performance.
(7) Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may aff ect the Stapler's operation.

Because of high air pressure in the Stapler, cracks
in the surface are dangerous. To avoid this, do not
drop the Stapler or strike the Stapler against hard
surfaces; and do not scratch or engrave signs on
the Stapler. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained Staplers. There is a risk of bursting if the
Stapler is damaged.
