OPERATION
CHARGING 4.8V NI-MH BATTERY
A battery that is new or has not been used for a long period
of time will not develop its full charge capacity until after 5 to
6 hours of charging. It is not recommended to recharge the
battery after use if you do not intend on using the tool for an
extended period of time, recharge the battery when it is
required. Regular charge time is 3 hours.
The battery comes installed in the tool housing, remove the
battery (B) Fig.1 from the tool housing by pressing both
battery tabs (A) and then pulling battery out.
To charge battery, connect the power adaptor (A) Fig.2 to the
input on the back of the charger (B), then connect the power
adaptor (C) to a polarized 120V receptacle as shown. Before
inserting battery into charger, make sure the green indicator
light (D) is on. Then insert the battery into the charger.
Charging has begun once the red indicator light (D) is on.
Charging is complete once the green indicator light turns on.
Once the battery is fully charged, reinsert the battery into the
tool housing and push until the locking tabs snap in place.
The battery will only fit one way in the tool housing. A
significantly reduced working period after charging indicates
that the battery is used and will need to be replaced.

OPERATION
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT- FORCE SELECTOR KNOB
This cordless stapler comes with an adjustable force
selector knob (A) Fig.5 which sets the driving force of the
tool. The driving force required will depend on the type of
staples or brad nails used and the density of the workpiece.
It is recommended to make trial tests in scrap pieces of
wood before driving fasteners in workpiece.
The force selector knob has 6 settings, setting 1 being the
setting with the least amount of force and setting 6 being the
setting with the highest amount of force. Simply turn the
knob to the desired setting. Make sure the knob setting lines up with the front index mark (B). Fig.5
shows the force selector positioned in setting 1.
Once the work is done, it is recommended to set the force
selector knob at setting 1 in order to relieve the spring
tension.
