ATTACH COMPRESSED AIR
WARNING: Make sure the tool is not pointed at
you or anyone else when connecting it to the
compressed air line.
Connect the tool to the compressed air system before
the fastener unit is loaded.
NOTE: The maximum permitted air pressure for
the tool is 8 bar (116 psi). The maximum supply
pressure is 8.78 bar (127 psi).
The tool and its hose can be equipped with a
connection nipple (not included) that automatically
exhausts air from the tool after it has been
disconnected.
Ensure that the minimum internal diameter of the air
hose is 10 mm (3/8") and that of the nipple is a minimum
of 5 mm (6/32"). This prevents incorrect operation due to
excessive pressure drop.
SET THE AIR PRESSURE
Adjust the air pressure to the lowest setting that will bend
the staples correctly.
1. Start at 5.0 bar.
2. Raise this by 0.5 bar increments
until you find the correct
pressure for the job.
WARNING: Never exceed 8
bar (116 psi).
CHANGE THE STAPLE LEG LENGTH SETTING
Use the setting knob to adjust depth
of stapling claws.
Press the knob in and then turn it to
the required position.
‘–’ denotes shallow stapling,
‘=’ denotes deep stapling.
ADJUST THE LEG LENGTH
The tool adjusts for 15 or 18 mm
staples.
1. Loosen the locking screw
underneath with a 2.5 mm Allen
key.
2. Set the required staple leg
length.
The side guides in the magazine are adjustable. 'Outer'
position denotes 18 mm, 'Internal' denotes 15 mm.
3. Tighten the locking screw.
NOTE: Use only original roll staples of type JK561
with 15 or 18 mm leg length. (See information
on the magazine.)
TO ADJUST THE AMOUNT THE STAPLE CLOSES
For a tighter staple closure: Turn the
adjusting nut clockwise (A).
For a looser staple closure: Turn the
adjusting nut counterclockwise (B).
LOAD THE MAGAZINE
1. Hold the pusher by its finger grips
and pull it back until it latches in the magazine.
2. Insert two sticks of staples into the magazine.
3. Lift the finger grips up to release the latch. Push the
pusher forward until it contacts the rearmost staple
stick.
TO OPERATE THE STAPLER

MAINTENANCE
Before servicing, always disconnect the tool
from the air supply, empty the magazine and
read the section Safety warnings before starting
maintenance.
Check the proper functioning of all safety devices daily.
Carefully inspect:
•The trigger and safety yoke move freely without
binding or sticking.
•All screws and nuts are securely tightened.
This tool does not require special servicing. It only needs
regular cleaning with a non-aggressive (noncorrosive)
cleaning agent.
WARNING: Do not remove any parts for
cleaning purposes.
LUBRICATION
The tool needs a small amount of lubricating oil in the
nipple each day or approximately 10 drops once a
week to ensure a safe function and endurance. For
high frequency stapling we recommend lubricating
oil.
Grease sliding or moving parts with multipurpose grease
if they have been cleaned or replaced.
CLEARING JAMS
Generally you will not need to disassemble any parts to
clear jamming in the nozzle plate.
1. Grip the staple with a pair of flat-nosed pliers at the
exit from the front nozzle plate.
2. Carefully remove the staple.
