 The stapler is designed for single-hand use. Do not
hold the tool by the front of the magazine. Do not put
hands, head, or other parts of your body near the bot-
tom of the magazine where the staple exits the tool, as
serious personal injury could result.
 Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
 Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive a
fastener into the workpiece.
 Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully
positioned above the workpiece. Positioning the
workpiece contact only partially above the workpiece
could cause the fastener to miss the workpiece com-
pletely and result in serious personal injury.
 Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The
workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet,
injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the fastener
may follow the grain of the wood, causing it to protrude
unexpectedly from the side of the work material or de-
flect, possibly causing injury.
 Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work
area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to
keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the
workpiece is properly secured before pressing the fas-
tener against the material. The workpiece contact may
cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.
 Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool
cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil
can result in impact to the body, especially when driving
fasteners into hard or dense material.
STAPLER SAFETY WARNINGS
5 — English
 During normal use the tool will recoil immediately
after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of
the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding
the stapler against the work. Restriction to the recoil can
result in a second fastener being driven from the stapler.
Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do the work and do not
place second hand on top of tool or near exhaust at any
time. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
 Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with
the tool at an overly steep angle as this may cause
deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
LOADING TOOL
 Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of the
operating controls is activated.
When loading tool:
 Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener dis-
charge area of tool.
 Never point tool at anyone.
 Do not pull the trigger or depress the workpiece contact
as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing
injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
 Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others
who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan
