General Information
and Safety Instructions 2
CAUTION: Read all safety regulations and instructions. Any failures
made in following the safety regulations and instructions may result
in an electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Keep all safety regulations
and instructions in a safe place for future use.
The term 'electric tool' used in the safety regulations refers to electric
tools operated from the mains power supply (with a power cable) and
to battery operated electric tools (without a power cable).
Workplace safety
•Keep your work area clean and well illuminated. Untidy or unlit work
areas can result in accidents.
•Do not use this tool in a potentially explosive environment containing
combustible liquids, gases or dust.
•Electric tools generate sparks, which can in turn ignite dust or vapours.
•Keep children and other persons away from the electric tool while it
is being used.
•Stay alert, allowing yourself to get distracted can cause you to lose
control of the tool.
Electrical safety
•The tool’s connector plug must be able to t into the socket outlet. Do not
modify the plug in any way! Do not use adapter plugs in conjunction with
electrically grounded tools. Unmodied plugs and matching socket outlets
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
•Avoid touching grounded surfaces, such as those of pipes/tubes, heaters,
cookers and refrigerators.
•There is an increased risk of getting an electric shock if you are
electrically grounded.
•Keep the tool away from rain and moisture/wet conditions.
•Penetration of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an
electric shock.

•Do not use the cable to carry the tool, hang it up or pull the plug out of
the socket. Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil, sharp edges
and moving tool parts.
•Damaged or tangled cable increases the risk of an electric shock.
•If you intend to use an electric tool outdoors, ensure that you only use
an extension cable that is approved for outdoor applications. Using an
extension cable that is approved for outdoor applications reduces the
risk of an electric shock.
•If operation of the electric tool in a damp environment can not be avoided,
use an earth leakage circuit-breaker. The earth-leakage circuit-breaker
reduces the risk of an electric shock.
Personal safety
•Be alert, work conscientiously and exercise appropriate caution when
using the electric tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired or are under
the inuence of drugs/medication or alcohol. One moment of carelessness
or lack of attention when using the electric tool can cause serious
bodily injury!
•Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety
goggles. Wearing personal protective equipment such as protective
headgear and ear defenders reduces the risk of sustaining an injury.
•Make sure that the tool cannot start up accidentally. Ensure that the
electric tool is switched o before you connect the tool to the power
supply, or pick up or carry the tool. Physically touching the switch with
your nger when carrying the tool or connecting the tool to the power
supply switched on can lead to accidents.
•Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you stand squarely and keep
your balance at all times. This way, you will be able to have better control
over the tool in unexpected situations. Wear suitable clothes. Never wear
loose tting clothes or jewellery. Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, dangling jewellery and long hair can be
caught by moving parts.

Using, and the treatment of electric tools
•Do not overload your tool. Only use suitable electric tools to perform your
work. Using the right electric tool allows you to work better and more
safely within the tool’s quoted capacity range.
•Do not use an electric tool with a defective ON / OFF switch. An electric
tool that can no longer be switched on or o is dangerous and must
be repaired.
•Do not use this tool if the Power Cord is damaged. Have the cord repaired
by an authorised specialist. Do not attempt to repair the cord yourself
before making any adjustments to the tool, changing accessories or
putting the tool down. This precaution eliminates the possibility of
inadvertently starting the tool.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Supervise young children to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• Take good care of your tool. Check that moving parts properly function
and do not jam, that parts are not broken o or damaged in any way and
that the tool can be used to its full capacity. Have damaged parts repaired
prior to using the tool. The cause of many accidents can be traced back to
poorly maintained electric tools.
•Keep your blades sharp and clean. Properly maintained blades with sharp
edges jam less frequently and are easier to use.
•Make sure to use electric tools, accessories, attachments, etc. in accordance
with these instructions. Take the conditions in your work area and the job
in hand into account. Using electric tools for applications other than those
intended can lead to dangerous situations.
Service
•Have your tool repaired only by authorized specialists using original
replacement parts. This will ensure that your tool remains safe to use.

Additional safety instructions
•Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Careless handling of the
tacker can result in unexpected ring of fasteners and personal injury.
•Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby. Unexpected
triggering will discharge the fastener causing an injury.
•Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed rmly against the
workpiece. If the tool is not in contact with the workpiece, the fastener
may be deected away from your target.
•Disconnect the tool from the power source when the fastener jams in the
tool. While removing a jammed fastener, the tacker may be accidentally
activated if it is plugged in.
•Do not use this tacker 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 re hazards.
•Always remove the plug from the wall socket whenever the tool is not
being used, before carrying out any maintenance work or changing the
staples or nails.
•Wear the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), in particular
safety goggles and ear defenders, when working with the Electric
Staple Gun.
•Always keep the magazine and all guides free of foreign bodies. Before
using the tool always make sure that there are no foreign bodies in the
magazine or guides.
•Make sure that the tool is kept clean and also that the air vents are free
and clean.
•Never use the tool with staples or nails which are not suitable for it. The
use of other staples and nails may cause injury or damage the tool. Read
the operating instructions for notes on which staples and nails are suitable.
•If the Electric Staple Gun is in use over a long period, the tool may heat up
as it is designed for intermittent operation. After using the tool for a long
period, remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the tool to cool.
•When working with the Electric Staple Gun, keep your ngers and other
body parts away from the stapler head.

Instructions 6
IMPORTANT: It must be possible to move the magazine slide without
applying much force. Watch out for jammed staples or nails.
Setting the stapling force (Fig. 1)
You can pre-select the stapling force of the Electric Staple Gun to suit
the length of the staples or nails used and the strength of the material.
To do so, set the stapling force control (3) to the desired force. (Rotate
the wheel clockwise to increase the force, or counter-clockwise to
decrease the force). The ideal stapling force is best determined by
carrying out a trial on a
test piece.
