OPERATION
DRY-FIRE LOCKOUT
When the magazine is almost empty of staples, the dry-fire
lockout feature will not allow continued operation.
To resume operation, reload the tool with staples.
SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE
The amount of air pressure required will depend on the size
of the staple and the workpiece material.
Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test staple into
the same type of workpiece material used for the actual
job.
Drive a test staple with the air pressure set at 90-95 psi.
Raise or lower the air pressure to find the lowest setting that
will perform the job with consistent results.
It may be possible to achieve the desired depth with air
pressure adjustments alone. If finer adjustments are needed,
use the drive depth adjustment on the tool.
DRIVE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 8.
The driving depth of the staple may be adjusted. It is advis-
able to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine
the required depth for the application.
To determine depth of drive, first adjust the air pressure and
drive a test staple. To achieve the desired depth, use the
drive depth adjustment on the tool.
n Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
n Turn the depth selector left or right to change the driving
depth.
n Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
n Drive a test staple after each adjustment until the desired
depth is set.
REMOVING STAPLES FROM THE TOOL
See Figure 9.
n Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
removing staples. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
n While holding the tool upside down, depress the latch
located at the rear of the magazine and slide the magazine
open.
n Rotate the tool to the normal operating position, allowing
the staple strip to drop out of the magazine.
