Model W1778 18 Gauge Deep Stapler Kit
-3-
1. HAND INJURIES: Do not place
your hands near the staple point
of entry. A staple can deflect and
tear through the surface of the
workpiece, puncturing your hand or
fingers.
2. COMBUSTIBLE GASES: Never
connect the stapler to pressurized
oxygen or other combustible
gases as a power source. Only use
filtered, lubricated, and regulated
compressed air.
3. SAFE HANDLING: Never point the
stapler at others! Do not keep
the trigger pulled when loading
fasteners, carrying, or holding
tool. Carry the stapler only by the
handle, never by any other part.
Do not carry the stapler by the air
hose. Disconnect the stapler from
the air hose when going up and
down ladders.
4. CLEANING: Never use gasoline or
other flammable liquids to clean
the stapler; vapors in the stapler
will ignite by a spark and cause it
to explode.
Additional Safety Instructions for Staplers
5. HOSE USAGE: Make sure your air
hose is designed for the tool in
use, is in good condition, and is
long enough to reach your work
without stretching. However, an
overly long air hose in the work
area may be a tripping hazard.
6. OPERATING QUESTIONS: If you
are not sure about the intended
operation, stop using the stapler.
Seek formal training.
7. MAINTENANCE: Always disconnect
air from the stapler when servicing
or installing staples. During
maintenance, a stapler connected
to air may fire accidentally,
causing serious personal injury.
8. COMPRESSED AIR RATING: Do not
connect the stapler to compressed
air that exceeds 120 PSI.
9. CHECK VALVE: Do not use a check
valve or any other fitting that
allows air to remain in the tool.
10. MODIFICATION: Do not modify
this tool or bypass the safety nose
mechanism.
Never point this stapler at yourself
or another person! Always pay
attention to the direction this stapler
is pointed. Use this tool with respect
and caution to lessen the possibility
of operator or bystander injury.
Ignoring this warning may result in
serious personal injury.
Stapler accidents routinely happen
while moving the gun to another
location, such as up ladders, to
another room, or even another job
site. Always disconnect the gun
immediately after use and never
transport the gun while connected to
the air—even if the air compressor is
disconnected from its power source!
