Setup

1. Connect Air Supply:
   • Ensure the air compressor is off and depressurized.
   • Connect a 1/4" NPT quick-change connector to the air inlet of the stapler.
   • Attach the air hose from your compressor to the stapler's connector.
   • Set the air compressor pressure regulator to the recommended operating range of 75-110 PSI. Do not exceed 110 PSI.
2. Load Staples:
   • Disconnect the air supply before loading staples.
   • Locate the staple magazine release latch, typically at the rear of the magazine.
   • Pull the magazine open or slide it back.
   • Insert a strip of 16 gauge staples (3/4" to 2" length) into the magazine with the points facing down.
   • Close the magazine securely until it latches.
3. Adjust Depth Control:
   • The stapler features an adjustable depth control mechanism.
   • Rotate the depth adjustment knob or lever (refer to Figure 2 for location) to set the desired staple depth. Test on a scrap piece of material first.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Workpiece: Ensure the material is clean, dry, and free of obstructions. Secure the workpiece if necessary.
2. Connect Air: Reconnect the air supply to the stapler.
3. Position Tool: Place the nose of the stapler firmly against the workpiece where you want to drive a staple. The metallic contact safety mechanism requires pressure against the surface to allow firing.
4. Fire Staple: Squeeze the trigger to drive a staple. Release the trigger after each staple.
5. Continuous Operation (if applicable): Some models allow for bump firing. If your model supports this, hold the trigger and bump the nose of the tool against the workpiece to drive staples rapidly. Always exercise caution with this mode.
6. Clear Jams: If a staple jam occurs, immediately disconnect the air supply. Use the quick-release system to open the magazine and carefully remove the jammed staple. Reconnect air only after the jam is cleared and the magazine is closed.
7. Adjust Air Exhaust: The 360° rotatable air exhaust valve can be adjusted to direct exhaust air away from your face or the workpiece.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pneumatic stapler. Always disconnect the air supply before performing any maintenance.

• Lubrication: Apply a few drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet daily or before each use. This lubricates internal components. Do not use detergent oil or automotive oil.
• Cleaning: Keep the tool clean and free of debris. Wipe down the exterior with a clean cloth. Periodically clean the magazine and nose area to prevent staple jams.
• Air Filter: If your air compressor has an inline air filter, ensure it is regularly cleaned or replaced to prevent contaminants from entering the tool.
• Inspect Hoses and Fittings: Regularly check air hoses and fittings for wear, leaks, or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately.
• Storage: Store the stapler in a dry, clean environment when not in use. Disconnect it from the air supply.
