3) Air hose 

• 

Air hoses should have a minimum of 150 psi (10.4 bar  10.6 
kgf/cm2) working pressure rating or 150 percent of the 
maximum pressure that could be produced in the air system. 
The supply hose should contain a fitting that will provide 
"quick disconnecting" from the male plug on the Tool. 

4) Hose Coupling 

• 

This tool uses a free-flow connector plug, 1/4 NPT. The  
inside diameter should be .200" (5mm) or larger. The fitting 
must be capable of discharging tool air pressure when  
disconnected from the air supply. 

5) Air Consumption 

• 

The model 461A requires 3.1 cfm of free air to operate at 
the rate of 100 fasteners per minute, at 80 psi. Take the 
actual rate at which the tool will be run to determine the 
amount of air required. For instance, if your fastener usage 
averages 50 fasteners per minute, you need 50% of the 
tool’s cfm which is required to operate the tool at 100  
fasteners per minute. 

6) Operating Pressure 

• 

70 to 120 psi.  Select the operating pressure within this 
range for best Staple performance. DO NOT EXCEED THIS 
RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE. 

LUBRICATION 

Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best  
performance. Oil added through the air line connection will  
lubricate the internal parts. Use Air Tool Lubricant, Mobil Velocite 
#10, or equivalent. Do not use detergent oil or additives as these 
lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals and piston 
cushion in the Tool, resulting in poor Tool performance and  
frequent Tool maintenance. 
 
If no airline lubricator is used, add oil during use into the air  
fitting on the Tool once or twice a day. Only a few drops of oil at 
a time are necessary. Too much oil will only collect inside the 
Tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle. 

COLD WEATHER CARE 

For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the  
moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent Tool operation. 
We recommend the use of WINTER FORMULA Air Tool lubricant 
(NEW-MATIC Winter Formula or equivalent) or permanent  
anti-freeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant. 
 
CAUTION: Do not store Staplers in a cold weather environment to 
prevent frost or ice formation on the Staplers operating valves 
and mechanisms that could cause Stapler failure. 
 
NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful to  
O-rings and seals – do not use these low temperature air dryers 
without checking compatibility. 

• 

Do  not operate the Stapler at high pressure without 
Staples 

CAUTION 

WARNING 

• 

Never connect Stapler to pressure which  
potentially exceeds 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm2). 

• 

Never use non relieving coupler on Stapler. 

2) Filter-Regulator-Lubricator 

• 

A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of  
0-125 psi (0-8.6 bar   0-8.8 kgf/cm2)  is required to control 
the operating pressure for safe operation of this tool. Do not 
connect this tool to air pressure which can potentially  
exceed 200 psi as tool may fracture or burst, possibly  
causing injury. 

• 

Filter-Regulator-Lubricator units supply an optimum  
condition for the Stapler and extend the Stapler life.  

These units should always be used: 
Filter

—The filter removes moisture and dirt mixed in compressed 

air. Drain daily unless fitted with an automatic drain. Keep the 
filter clean by regular maintenance.  

Regulator

—The regulator controls the operating pressure for 

safe operation of the Stapler. Inspect the regulator before  
operation to be sure it operates properly. 

Lubricator

—The lubricator supplies an oil mist to the Stapler. 

Inspect the lubricator before operation to be sure the supply of 
lubricant is adequate. Use PNI pneumatic tool lubricant.

1) Power Source 

• 

Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power 
source for this Stapler. 

• 

Air compressors used to supply compressed air to this  
Stapler must comply with the requirements of the latest 
version of ANSI Standard B 19.3 "Safety Standard For  
Compressors For Process Industries." 

• 

Moisture or oil in the air compressor may accelerate wear 
and corrosion in the Stapler. 

• 

Drain daily.
