Use Of Extension Cords; Length Of Brad Strip - Stanley TRE550 Owner's Manual

Flush Stapling/Nailing: This stapling tacker will fit flush against perpendicular
surfaces-such as the junction of a wall and the ceiling. The angled drive coil allows
stapling/nailing within 1/8" of such surfaces.
Easy Loading: The sliding base allows for easy loading and unloading of staples/brad
nails by simply squeezing the latch and pulling.
On/Off Switch: Allows the tool to be easily shut off when not in use.
Contact-Fire Safety Switch: A staple/brad nail cannot be fired unless the stapling
tacker is pressed against a work surface.

Length of Brad Strip

The tool uses brads that are 4-1/2" long. We recommend breaking them in half before
loading into the tool.
Maintenance
Do not lubricate: Your stapling tacker is designed to operate efficiently without oil or
grease.
Cleaning: Use clean cloth to remove dirt. Do not use solvents as they can damage
plastic parts. DO NOT ALTER, ATTACH SPECIAL FIXTURING OR RE-DESIGN
PARTS ON THIS TOOL.

Use of Extension Cords

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and name
plate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number (AWG), the heavier the cord.
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so
marked.
