OPERATION
SETTING THE DRIVE FORCE
See Figure 4, page 8.
The depth adjustment knob increases or decreases the force
with which a staple is driven into the workpiece.
Harder materials will require greater drive force.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Rotate the depth adjustment knob clockwise to increase
the drive force.
 To test for desired depth, use a scrap piece of the same
material you will be using for your project.
WARNING:
Always keep your fingers away from the discharge area
of the tool when driving a staple and when using the
accessory to install screen or wire. Failure to keep fingers
out of the way can result in serious personal injury.
DRIVING A STAPLE
See Figure 5, page 9.
 Hold the handle firmly with the nose of the tool flat against
the workpiece at a 90° angle.
 Press the activation foot of the stapler down against the
workpiece. The activation foot must be depressed before
pulling the switch trigger.
 The tool will drive another staple each time the trigger is
depressed as long as the activation foot is depressed.
WIRE AND SCREEN ACCESSORY
See Figures 6 - 7, page 9.
The wire and screen accessory included with the stapler
is useful for attaching screen or wire to a wood frame or
workpiece. One accessory edge is used for fencing wire,
while the other edge is for attaching screen.
Drive a test staple in a scrap piece of the same material you
will be using for your project to test for desired drive force.
When not in use, the accessory may be stored on the tool
in the "STORE" position.
