Actuating the Tool (Fig. I, J)

WARNING: Always turn off power to circuit before
attempting to staple wires. Do not staple "live" wires.

WARNING: Always assume that the tool contains
staples. Careless handling of the stapler can result in
unexpected firing of staples and personal injury. Do
not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby.
Unexpected triggering could discharge a staple
causing an injury. No horseplay! Work Safe! Respect
the tool as a working implement.

WARNING: 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 staple may be
deflected away from your target.
There is no need for depth adjustment.

or wire to prevent the staple from piercing the cable
jacket or insulation. After firing each staple, visually
inspect driven staple to make sure wire insulation was
not damaged. If damaged replace wire.
