To avoid injury and misuse, please read the instruction manual before operation.
Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
To avoid loss of hearing, always wear ear protection when operating the tool.
Always wear safety glasses when operating the tool.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Modifying plug and failure to use proper increases risk of electrical shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Keep the charger cord intact. Do not abuse the charger cord. Never use the charger cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool from electric outlet. Keep charger cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection with side shields and ear protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce chance
of personal injury.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to the power source and/or battery charger, picking up, or carrying the tool. Do not power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on because such action invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, accessories or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, accessories, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Ensure the power switch is in the off position and disconnected from the charger power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children, and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Accidents may be caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

Recharge the power tool only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of power tool may create a risk of fire when used with another power tool.
Under abusive conditions and extreme temperatures, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not store tools in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 104°F (40°C). Extended periods of extreme heat may cause damage to the battery and possible fire.
Do not dispose of the tool by incineration. The batteries may explode in fire.

MAINTENANCE

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
Careless handling of the tool can result in unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury.
Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby.
Unexpected triggering will discharge the fastener and can cause an injury.
Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece.
If the tool is not in contact with the workpiece, the fastener may be deflected away from your target.
Ensure the power switch is in the off position and keep the tool disconnected from the power source when the fastener jams in the tool.
While removing a jammed fastener, the tool may be accidentally activated if it is charged and in the on position or plugged in and connected to its charger.
Use caution while removing a jammed fastener.
Point the tool away from self or others. The mechanism may be under compression and the fastener may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free a jammed condition.
Do not use this tool for fastening electrical cables.
It is not designed for electric cable installation and may damage the insulation of electric cables, thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
Know your power tool. Read the operator’s manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses have only impact-resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Do not abuse the charger cord. Never carry tool by charger cord. Never yank cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the charger cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges, and moving parts.
Do not attempt to alter the tool. Your T50DCD™ has a tested cycling time. It is designed to perform adequately at this rate. Any unauthorized alteration and/or use could result in a hazardous condition causing possible serious personal injury. Unauthorized parts and/or tool modifications automatically void the warranty.
Use only ARROW® replacement parts.
Use a proper charging device. While charging, the tool should always be supplied via a residual current device with a rated residual current of 20 mA or less.

POWER TOOL OPERATION

ASSEMBLY

Make sure you have read all safety instructions.
This tool comes completely assembled. There is no assembly required.

LOADING STAPLES

Make sure the tool is powered off.
The T50DCD™ has a bottom-load staple magazine. Turn the tool upside down and squeeze the pusher assembly (Fig 1).
Pull the pusher assembly out until it stops to reveal the staple magazine (Fig 2).
STAPLES: Place staples into the magazine with the points facing up and out of the tool (Fig 3a). Never attempt to completely remove the pusher assembly as this may damage the tool and void the warranty. Close the pusher assembly until it snaps into place.

On very hard surfaces, firing recoil may interfere with nail/staple penetration. Enhance driving power by firmly placing one hand on top of cap.

FIRING YOUR TOOL

To fire your tool, place down on your workpiece depressing the contact safety on the front of the tool. Once the contact safety is depressed, push the trigger to fire your staple. You must pick up the front of the tool and reactivate the contact safety for each shot. The tool will operate in low temperatures down to 32°F (0°C) and in higher temperatures up to 104°F (40°C).

HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER STAPLE LEG SIZE

In choosing the proper staple leg length for a job, there are two basic things to consider:

Thickness of material to be stapled.
The hardness of the wood.

As a general rule, in hardwood, approximately 3/16” to 1/4”penetration into the wood is sufficient…and for softwood, up to approximately 3/8” should be sufficient. The staple should be flush with the underlying surface, as shown in Figure 4b. However, if the staple used is not flush with the underlying surface, as shown in Figure 4a – this means that too long a leg length has been used. In that case, we recommend the next shorter leg length for desired results.

A WORD ABOUT ARROW® STAPLES

Only Arrow® knows the proper staple tolerances required for best performance of the T50DCD™ Electric Stapler. Only Arrow® T50® staples are made to these exact tolerances to ensure top fastening performance. Accept no substitutes. Always insist on Arrow® staples.

ABOUT YOUR BATTERY AND CHARGING THE TOOL
