SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Keep out of reach of children. Tool not suitable for use by children under 16 years of age. Wear safety glasses when operating the tacker. Know what materials you are stapling. Watch out for potential hazards such as electrical wires. Do not overreach to cause loss of balance or loss of secure footing

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

1. Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

1. Double-insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
3. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension marked “W-A” or “W.” These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tools while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contains long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust masks, non-skid shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

1. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force tools. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
3. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the operation of the tool. If damaged, please discard all serviceable parts and replace tool.
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

Service

1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow the instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury. Instructions

Additional Specific Safety Rule

1. Hold the tool by insulating gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE/REASSEMBLE THIS TOOL. REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THE TOOL HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONAL DURABILITY IN NORMAL APPLICATIONS WITHOUT THE NEED TO REPLACE PARTS.

HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC STAPLER/NAILER

TO LOAD STAPLES

• Unplug tool (1), Place the on/off switch in the “off’ position (2).
• Select the proper staple length.
• Use only staples identified by stock numbers on the next page.
• Substitute staples may cause jamming.
• Hold the tool upside down. Rotate the latch and pull. (3).
• Drop staples in the channel, legs facing upward.
• Push latch back in to lock in place, (4).

TO LOAD BRADS

• Unplug the tool, (1) (place the on/off switch in the “off” position, (2).)
• Use only brads identified by the stock numbers above.

• Look for the image of a brad nail on the front side of the tool (5).
• Load brads into this side only.
• Hold the tool upside down. Rotate the latch and pull. (3).
• Drop brads into the channel, and tilt the tool so the brads lay against the channel wall, (5). Push the latch back in watching that the brad strip does not fall over.
• Use High/Low power when driving brads.

TO STAPLE OR NAIL
Make sure the on/off switch is in the “off” position, and plug the stapling tacker in.
Turn the tool on by switching to position I which is the “on” position and hold it firmly against the work surface to engage the safety mechanism. Apply adequate pressure on the top of the knob (fig 6.) while the trigger is pulled.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your Stanley Electric Stapler/Nailer operates on 230 volts, 50 Hertz alternating current The outlet should be rated for 5 Amps.

TRIGGER OPERATION
The trigger is located on the bottom of the handle. Each pull of the trigger will result in one complete cycle; that is the drive and return stroke are completed before it is possible to release the trigger. Make sure your finger is not on the trigger when connecting the tool to the power supply. A staple/brad cannot be fired unless the stapling tacker is pressed against a work surface. This engages a contact fire safety switch which is located on the bottom of the stapler

TO CLEAR A JAMMED STAPLE/BRAD NAIL
This tool should not jam if kept clean and the correct Stanley staples/brad nails are used. If a jam should occur, unplug the tool and unload any remaining staples/brad nails. Reload with new staples/brad nails.

FEATURES

• Double Insulation: This eliminates the need for a three-wire grounded power cord yet offers equal protection to a grounded tool. Plug your stapling tacker into any 230 volt AC outlet.
• HI-LO Power: Your Stanley Electric Stapler/Nailer has two power settings. Use the HI setting to drive staples/brad nails into hard materials or use the LO setting to drive staples/brads into thin or soft materials without going all the way through them.
• 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 1/8th inch of such surfaces.
• Easy Loading: The sliding base allows for easy loading and unloading of staples/brad nails by simply rotating 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
