FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
Fig.1
Always switch off the tool before insertion or
•
removal of the battery cartridge.
To remove the battery cartridge, pull out the set
•
plate on the tool and grasp both sides of the
cartridge while withdrawing it from the tool.
To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on
•
the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing
and slip it into place. Snap the set plate back into
place. Be sure to close the set plate fully before
using the tool to prevent the battery cartridge from
accidentally falling out of the tool.
Do not use force when inserting the battery
•
cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it
is not being inserted correctly.
Depth adjustment
Fig.2
If the staples are driven too deep or too shallow, adjust
the driving depth by turning the nut on the bottom of the
tool. For deeper driving of staples, turn the nut clockwise.
For shallower driving, turn the nut counterclockwise.
Please note the nut must be turned in increments of
180° (1/2 turn) so that the groove on the nut runs parallel
to the magazine.
NOTE:
If the distance between the tool end (A) and the
•
material to be fastened is more than 2 mm, the tool
will not operate because the safety lever is not
pressed enough to operate the tool.

are performed. Test for possible faulty operation with a
battery
tool unloaded and pointed well away from yourself or
any bystanders.
