Anti Blank Firing Mechanism
The stapler is equipped with an anti blank fi ring
mechanism to prevent blank fi ring when the staples run
out.
The stapler will cease to operate when eight or fewer
staples remain.
Approximately eight staples will remain after fi ring a
strip of staples, but replenishing the magazine with the
same staples will enable stapling to be continued.
1. Stapling procedures
WARNING
○ Never point the discharge outlet at people.
○ Make sure that work is carried out with the discharge
outlet well away from faces, hands, feet and other parts
of the body.
○ Do not fi re staples directly onto existing staples.
○ Remove the battery when the stapler is not being used
and during work breaks.
○ When work has been completed, remove the battery,
and then remove the remaining staples.
○ When pulling the trigger, make sure that other fi ngers
are not touching the push lever.
Failure to observe this may result in injury.
NOTE
○ There are cases in which operations will become
sluggish if used at low ambient temperatures.
○ There are cases in which the staples will bend or cracks
will appear in the stapled material depending on the
hardness, thickness and combinations of the material.
Test the stapling operability before commencing full
use.
(1) Locking the trigger and removing the battery
Remove the battery from the stapler to prevent
unexpected operations. (Fig. 2)
(2) Loading staples
Load staples of a size appropriate for the job in hand
into the magazine. (Fig. 6)
(3) Attaching the battery
Place the battery onto the stapler and press on it until it
clicks into place.
(4) Releasing the lever lock
Slide the lock lever until the lock has been released.
(Fig. 4)
(5) Firing staples
Adjust the depth of the staples with the adjuster.
(Fig. 9)
(6) Finishing work
When work has been fi nished, lock the trigger and
remove the battery, and then remove all of the staples
from the magazine.
2. How to adjust the stapling depth (Fig. 9)
WARNING
When adjusting staple depth, aim the discharge outlet
downwards and check that it is not pointing at faces,
hands, feet or other parts of the body fi rst of all, and
then lock the trigger.
Fire a test staple, and if it is too deep adjust the depth
by rotating the adjuster to drive it shallower.
If the staple is not driven in deep enough, rotate the
adjuster to drive it deeper.
The adjuster rotation modifi es the depth by up to 2 mm.
3. Using the hook
The hook is used to hang up the power tool to your
waist belt while working.
CAUTION
○ When using the hook, hang up the power tool fi rmly not
to drop accidentally.
If the power tool is dropped, it may lead to an accident.
○ Make sure the trigger has been locked and the battery
removed when using the hook.
○ Install securely the hook. Unless the hook is securely
installed, it may cause an injury while using.
(1) Removing the hook.
Remove the screws fi xing the hook with Philips screw
driver. (Fig. 10)
(2) Replacing the hook and tightening the screws.
Install securely the hook in the groove of power tool and
tighten the screws to fi x the hook fi rmly. (Fig. 11)

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING
Make sure the trigger has been locked and the
battery removed before carrying out inspections and
maintenance. Also make sure that the recharger has
been unplugged.
1. Removing Staple Jams (Fig. 12)
(1) Remove the battery from the power tool.
(2) Press the stop lever, slide open the magazine and
remove all staples.
(3) Remove adhesive of staples, fragments and splinters
that have collected in the blade guide with a fl athead
screwdriver or similar implement.
(4) Check to ascertain that the push lever works smoothly.
NOTE
After removing staple jams, reload the staples and fi re
a test staple.
2. Magazine Inspections
The inside of the magazine needs to be cleaned from
time to time. Slide the magazine open and remove
adhesive of staples, fragments and splinters that have
collected.
NOTE
Dirt inside the magazine may result in the operations of
the staple feeder becoming sluggish, which may cause
blank fi ring.
3. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so
may result in serious hazard.
4. Cleaning of the outside
When the power tool is stained, wipe with a soft dry
cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use
chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, as they melt
plastics.
5. Storage
Store the power tool in a place in which the temperature
is less than 40°C, and out of reach of children.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to fi ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries
dead and purchase new batteries.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
