WARNING: Always wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1
(CAN/CSA Z94.3)] and ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing
protection when operatingtool.
The
DeWALT
cordless staplers are assembled in accordance
with the ANSI Standard SNT-101-2002.
The finish stapler is capable of firing staples using bump
actuation or sequential actuation. If you would like to
have the bump actuation mode disabled, have the tool
serviced by an authorized
DeWALT
service center. Before
operating this tool, look at the selector switch to determine
the actuation mode. Read all instructions before selecting
actuationmode.

WARNING: Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not
driving staples to avoid accidental fastener discharge.
NEVER carry tool with finger on trigger. In bump
mode tool will drive a staple if contact trip is bumped
while trigger isdepressed.
Sequential Actuation (Fig. G)
Use sequential actuation mode for intermittent stapling
where very careful and accurate placement and depth
control is desired. The sequential actuation mode
provides the maximum delivery of power for driving the
longeststaples.
To operate the stapler in sequential actuation mode:
1. Slide the selector switch
7
to expose the singlestaple
icon
.
2. Fully depress nosepiece against the work surface (motor
will start).
3. Pull trigger (staple will drive into work surface).
4. Releasetrigger.
5. Lift nosepiece off worksurface.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for nextapplication.
NOTICE: The contact trip needs to be depressed
followed by a trigger pull for each staple followed by
a release of both the contact trip and trigger after
eachstaple.

Bump Action (Fig. G)
Bump action is intended for rapid stapling on flat, stationary
surfaces and typically most effective for applications that
require driving shorterstaples.
When the tool is set in the bump actuation mode, two
methods of tool operation are available: place actuation and
bumpactuation.
Slide the selector switch
7
to expose the triplestaple

.
To operate the tool using the place actuation
method:

WARNING: A staple will be driven each time the
trigger is depressed as long as the contact trip
remainsdepressed.
1. Depress the contact trip against the worksurface.
