It will not set the staple until you waste a dozen or so to "warm up" the gun. I am a bit concerned about the operation at start-up. It takes a dozen or so staples to get it to working correctly.
Not a single glitch in that many firings. Not wanting to hand hammer 4 to 5 thousand staples, I bought a Hitachi N5008AC Stapler. It was superb. I'm a redwood/cedar fencing contractor. I highly recommend this stapler. Several years ago I switched to Hitachi framers and (15 gauge) finish nailers and have never had a single breakdown - and they're used day in and day out. I've tried many brands of nail guns - Senco, Porter Cable and others, only to have them go belly up and face a repair bill which is greater than the cost of the original gun. Recently I contacted to build a 300+ foot wire fence.
I have also used this tool for Sheetrock strapping using 2" staples, but primarily cedar shingle siding. I turn my compressor down or up according to application anyway. If you are using kiln dried white cedar shingles you don't want to be hitting them with 110 psi even if the depth is set, get me. A very solid staple gun. A great multipurpose and light gun. Depth adjustment is decent. So far I have shot almost 10,100 staples through it without a jam. haven't used that to much so far.
I have two of these and they work great, hitachi makes superior air nailers and this is no exception.
highly recommended. this gun has worked perfectly for years, so i bought another one.adjustable depth is very nice and the lightweight makes all day shooting easier.
