SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Read and understand this manual and all the safety instructions before operating this stapler. If you have any questions, please contact our authorized service centres or retailers for help.

• Never allow the use of flammable gases as a power source for the stapler. Use filtered, lubricated and regulated compressed air only.

• Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to clean this stapler. Vapors in the stapler will ignite by a spark and cause the stapler to explode.

• Do not exceed the maximum permissible operating pressure of this stapler (120 PSIG).

• Disconnect the stapler from its air supply before clearing jams, servicing, adjusting and while the stapler is not in use.

• Do not keep the trigger pulled on contact safety trip mechanism when carrying or holding the stapler. Never carry the stapler by the air hose or pull on the air hose to move the stapler.

• At the workplace, always wear protective equipment such as Z87 safety glasses, hearing and head protection.

• Do not use a check valve or any other fitting which allows air to remain in the stapler.

• Do not place your hand or any part of your body in the staple discharge area of the stapler when connecting or disconnecting from the air supply.

• Never point any operational staple driving tool at yourself or at any other person.

LUBRICATION

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

• Your stapler needs to be lubicated before and after the first time you use it.

• Disconnect the air supply from the stapler before lubricating.

• Turn the stapler so that the inlet is facing up and put ONE DROP of high speed spindle oil or oil without detergent into the air inlet. Never use detergent oil or additives. Operate the stapler briefly after adding oil.

• Wipe off excessive oil at the exhaust. Excessive oil will damage O-rings of the stapler. If a in-line oiler is used, manual lubrication through the air inlet is not required on a daily basis.

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS

WARNING!

THE FOLLOWING ILLUSTRATION SHOWS THE CORRECT MODE OF CONNECTION TO THE AIR

SUPPLY SYSTEM WHICH WILL INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY AND USEFUL LIFE OF THE STAPLER.

Air hose Quick Oiler Filter

Compressor

Quick couplers

Quick connector

Regulator

• Many air tool users find it convenient to use an oiler to help provide oil circulation through the tool and it increases the efficiency and useful life of the tool. Check oil level in the oiler daily.

• Many air tool users find it convenient to use a filter to remove moisture and impurities which can rust or wear internal parts of the tool. A filter also increases the efficiency and useful life of the tool. The filter must be checked on a daily basis and, if necessary, drained.

• For better performance, install a 3/8” quick connector (1/4” NPT threads) with an inside diameter of

.315” on your tool and a 3/8” quick coupler on the air hose.

CONTACT SAFETY TRIP MECHANISM

OPERATING A CONTACT SAFETY TRIP TOOL:

• The operator is required to have the finger off the trigger and the nose of the stapler to be placed on the workpiece.

• The contact safety trip mechanism is then depressed against the workpiece and the trigger is pulled to drive the staple.

• The trigger is released after each staple is driven.

• Move the stapler to the next location and repeat the above procedure.

VERIFICATION

• Disconnect the air supply from the air inlet.

• Empty all staples from the magazine.

• Make sure the trigger and the contact safety trip mechanism moves up and down without sticking.

• Connect the air supply to the stapler air inlet.

• Depress the contact safety trip mechanism against the workpiece without pulling the trigger. The stapler must not cycle. Never use the tool if a cycle occurs.

• Hold the stapler clear of the workpiece. The contact safety trip mechanism should return to its original down position. Pull the trigger. The tool must not cycle. Never use the stapler if a cycle occurs.

• Depress the contact safety trip mechanism against the workpiece and pull the trigger, the stapler must cycle.

LOADING STAPLER & CLEARING JAMS

LOADING STAPLER MAGAZINE

• Disconnect the air hose from the stapler air inlet.

• Pull all the way back on the feeder shoe until it reaches the feeder shoe lock, lift feeder shoe to engage the lock.

• Place a stick of staples over the hanging rail of the magazine so that the legs of the staples straddle.

• Unlock the feeder shoe and release the feeder shoe forward.

CLEARING JAMS

Disconnect the stapler from the air compressor before adjusting, clearing jams, servicing, relocating and during non-operation.

• Disconnect the air hose from the stapler air inlet.

WARNING! Check and replace any damaged or worn components.

• Add one/two drops of 30W oil for air tools into the air inlet.

• Install a quick connect fitting to the stapler.

• Connect the stapler to an air compressor using a 3/8” I.D. hose. Make sure the magazine does not contain any staples and that the air hose has a rated working pressure exceeding 200 psi and a female quick coupler.

• Regulate the air pressure to obtain 85 psi. Check the operation of the contact safety trip mechanism following the instructions in this manual.

• Load magazine with staples following the instructions in this manual.

• Reconnect the air hose to the stapler air inlet.

• Test for proper staple penetration by driving staples into scrap wood. If the nails do not achieve the desired penetration, regulate the air pressure to a higher setting until the desired penetration is achieved. Do not exceed 100 psi.
