the magazine.
4. With battery removed, check the nosepiece to verify there
are no staples remaining.
nOTE: The tool is equipped with a magnet in the nose area
for improved tool performance. When unloading, always
verify that the small sticks of staples are not held to the
magnetized nosepiece.
Speed Setting Summary (Fig. A, G, H)
This stapler is equipped with a tool free speed select switch 
to adjust the tool for different applications.
In the event staples are not driving to depth in power setting 1,
you may have to switch to power 2 or 3 for additional
driving power.
NOTICE: Driving staples into soft materials at high
speed settings will cause excessive wear to your tool
and may result in early failures.

to Fig. H. Staple retention values improve when the tool is
fired perpendicular to the material.
The tool can be fired/actuated by pulling the trigger 
of two modes: sequential mode or RapidCycle mode. Refer
to Selecting the Mode for detailed instructions for firing in
each mode.
Adjusting Depth (Fig. I)
The depth that the staple is driven can be adjusted using the

tool free depth adjust  
on the nose of the tool.

WARNING: To reduce risk of serious injury from
accidental actuation when attempting to adjust
depth, ALWAYS:
Remove battery pack
Engage trigger lock-off.
Always point the nose of the stapler away from you.
Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments.

restored after driving a staple to allow fast consecutive stapling.
While offering the ability to drive more staples in less time, this
mode quickly depletes the battery charge.
