Employer’s Responsibility

Employer must enforce compliance with the safety warnings and all other instructions which accompany this tool as shipped from the manufacturer. Keep this manual available for use by all people assigned to the use of this tool. For personal safety and proper operation of this tool, read and understand all of these instructions carefully.

Safety Warnings

Warning!

Read and understand tool labels and manual. Failure to follow warnings could result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.
Save these Instructions
Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses with permanently attached side shields. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury

Explosion Hazard

Never use tool in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence of combustible materials such as flammable liquids, gases or dust.

Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or any other bottled gas as a power source for this tool; the tool will explode and cause serious injury.

Always remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with finger on or under trigger. Tool will eject a fastener if the workpiece contact (safety element) is bumped.

Always assume the tool contains fasteners. No horseplay. Respect the tool as a working implement.
Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others and connect air to tool.
Tools shall be operated at the lowest pressure needed for the application. This will reduce noise levels, part wear, and energy use.

Drive fasteners into work surface only; never into materials too hard to penetrate.

Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at too steep of an angle; the fasteners can ricochet and hurt someone.

When using tool, care should be taken due to possibility of tool recoil after a fastener is driven. If workpiece contact (safety element) is unintentionally allowed to re-contact work surface following a recoil, an unwanted fastener will be driven. Therefore, allow tool to recoil completely off work surface after a fastener is driven to avoid this condition. Do not push workpiece contact (safety element) on work surface until a second fastener is desired.

Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work surface. The workpiece is likely to split and the fastener could fly free or ricochet and hit someone.

Never use any part of the tool (i.e., the cap or main body ) as a hammer. The tool may activate or become damaged and result in an unsafe condition.

Keep hands and other body parts away from the area shown in the circle to avoid possible injury during operation.

Tool may eject a fastener when connected to air supply; therefore, (1) remove all fasteners from tool before (2) connecting air.

Never use tool if workpiece contact (safety element), trigger or springs have become inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not tamper with or remove workpiece contact (safety element), trigger, or springs.

Disconnect tool from air before doing tool maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.

Make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened at all times. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger and workpiece contact (safety element). Never use the tool if parts are missing or damaged.

Store idle tools out of reach of minors and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Use only parts, fasteners, and accessories recommended or sold by SENCO. Do not modify tool without authorization from SENCO.

Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at recommended pressure.

Do not connect tools to air pressure that potentially exceeds 200 Spig or 13.7 bar.

Air compressors used to supply compressed air to this tool must comply with requirement ANSI/ ASME B 19.11995 (U.S.), “Safety Standard For Air Compressor Systems.”

Air hose must have a minimum working pressure rating of 150 sprig (10.3 bar) or 150% of the maximum pressure produced in the system, whichever is higher.

The tool and air supply hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is removed from the tool when the coupling joint is disconnected.

Do not load fasteners with trigger or workpiece contact (safety element) depressed.

Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair.

Do not use tool without danger label on tool. If label is missing, damaged or unreadable, contact your SENCO representative to obtain a new lab

Always place yourself in a firmly balanced position when using or handling the tool.

For information on the “SENCO Safety First Program,” contact your SENCO representative.

Read section titled “Safety Warnings,” before using tool.

To load:

Pull feeder shoe back into “locked” position.

Lay strip of staples onto rail. Do not load with workpiece contact (safety element) or trigger depressed.

Depress feeder shoe lock button and allow to slide forward.
With a Contact-Actuation (“Dual-Action”) trigger, nails can be driven two ways:

A The first way:
(1) Position the workpiece contact (safety element) against work surface.
(2) Pull the trigger.

B The second way:
(1) Pull the trigger.
(2) Push the workpiece contact (safety element) against

Each time you push the workpiece contact (safety element) against the work surface, a fastener is driven.
This mode of operation is preferred when you desire high production, rapid fastener placement.

Tool Use

With a Sequential Actuation (Restrictive) trigger, fasteners can only be driven one way.
(1) Position the workpiece contact (safety element) against work surface.
(2) Pull the trigger.
This mode of operation is helpful when you require precise fastener placement.

Read the “Customer Satisfaction and Safety Reminder” (CSSR) in the tool and fastener boxes for safety information regarding the Contact Actuation and Sequential trigger modes. Under certain conditions, the Sequential trigger mode may reduce the possibility of injury to you or to others working with you.

This tool is equipped with a depth control workpiece contact (safety element). To adjust the depth of the staple being driven, loosen the screw and slide the lower workpiece contact (safety element) up or down and lock in place by tightening the screw. Be sure the workpiece contact moves freely after adjustment. A malfunctioning workpiece contact (safety element) can cause a fastener to be discharged accidentally.

Should a staple jam occur:

Disconnect air supply.

(1) Pull feeder shoe back into “locked” position.
(2) Remove staples.

Release E-Z Clear latch and open door.

Remove jammed fastener. Close door and latch.

Connect air supply and replace fasteners. Depress feeder shoe lock button and allow to slide forward.

Maintenance

Repairs other than those described here should be performed only by trained, qualified personnel. Contact SENCO for information at: 1-800-543-4596
Read section titled “Safety Warnings” before maintaining tool.

All screws should be kept tight. Loose screws result in unsafe operation and parts breakage.

With tool disconnected, make daily inspection to assure free movement of workpiece contact (safety element) and trigger. Do not use tool if workpiece contact (safety element) or trigger sticks or binds.

Squirt Semco pneumatic oil (5 to10 drops) into the air inlet twice daily (depending on frequency of tool use). Other oils may damage O-rings and other tool parts.

Wipe tool clean daily and inspect for wear. Use non-flammable cleaning solutions only if necessary.
DO NOT SOAK.
Caution: Such solutions may damage O–rings and other tool parts.
