Using the Floor Stapler

THIS TOOL DOES NOT USE A SAFETY MECHANISM; extreme caution must be used whenever this tool is connected to an air supply. If the tool is dropped or if the Hammer Face (10) is accidentally struck, then the tool will fire a staple, potentially causing SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY.

1.

Connect the Floor Stapler to the air hose and turn on the

air compressor.

 

Note: Before using on a floor, test the unit on a scrap piece of wood. Adjust the driving depth by providing more or less air pressure. Never exceed 100 PSI.

Warning! Keep your feet clear of the Stapler. Refer to FIGURES 1 and 3.

2.Hold the Arm (48) securely with one hand and grip the Hammer (49) with the other hand.

3.Make sure the Shoe (28) is over the staple target position.

Press down hard so that the Shoe (28) is firmly contacting the floor, and then strike the Hammer Face (10) with the Hammer (49) to drive out a staple. Lift the tool off of the floor.

4.Repeat the process until you are finished. Then, disconnect the Floor Stapler from the air source.

Warning! After disconnecting the Stapler from the air compressor, there could still be enough air pressure to fire the Stapler. After the air compressor hose is disconnected, always fire the Stapler repeatedly to make sure all of the air is expended
