gers are not placed on the trigger and the battery
cartridge is removed before loading staples.
Unintentional firing may cause personal injuries and

NOTICE:
Load staples in the correct direction
as illustrated. The sub magazine cannot be closed
securely if you load staples in wrong direction.
NOTICE:
Avoid loading strips of fewer staples,
especially when using staples in short lengths. It
may cause jamming and damages to the tool.
NOTICE:
Prepare strips of staples of the same
length and size before loading multiple strips of
staples at one time.
Should strips of different dimensions be installed
in the magazine, discharge all the mismatched
staples in the magazine onto the junk material.
3. Return the sub magazine to the original position
and lock it in place with the locking lever.
To remove the staples, turn the locking lever and slide
the sub magazine open. Take out the staples from the
magazine.
Nose adapter
CAUTION:
Always make sure that your
fingers are not placed on the switch trigger or
the contact element and the battery cartridge is
removed before installing the nose adapter.
When firing staples on the material with easily-marred
surfaces, attach the nose adapter onto the contact top.
You can store the nose adapter in the holder at the back
end of the magazine to keep it from being lost.

Hook
CAUTION:
When installing the hook, always
secure it with the screw firmly. If not, the hook
may come off from the tool and result in the personal
injury.
CAUTION:
Use the hanging/mounting parts
for their intended purposes only. Using for unin-
tended purpose may cause accident or personal
injury.
CAUTION:
Do not hang the hook from the
waist belt. Dropping the stapler, which is caused by
the hook accidentally coming out of place, may cause
unintentional firing and result in personal injuries.
► Fig.9
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool.
To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool
housing on either side and then secure it with a screw.
To remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.
