Specifications

EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protec-
tion against flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be
worn by the operator and others in the work area when loading, operating or ser-
vicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and
debris, which could cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye
protection equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National
Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1-1989 and provide both frontal and side protection.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide ade-
quate protection.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURIES:
• Never place a hand or any other part of the body in nail discharge area of tool
while the air supply is connected.
• Never point the tool at anyone else.
• Never engage in horseplay.
• Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed at the work.
• Always handle the tool with care.
• Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip mechanism while loading the tool.
LOADING THE T40
1. Move pusher to rear until latched.
2. Use stick of staples to move cover
spring to one side and drop over
core of magazine.
Repeat until magazine is loaded,
allowing enough space for pusher
to disengage from the latch.
3. Depress pusher latch pin with
thumb and allow pusher to slide
forward to engage staples. On
narrow crown models pull pusher
back out of notch and allow to
slide forward.
NOTE: Use only staples recommended by Bostitch for the T40 Series staplers which
meet Bostitch specifications.
Models T40S2, T40S4, T40S5, T40SL, and T40BSX contain a Quick Release Door feature. The
door is designed to “pop” open if a jam occurs providing easy access for removing a jammed
fastener.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT AIR SUPPLY BEFORE CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER.
If the door does not “pop” open when a jam occurs, it can easily be opened with a screwdriver, as
shown in illustration #1. Use a firm twist on the screwdriver to open the door, see illustration #2.
The door will not open completely if the driver is still down. To open the door completely the driver
must be pushed back into the tool.
The “Quick Release Door” makes cleaning the nose and front portion of the magazine a rapid and
easy operation with a minimum of effort.
To close the door simply press the door firmly against the edge of the work table or suitable
stationary object until the two latch pins snap into a locked position.
CAUTION:
Do not use your hands to close the door as injury may occur if skin is pinched
between the door and nose when the latch pins engage.
