THE STAPLER MUST OPERATE PROPERLY.
4. Checking push lever operations
WARNING
Make sure the trigger is locked when not firing staples.
Always make sure the trigger is locked and the battery
removed from the power tool when checking push lever
operations.
Check to make sure the push lever slides smoothly when
operated.
Clean the sliding area on the push lever if it doesn't slide
smoothly.
5. Loading staples
WARNING
When loading staples into Stapler,
1) remove battery from the stapler;
2) do not pull trigger;
3) do not depress push lever; and
4) keep stapler pointed downward.
(1)
Pull the staple feeder backward, and confirm that the
feeder stopper is securely lodged in the feeder stopper
hole on the staple feeder. (Fig. 10)
(2)
Place the staple strip over the magazine.
Make sure that the staple strip slides freely on the
magazine. (Fig. 11)
NOTE
Do not load more staples than the capacity of the
magazine. Failure of the fastener feeding may cause
jamming of fasteners.
(3)
Pull the staple feeder backward slightly, and press in
the feeder stopper. Push the staple feeder forward.
Gently set the staple feeder to the back of the loaded
staples. (Fig. 12)
The Stapler is now ready to operate.
CAUTION
If the staple feeder is released all of a sudden, it can
return abruptly, causing deformation and/or scatter,
eventually ending up in clogged staples.
Be absolutely sure to bring back the staple feeder,
avoiding any impact.
HOW TO USE THE STAPLER
WARNING
○ NEVER point tool at yourself or others in work area.
○ Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving
staples to avoid accidental firing.
○ Do not use the electrical cord if damaged. Have it
repaired immediately.
○ Choice of triggering method is important. Please read
and understand "1. S tapling procedures" found below.
○ Before starting work, check the stapling operation
switching device. This HiKOKI stapler includes a
stapling operation switching device.
Before starting work, make sure that the switching
device is properly set. If the switching device is not set
properly, the stapler will not operate correctly.
○ Never place your face, hands or feet near firing head
when using.
○ Do not drive staples on top of other staples or with
Stapler at too steep of an angle; staples can ricochet
and hurt someone.
○ Do not drive staples into thin boards or near corners
and edges of workpiece. Staples can be driven through
or away from workpiece and hit someone.
○ Never drive staples from both sides of a wall at the
same time. Staples can be driven into and through the
wall and hit a person on the opposite side.
○ Never use Stapler which is defective or operating
abnormally.
○ Do not use Stapler as hammer.
○ Remove all remaining fasteners and battery from
stapler when:
1) doing maintenance and inspection;
2) checking proper operation of push lever and trigger;
3) attaching or removing the nose cap;
4) cleaning a jam;
5) it is not in use;
6) leaving work area;
7) moving it to another location; and
8) handing it to another person.
○ Remove battery from Stapler when:
1) loading staples;
2) turning the adjuster.
This HiKOKI stapler is equipped with a stapler operation
switching device.
Use SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM or
CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM in accordance with
the work to be performed.
Explanation of the various stapling operations
○ SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM:
First, press the push lever against the wood; next, pull
the trigger to drive the staple.
After stapling once, stapling will not be possible again
until the trigger is released and pressed again.
○ CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM:
1) Pull the trigger.
2) Press the push lever against the wood to drive the
staple.
3) If the trigger is held back, a staple will be driven
each time the push lever is pressed against the
wood.
1. Stapling procedures
This Stapler is equipped with the push lever and does
not operate unless the push lever is depressed.
There are two methods of operation to drive staples
with this Stapler. They are:
1) Intermittent operation (Trigger fire):
2) Continuous operation (Push lever fire):
(1) Intermittent operation (Trigger fire) Use the SINGLE
SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM setting. (See
Fig. 13)
WARNING
○ For intermittent operation, Set the stapling operation
switch to SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION
MECHANISM (Stapling operation indicator is light in
blue.) (i.e. Set to SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM.)
○ To avoid double firing or accidental firing due to recoil.
1) Set to SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION
MECHANISM.
2) Pull the trigger rapidly and firmly.
A: Set the stapling operation switch to SINGLE
SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM (Stapling
operation indicator is light in blue.)
B: Position the staple outlet on the workpiece with finger
off the trigger.
C: Depress the push lever firmly until it is completely
depressed.
D: Pull the trigger to drive a staple.
E: Remove finger from the trigger and lift the tool off the
wood surface completely.
To continue stapling in a separate location, move the
stapler along the wood, repeating steps B–E as required.
NOTE
Operations C and D should be done within 4 seconds of
each other. If more than 4 seconds pass after C, the
Stapler will not work properly. If this happens, retry from
C.
