1. Make sure compressor tanks have been properly drained prior to
use. Always drain the compressor tanks at least once daily while
using the stapler. This is especially important in cold weather
because any moisture in the air in the tanks will condense in the
cold temperature.
2. Keep the tool as warm as possible prior to use.
3. Lower air pressure to 80 psi or less.
4. Actuate the tool 5 or 6 times into scrap lumber to lubricate o-rings.
5. Turn pressure up to operating level (not to exceed 120 psi) and
use tool as normal.
Hot Weather Operation
Tool should operate normally. However, keep tool out of direct sunlight
as excessive heat can damage bumpers, o-rings and other rubber
parts.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners
from magazine before making adjustments or personal injury may
result.

ACTION
Drain compressor tanks and hoses daily
WHY
Prevents accumulation of moisture in compressor and
stapler
HOW
Open petcocks or other drain valves on compressor
tanks. Allow any accumulated water to drain from
hoses
ACTION
Clean magazine, magazine release, and contact trip
mechanism
WHY
Permits smooth operation, reduces wear, and
prevents jams
HOW
Blow clean with compressed air. The use of oils or
solvents is not recommended as they tend to attract
debris
