On/Off Safety Switch
This tool is equipped with an on/off safety switch (3), which prevents
the tool from firing a nail/staple by locking the trigger (1) when the
switch is positioned to off mode. When the switch is on, the trigger
will be activated. Always ensure the on/off safety switch is off before
making any adjustments or when tool is not in immediate use.
Loading the Tool with Nails/Staples
• Unplug the tool from the power source.
• Slide the pusher backwards from position B to position A by
releasing the catch.
• Tilt the tool and place nails/staples into the track of the magazine
channel with the points of the nails/staples facing downwards. Close
base while making sure nail/staple strip stays upright in channel.
• Push magazine shut until catch clicks.
• Plug the tool back into the power source.
NOTE:
We strongly recommend that you only use approved/genuine
Tacwise nails/staples as we have experienced many service issues
following the use of inferior fastenings.

Non-marking nose/tip protector
This tool is supplied with a removable rubber nose protector (8),
which prevents the tool from marking the surface of the work piece.
This tool is designed to be used both with and without the rubber
nose protector according to the application. For example to fasten into
tight corners use the tool without the nose, and for soft surfaces
which could be damaged and left visible add the rubber nose
protector. To remove the nose protector simply pull it off and store it
whenever it is not required. To order additional nose protectors,
please quote code: 1172. Make sure the on/off safety switch is off
before installing or removing the nose protector.
Instructions for use
Preparing the tool
• Remove all nails from the magazine (See "Unloading the Tool" for
instructions).
• Check that the nose safety/contact trip can move freely.
• Reload the nails/staples to the magazine.
• Do not use the tool if the nose safety/contact trip cannot move freely.
Nailing/Stapling
• Turn the tool on at the on/off switch.
• Hold tool firmly with tacking mouth against workpiece - the safety
pin in the mouth of the tool must be pressed firmly against the
workpiece or it will not operate.
• Squeeze trigger to fire the tool.
• On hard surfaces press down on top of tool with free hand.
• On soft surfaces use light pressure to prevent deep nail/staple
penetration, and use the nose piece (supplied) to prevent marking
the surface.

Removing a Jammed Nail/Staple from the Nosepiece
NOTE:
You must remove any jammed nail/staple before using the
tool any further. If you try to fire a nail/staple while the tool is
jammed, you could cause damage to the mechanism.
• Unplug the tool from the power source.
• Tilt the tool and remove any unused nails/staples in channel, this
should clear the jammed fastener.
• If this does not work release the nose gate.
