Instructions for Use
The four–way activation TOGGLE provides two ways to activate the left and right
articulation controls:
• (1) Use as a push button to control left – right movement or
• (2) Fit the index finger into the half-hemisphere, and push the center ridge or pull the
side flare.
The SAFETY button can be pressed when the reload is fully closed to enable fire mode.
NOTE
When articulating the device back to center, the device will stop when the
reload is at the center point.
The ROTATION controls are located on either side of the stapler and provide directional
rotation control.
NOTE
When rotating the device, it will stop rotating at the 180 degree point from its
last position.
Precision Handling
Maximize the precision of the powered stapler by:
• Grasping the handle using a comfortable, ergonomic position.
• Using the thumb, rather than the index finger, to actuate the green safety button to
enable firing-mode.
• Using the index finger as the dedicated finger to actuate the four-way control toggle.
