Warning

The vibration and noise emission levels may vary from the level specified during actual use, depending on the way in which the power tool is used, especially the type of workpiece it is used for

Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

• Only use appliances that are in perfect working order.
• Service and clean the appliance regularly.
• Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
• Do not overload the appliance.
• Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
• Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.

Caution!

Residual risks Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain residual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:

1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
3. Health damage is caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.

Danger!

The electric power tool generates an electromagnetic fi eld during operation. Under certain circumstances, this field may actively or passively impede medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their doctor and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to using the equipment.

Before using the equipment

Warning!

• c) guiding on templates made of hard material, e.g. steel,
• d) pushing across the fl oor,
• e) using as a hammer,
• f) any kinds of acts of violence.

Checking the trigger catch (Fig. 1)

Warning!

Remove the battery. Check the trigger catch (6) each time before use. The trigger catch must move freely without jamming. The spring on the stapler head and trigger catch must return the trigger catch to the released initial position again. Never use the equipment if the trigger catch is not working.

1. Remove the battery from the tool.
2. Remove the staples from the magazine (Fig. 3/Item 4).
3. Check that the trigger catch (6) can move up and down freely.
4. Reinsert the battery in the tool.
5. Press the stapler head/trigger catch (6) against the workpiece without pressing the trigger (1). The tool is not allowed to operate. Never use the tool if it operates without the trigger (1) being pressed. Risk of injury!
6. Remove the tool from the workpiece. The trigger catch (6) must return to its released starting position. Press the trigger (1). The tool is not allowed to operate. Do not use the tool if it operates. Risk of injury!
7. Press the stapler head and trigger catch (6) against the workpiece and press the trigger

Loading staples (Fig. 2-4/Item 4)

Warning! Remove the battery.

• When you fill the magazine (4), make sure that you hold the equipment in such a way that the muzzle is pointed neither at yourself nor at anyone else. • To fill the magazine, press the magazine release

1. the tool will operate.
2. and slide back the magazine cover
3. as far as it will go (see Fig. 3).
   • Staples: Insert the staples (a) into the magazine (4) from below as shown in Fig. 4.

Important!

It must be possible to move the magazine slide without applying much force. Watch out for jammed staples!

Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 5-6)

1. Remove the battery pack (a) from the handle, pressing the pushlock button (b) downwards to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (c) into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to blink.
3. Push the battery pack onto the battery charger.

In section 10 (Charger indicator) you will find a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger. If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the following:

• voltage at the power socket
• whether there is good contact at the charging contacts of the charging unit If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
• the charger
• and the battery pack to our customer service centre.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased. When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res. To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 7)

Press the button for the battery capacity indicator (d). The battery capacity indicator (e) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.

All 3 LEDs are lit:

The battery is fully charged.

2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:

The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

LED fl ashes:

The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

All LEDs blink:

The battery temperature is too high. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

Operation

Operation (Fig. 2)

Each time before starting to work, use the fi lling level indicator (5) to check if the magazine contains any staples and make sure that the magazine cover (3) is properly closed.

Important!

Determine the required and optimum depth of penetration of the staples by fi rst using a test workpiece which is similar in structure and material thickness to the workpieces you want to join.

Triggering shots (Fig. 1)

The built-in trigger catches prevent the cordless stapler from being triggered accidentally. As the result a shot can be triggered only when you press the stapler head (6) of the cordless stapler against the material and actuate the trigger (1). Single shot Set the selector switch for single shot / repeat shot (11) to single shot. Place the stapler head (6) of the cordless stapler against the workpiece ready for stapling. Pull the trigger (1) once and let it go again after each shot. Repeat shot Set the selector switch for single shot / repeat shot (11) to repeat shot. Pull and hold the trigger (1). Each time you now place the trigger catch (6) against the workpiece the cordless stapler will shoot repeatedly until you release the trigger (1). If the staple goes in too far or if it does not go in far enough you can adjust the depth of penetration with the depth adjuster (Fig. 1/Item 9) (see section 6.4).

Important!

To prevent the cordless stapler from overheating, you must take a break of 20 minutes after approx. 500 shots in repeat mode.

Jammed staples (Fig. 10-11)

If a staple becomes jammed in the tool, proceed as follows:

• Remove the battery from the tool.
• Open the magazine cover (3).
• Undo the four screws for the cover plate (7) as shown in Fig. 10.
• Remove the cover plate (7).
• Remove the jammed staples.
• Refit the cover plate. Take care to fit in the right direction and order.
• Screw the cover plate (7) securely back in place.

Adjusting the depth (Fig. 9)

The tool has a depth adjuster (Fig. 9 / Item 9) in the form of a rotary knob. If you screw it in the direction (+), the staples will be shot in deeper. If you want to reduce the depth that the staples are shot in, you have to screw the rotary knob in the direction (-).

Important!

Use some test pieces.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!

Always pull out the battery pack before starting any cleaning work.

Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
