2) Lubricate The Stapler:
Note: Stapler requires lubrication before
first
time use, or after a long period of no use.
1. Disconnect the stapler from air supply.
2. Turn the stapler so that air inlet faces up. Squeeze three drops of oil into the air inlet (
Fig. 5)
.
3. Wipe off any excess oil at the exhaust cap.
4. Connect the stapler to the compressed air. Without loading staples, press trigger several
times to shoot empty, wipe off any excess oil.
Note:
If the stapler is not connected to an in-line lubricator, it needs to be lubricated regularly.
Add one or two drops of oil at the start of each work day.
If tool is connected to an in-line lubricator, manual lubrication is not needed.
Warning:
If the stapler is not sufficiently oiled, the piston blade may stick and misfire. Fail to oil the
stapler may damage the tool.
Warning:
Over oiling can damage O-rings and cause air leak.
An in-line lubricator and regulator can also be added as shown in
Fig. 4
.
The in-line lubricator is a convenient way to lubricate the tool. If an in-line lubricator is installed, do not lubricate the
stapler manually. Check the lubricator's oil level frequently.
The air pressure regulator regulates output air pressure. It is
better than the one on the air compressor since it is closer to the tool.
A separate regulator is especially useful when there are several tools connected to the same air compressor, or when
the air hose spans a long distance. Always install an air regulator as close to the tool as possible.
Operation Instructions:
1) Set Up Compressed Air:
The following diagram shows a simple compressed air set-up.
Connect a filter to air compressor through a straight air hose. Connect the stapler to the filter with a coiled air hose.
Straight air hose is ideal for long distances. A coiled air hose gives the user more freedom while using stapler and is safer
when the tool is not in use. Use quick couplers for easy connecting/disconnecting. Make sure all the air hoses are rated
with working pressure exceeding 200 psi. The air compressor usually has two air pressure gauges: One indicates the
tank pressure; the other the output air pressure. Use the regulator knob to adjust the output air pressure.
The filter removes moisture and debris from compressed air and protects the interior parts of the stapler from
unnecessary wear (
Fig. 3
). Without filter, the stapler may shoot rusty water. The rusty water is from the tank. Empty
water from the tank regularly by following the air compressor manufacturer’s instruction.
