Senco SLS20XP / SLS25XP - Medium Wire Staplers Manual

EMPLOYER'S RESPONSIBILITIES

Employer must enforce compliance with the safety warnings and all other instructions which accompany this tool as shipped from the manufacturer.
Keep this manual available for use by all people assigned to the use of this tool.
For personal safety and proper operation of this tool, read and understand all of these instructions carefully.

• Drive fasteners into work surface only; never into materials too hard to penetrate.
  
• Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at too steep of an angle; the fasteners can ricochet and hurt someone.
  
• When using tool, care should be taken due to possibility of tool recoil after a fastener is driven. If workpiece contact (safety element) is unintentionally allowed to re-contact work surface following a recoil, an unwanted fastener will be driven. Therefore, allow tool to recoil completely off work surface after a fastener is driven to avoid this condition. Do not push workpiece contact (safety element) on work surface until a second fastener is desired.
  
• Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work surface. The workpiece is likely to split and the fastener could fly free or ricochet and hit someone.
  
• Never use any part of the tool (e.g., the cap or mainbody ) as a hammer. The tool may activate or become damaged and result in an unsafe condition.
  
• Keep hands and other body parts away from the area shown in the circle to avoid possible injury during operation.
  
• Tool may eject a fastener when connected to air supply; therefore,
  
  1. remove all fasteners from tool before
  2. connecting air.

• Never use tool if workpiece contact (safety element), trigger or springs have become inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not tamper with or remove workpiece contact (safety element), trigger, or springs.
  
• Disconnect tool from air before doing tool maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.
  
• Make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened at all times. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger and workpiece contact (safety element). Never use the tool if parts are missing or damaged.
  
• Store idle tools out of reach of minors and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
  
• Use only parts, fasteners, and accessories recommended or sold by SENCO. Do not modify tool without authorization from SENCO.
  
• Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at recommended pressure.
  
• Do not connect tools to air pressure that potentially exceeds 200 psig or 13.7 bar.
  

• Air compressors used to supply compressed air to this tool must comply with requirement ANSI/ ASME B 19.1–1995 (U.S.), "Safety Standard For Air Compressor Systems."
  
• Air hose must have a minimum working pressure rating of 150 psig (10.3 bar) or 150% of the maximum pressure produced in the system, whichever is higher.
  
• The tool and air supply hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is removed from the tool when the coupling joint is disconnected.
  
• Do not load fasteners with trigger or workpiece contact (safety element) depressed.
  
• Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair.
  
• Do not use tool without danger label on tool. If label is missing, damaged or unreadable, contact your SENCO representative to obtain a new label.
  
• Always place yourself in a firmly balanced position when using or handling the tool.
  
• For information on the "SENCO Safety First Program," contact your SENCO representative.
  

• Read section titled "Safety Warnings," before using tool.
  

To load:

• Pull feeder shoe back into "locked" position.
  
• Lay strip of staples onto rail. Do not load with workpiece contact (safety element) or trigger depressed.
  
• Depress feeder shoe lock button and allow to slide forward.
  
• With a Contact-Actuation ("Dual-Action") trigger, nails can be driven two ways:
  1. The first way:
     
     1. Press the workpiece contact (safety element) against the work surface.
     2. Pull the trigger and the fastener is driven.
  2. The second way:
     
     1. Pull trigger.
     2. Depress workpiece contact element against work surface and drive a fastener. Each time you push the workpiece contact (safety element) against the work surface, a fastener is driven.
     • This mode of operation is preferred when you desire high production, rapid fastener placement.

TOOL USE

• With a Sequential Actuation (Restrictive) trigger, fasteners can only be driven one way:
  
  1. Press the workpiece contact (safety element) against the work surface.
  2. Pull the trigger.
• This mode of operation is helpful when you require precise fastener placement.

Read the "Customer satisfaction and safety Reminder" (CssR) in the tool and fastener boxes for safety information regarding the Contactactuation and sequential trigger modes. under certain conditions, the sequential trigger mode may reduce the possibility of injury to you or to others working with you.

• This tool is equipped with a depth control workpiece contact (safety element). To adjust the depth of the staple being driven, loosen the screw and slide the lower workpiece contact up or down and lock in place by tightening the screw. Be sure the workpiece contact moves freely after adjustment.
  

Should a staple jam occur:

• Disconnect air supply.
  

1. Pull feeder shoe back into "locked" position.
2. Remove staples.

• Release E-Z Clear latch and open door.
  Remove jammed fastener. Close door and latch.
  

1. Connect air supply.
2. Replace fasteners.
3. Depress feeder shoe lock button and allow to slide forward.

MAINTENANCE

• Repairs other than those described here should be performed only by trained, qualified personnel. Contact SENCO for information at: 1-800-543-4596.
• Read section titled "Safety Warnings" before maintaining tool.
• All screws should be kept tight. Loose screws result in unsafe operation and parts breakage.
  
• With tool disconnected, make daily inspection to assure free movement of workpiece contact (safety element) and trigger. Do not use tool if workpiece contact (safety element) or trigger sticks or binds.
  
• Routine lubrication is not necessary. Do not oil.
  
• Wipe tool clean daily and inspect for wear. Use non-flammable cleaning solutions only if necessary.
  
• DO NOt sOaK.
• 
  Such solutions may damage O–rings and other tool parts.
