Save these instructions for future reference. Before using your air stapler: Place a maximum of one drop of air tool oil in the air inlet daily before use. Over-oiling will cause air leakage. Check and drain any moisture which may be in the air tank of your compressor. Failure to drain this moisture may damage the interior of the stapler and cause unit to jam and/or cause air leakage. Before use, please read the instruction manual completely for safety and maintenance questions. 2 Never allow the use of oxygen or combustible gas as a power source for the tool. Use filtered, lubricated, and regulated compressed air only. Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to clean the tool. Vapors in the tool may ignite by a spark and cause the tool to explode. Do not exceed maximum permissible operating pressure of the tool (120 PSI). Disconnect the tool from air supply before clearing jams, servicing, adjusting, and during non-operation. Do not place your hand or any part of your body in the fastener discharge area of the tool when connecting or disconnecting the air supply. Do not keep the trigger pulled on a safety yoke mechanism when carrying or holding the tool. Never carry the tool by the hose or pull the hose to move the tool. Carry the tool only by the handle. At the workplace, always wear the protective equipment such as Z87.1 safety glasses, ear and head protection. Do not use a check valve or any other fitting that allows air to remain in the tool. Never point any operational fastener driving tool at yourself or at any other person. Read and understand tool labels and manual. Failure to follow warnings could result in DEATH or SERIOUS injury. Operators and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields. Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving fasteners to avoid accidental firing. NEVER point tool at yourself or others in work area. The employer is responsible for ensuring that the manufacturer s tool operating/safety instructions are available to operators. It is the responsibility of the employer and the tool operator to ensure that tools are used only when the tool operator and all other personnel in the work area ware wearing eye protection equipment, and when required, other appropriate protection equipment such as head, hearing and foot protection. Safety eye and face protection equipment shall conform to the requirements of ANSI Z87.1 The employer and tool operator are responsible for assuring that the tool is kept in safe working order as described in the Tool Operating/Safety Instructions. Only qualified personnel shall repair the tool. The employer is responsible for ensuring that the manufacturer s tool maintenance instructions are available to personnel performing maintenance. Always assume the tool contains fasteners. Disconnect the tool from the power source when; Unattended, Performing any maintenance or repair, Clearing a jam, Moving the tool to a new location. Use only fasteners made or recommended by the tool manufacturer, or fasteners which perform equivalently to those recommended by the manufacturer.

3 AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS The compressed air power source shall be pressure-regulated. The regulated pressure must not exceed the maximum air pressure marked on the tool. If a regulator fails, the pressure delivered to the tool must not exceed 1.5 times the maximum air pressure, or 180 PSI, whichever is greater. Pressure regulators shall be used to limit the air pressure supplied to the tool. Regulators shall be set at an operating pressure which is lower than or equal to the tool manufacturer s specified maximum air pressure. Air supply hoses shall have a minimum working pressure rating equal to or greater than the pressure from the power source if a regulator fails, or 120 PSI, whichever is greater. Tools shall be fitted with a fitting or hose coupling on or near the tool in such a manner that all compressed air in the tool is discharged at the time the fitting or hose coupling is disconnected. Many air tool users find it convenient to use an oilier to help provide oil circulation throughout the tool and to increase the efficiency and useful life of the tool. Check oil level in the oilier daily. Many air tool users find it convenient to use a filter to remove liquids and impurities which can rust or wear internal parts of the tool. A filter can also increase the efficiency and usefulness 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. The following illustration shows the correct mode of connection to the air supply system which will increase the efficiency and useful life of the tool. TESTING THE SAFETY TRIP MECHANISM Never point any operational fastener driving tool at yourself or at any other person. Disconnect the air supply from the tool. Insert a stick of fasteners into the magazine. See section on Loading Fasteners Into Stapler. Press down on workpiece and release the contact safety trip mechanism. Verify there is no binding, sticking or jamming of this mechanism. Reconnect the air supply to the tool. Depress the contact safety trip mechanism against the workpiece without pulling the trigger. The tool must not cycle. Never use the tool if a cycle occurs. Hold the tool clear of the workpiece. The contact safety trip mechanism should return to its original down position. Pull the trigger. The tool must not cycle. Do not use the tool if a cycle occurs. To complete the testing procedures, depress the contact safety mechanism against the workpiece and pull the trigger, the tool must cycle. 4 5

4 LOADING FASTENERS INTO THE STAPLER Never point any operational fastener driving tool at yourself or at any other person. LOADING THE FASTENERS: 1. Disconnect the air hose 2. Depress the magazine latch (A). Pull back on the magazine cover. 3. Insert a stick of fasteners into the magazine. Make sure the staples are placed inside the magazine, with the open end of the staple pointing down. 4. Push the magazine cover forward until the latch catches. FEATURES AND OPERATION FEATURES Large capacity magazine with a quick action latch makes loading easy. The safety lock on the nosepiece must be placed firmly onto the work surface to prevent accidental firings. A tapered nosepiece allows greater visibility for precise fastener placement. A safety switch (Fig. A) that prevents accidental operation of the tool. The switch is located inside the trigger. To lock the trigger, pull the cover of trigger towards the rear of the unit. To unlock tool, release (push forward) the cover of trigger. A key lock or tie strip can be place into the slot for safety storage of unit. FASTENER DEPTH ADJUSTMENT The contact trip (Fig. B) may be adjusted up or down to vary the depth of the fastener in the workpiece. To adjust, rotate the depth adjustment until the desired setting is achieved. The tool is designed to operate between PSI. Lower pressure (below 70 PSI) will reduce performance of the tool while higher air pressure (over 120 PSI) raises the performance of the tool beyond its rated capacity and could cause serious damage to the tool and the user. Most applications will only require the minimum air pressure. However, larger fasteners and harder woods may require air pressure in the upper range. TESTING THE CYCLE OF THE TOOL NOTE: THE AIR SUPPLY SHOULD BE CLEAN AND DRY. FOR BEST RESULTS, DRAIN THE MOISTURE FROM YOUR COMPRESSOR DAILY. CHECK AND REPLACE ANY DAMAGED OR WORN COMPONENTS ON THE TOOL. THE SAFETY WARNING LABELS ON THE TOOL MUST ALSO BE REPLACED IF THEY ARE NOT LEGIBLE. IN CASE THE AIR TOOL IS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE STAPLE INTO THE WORKPIECE COMPLETELY, PLEASE ADJUST THE PRESSURE OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR TO AN APPPROPRIATE PRESSURE. Depress the contact safety trip mechanism against the workpiece without pulling the trigger. The tool must not cycle. Never use the tool if a cycle occurs. Hold the tool clear of the workpiece. The contact safety trip mechanism should return to its original down position. Pull the trigger. The tool must not cycle. Do not use the tool if a cycle occurs. Then depress the contact safety mechanism against the workpiece and pull the trigger, the tool must then cycle. RAPID-FIRE SINGLE-FIRE Rapid-Fire Single-Fire Fig. C Fig. A Fig. B The air tool is equipped with a rotating switch (Fig. C) that can be set to rapid-fire or single-fire mode. 6 7

5 SINGLE-FIRE When the switch is set to single-fire mode, the tool will not drive a second fastener until the trigger is fully released and pulled again and the contact trip is pressed against the workpiece. RAPID-FIRE Pull the trigger fully and keep it depressed to ensure proper rapid-fire operation. When the switch is rotated to rapid-fire mode, the tool can drive fasteners continuously. A fastener will be fired each time the contact trip is pressed against the workpiece, as long as the trigger is maintained in the pulled position. OPERATION Appropriate personal protective equipment is to be worn. Inspect the tool before operating. Determine that the tool is in proper working order. An improperly functioning tool must not be used. Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not. Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece. Respect the tool as a working implement. No horseplay. Do not hold or carry the tool with a finger on the trigger Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of the operating controls is activated. Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool operating controls to become inoperable. Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool operating controls is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working properly. 1. Add one drop of the air tool oil into the air inlet. 2. Empty all fasteners from the magazine. 3. Connect the tool to an air compressor using a 3/8 I.D. hose. Make sure the hose has a rated working pressure exceeding 200 PSI (13.8 bar). 4. Load the fasteners into your tool following the instructions of Loading The Fastener in this manual. 5. Test for proper fastener penetration by driving staples into a sample piece of wood. If the fasteners do not achieve the desired penetration, adjust the air pressure to a higher setting until the desired penetration is achieved. Do not exceed 120 PSI (8.0 bar) at the tool. MAINTENANCE Disconnect the air tool from the air compressor before adjusting, clearing jams, servicing, relocating and during non-operation. Only qualified personnel shall repair the tool and shall only use parts or accessories that are supplied or recommended by the tool manufacturer. The employer shall ensure that tools which require repair are not further used before repair. Tags and physical segregation are recommended means of control. OSHA s General Industry and Construction regulations require the use of tags. The employer is responsible for ensuring that the tool maintenance instructions are available to the appropriate personnel. The employer is responsible for the proper maintenance of all tools in its possession. LUBRICATION Disconnect the air supply from the tool before lubricating. Your tool requires lubrication before using it for the first time, and requires a maximum of one drop daily before use. Wipe off excessive oil at the exhaust. Excessive oil may damage the o-rings of tool. If an in-line oiler is used, manual lubrication through the air inlet is not required on a daily basis. Turn the tool so the inlet is facing up and put one drop of air tool into the air inlet. Test the tool after the oil is added. Never use detergent oil or additives. Use pneumatic tool oil only. 8 9
