangerous.
14. KEEP HANDS AND BODY AWAY FROM THE DIS-
CHARGE OUTLET
When loading and using the tool, never place a hand or any
part of body in fastener discharge area of the tool. It is very
dangerous to hit the hands or body by mistake.
15. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS CLOSE TO THE EDGE
AND CORNER OF THE WORK AND THIN MATERIAL
The workpiece is likely to split and the fastener could fly free
and hit someone.
16. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS ON TOP OF OTHER FAS-
TENERS
Driving fasteners on the top of other fasteners may cause
deflection fasteners which could cause injury.
17. REMOVING THE FASTENERS AFTER COMPLETING
OPERATION
If fasteners are left in the magazine after the completion of
operation, there is the danger of a serious accident occur-
ring prior to the resumption of operation, should the tool be
handled carelessly, or when connecting the air fitting. For
this reason, always remove all fasteners remaining in the
magazine after completion of the operation.
18. WHEN USING THE TOOL OUTSIDE OR ELEVATED
PLACE
When fastening roofs or similar slanted surface, start fas-
tening at the lower part and gradually work your way up.
Fastening backward is dangerous as you may lose your foot
place.
Secure the hose at a point close to the area you are going
to drive fasteners. Accidents may be caused due to the
hose being pulled inadvertently or getting caught.
19. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF ANY PORTION OF THE TOOL
CONTROLS (e.g., TRIGGER) IS INOPERABLE, DISCON-
NECTED, ALTERED OR NOT WOKING PROPERLY
20. NEVER ACTUATE THE TOOL INTO FREE SPACE
This will avoid any hazard caused by free flying fasteners
and excessive strain of the tool.
21. ALWAYS ASSUME THAT THE TOOL CONTAINS FAS-
TENERS
22. RESPECT THE TOOL AS A WORKING IMPLEMENT
23. NO HORSEPLAY
24. NEVER LOAD THE TOOL WITH FASTENERS WHEN
ANY ONE OF THE OPERATING CONTROLS (e.g., TRIG-
GER) IS ACTIVATED
25. WHEN DISPOSING THE MACHINE OR ITS PARTS, FOL-
LOW THE RELEVANT NATIONAL RULES
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GENERAL CAU-
TION IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER WARNINGS
CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL

NOTE:
A filter will help to get the best performance and minimum wear
from the tool because dirt and water in the air supply are major
causes of wear in the tool.
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for the best
performance. Oil added thru the air line connection will lubricate
the internal parts.

5. MAINTENANCE
1ABOUT PRODUCTION YEAR
This product bears production number at the lower part of
the grip of the main body. The two digits of the number from
left indicates the production year.
2DO NOT FIRE THE STAPLER WHEN IT IS EMPTY
3USE A 3-PIECE AIRSET
Failure to use a 3-piece airset allows the moisture and dirt
inside compressor to pass into the tool directly. This causes
rust and wear, and results in a poor operating performance.
The hose length between airset and tool should be no long-
er than 5 m since a longer length results in a reduction in air
pressure.
4USE RECOMMENDED OIL
The velocite or turbine oil should be used to lubricate the
tool. Upon completion of operations, place 2 or 3 drops of
oil into the air plug inlet with the jet oiler. (Recommended Oil
: ISO VG32)
5INSPECT AND MAINTAIN DAILY OR BEFORE OPERA-
TION
Disconnect air supply and empty the magazine when inspect-
ing or maintaining the tool.
(1) Drain air line filter and compressor
(2) Keep lubricator filled in air 3-pieces set
(3) Clean filter element of air 3-pieces set
(4) Tighten all screws
6. STORAGE
1When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of
the lubricant to the steel parts to avoid rust.
2Do not store the tool in a cold weather environment. Keep
the tool in a warm area.
3When not in use, the tool should be stored in a warm and
dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
4All quality tools will eventually require servicing or replace-
ment of parts because of wear from the normal use.
