Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. Before driving fasteners into walls, floors, or wherever live electrical wires may be encountered, try to ascertain whether there is a danger of shock. Ear protection. Wear ear protection when using the tool for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss. Safety glasses To prevent eye injuries, the tool operator and all persons in the work area must wear approved safety glasses conforming to ANSI Z87.1 specifications with permanently attached, rigid side shields. Use clean, dry, regulated, compressed air at 60 to 100 psi. Do not connect tool to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi. Air hose. Only use hose that is rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 psi or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any other bottled gas as a power source for this tool. Explosion and serious personal injury could result. Couplings. Connect tool to air supply hose with a 1/4 npt coupling that removes all pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnnected. Be aware of air hoses and their connections. Don t trip over hoses. Make sure all connections are tight. Disconnect tool from air supply hose before doing any disassembly, maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person. Never use a tool that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or requires repair. Make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened. Check for damaged parts. Never use a tool if safety, trigger, or spring are inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety, trigger, or springs. Make daily inspections for the free movement of trigger and safety mechanism. Replacement parts. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts and fasteners recommended by us. Be sure the tool is disconnected from the air supply before loading the fasteners. Take care on re-connection: fasteners may be fired accidentally during connection. The fastener driving mechanism may cycle when the tool is connected to the air supply. Assume the tool contains fasteners at all times. Always keep it pointed away from yourself and others. No horseplay. Respect the tool as having lethal potential. Do not load fasteners with trigger or safety depressed. The tool may unintentionally fire a fastener. Do not depress the trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry tool with finger on or touching the trigger mechanism: tool may fire an unwanted fastener. 4
Fire fasteners into work surface only and never into materials too hard to penetrate Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing the tool to recoil away from the work surface as the fastener is driven. If the safety is allowed to recontact the work surface before the trigger is released, an unwanted fastener will be fired. Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners, or with the tool at too steep an angle: the fasteners can ricochet causing personal injury. Do not drive fasteners too close to the edge of the workpiece. The workpiece is likely to split, allowing the fasteners to fly free or ricochet causing personal injury.! WARNING The warnings, cautions, and instructions detailed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that occur. It must be understood by the operator that COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION ARE FACTORS that cannot be built into this product, but MUST BE SUPPLIED BY THE OPERATOR. 5

OPERATION & USE INSTRUCTIONS! WARNING BE SURE THAT YOU READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY RULES THAT ACCOMPANY THIS MANUAL. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR BEST USE AND MAXIMUM USER SATISFACTION. UNPACKING SETUP & OPERATION Check and make sure one of each of the following are all included. Hammer Nailer/Stapler S3 Hex Key S4 Hex Key S5 Hex Key Air Tool Oil Instruction Manual 25/32 Spacer (Installed) 1/2 Spacer AIR SYSTEM The nailer/stapler is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air, regulated at 60-100 psi. The preferred system would include a filter, a pressure regulator with a gauge, and an automatic oiler located downstream from the main air supply, as close to the tool as possible (within 15 feet is ideal). Do not use bottled air or gases. Please see figure below: All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminants that can harm the internal components of the tool. An air line filter will remove most of these and significantly prolong the life of the tool. Ensure the in-line oiler has sufficient oil. If an in-line oiler is not available, place 2 drops of oil into the tool s air inlet at the beginning of each workday. More than this will be expelled from the tool s exhaust during firing. Air Fitting: The nailer/stapler should be equipped with a 1/4 NPT male plug to fit a quick connector coupling. To prevent accidental cycling even though disconnected, the tool must always be connected to the air supply in such a way that all air pressure in it is released when the coupling is disconnected. 7
! CAUTION All air line components (including hoses, pipe, connectors, filters, & regulators, etc.) must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 psi or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater. Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another location, or handing it to another person. LOADING THE FASTENERS! CAUTION Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times. Do not load fasteners with safety or trigger depressed. Always wear approved safety glasses and hearing protection when preparing or operating this tool. Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair.

Hold the tool firmly, press the LOCK (Parts List, 46) and pull the MOVABLE MAGAZINE (Parts List, 35). 2. Place the specified type and size of staples in the FIXED MAGAZINE (Parts List, 58) from the topside. 3. Push and lock the movable magazine (Parts List, 35) B. Loading L Cleat Nails 1. Hold the tool firmly, press the LOCK (Parts List, 46) and pull the MOVABLE MAGAZINE (Parts List, 35). 2. Place the specified type and size of L cleats in the magazine from the side. The head of the L cleats should be inserted into the notch on the fixed magazine. 3. Push and lock the MOVABLE MAGAZINE (Parts List, 35) CONNECTING THE TOOL 1. Turn the compressor on. 2. Set the regulator to proper pressure for the size and type of fasteners being used. 3. After reading and understanding this entire manual, connect tool to air supply. OPERATING THE TOOL 1. The depth to which a fastener is driven is determined by the supplied air pressure. 1a. Test fire a fastener into a sample of the material you will be working on and check depth. 8
! 1b. Adjust the regulator to supply air at a higher pressure if increase drive depth is desired. Decreasing supplied air pressure will result in the fastener driven depth also being decreased. 1c. Test fire another fastener and check depth again. CAUTION Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times. Never attempt to drive fasteners into materials too hard to penetrate, at too steep an angle, or too near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener can ricochet causing personal injury. Disconnect tool from air supply before loading fasteners, doing any disassembly, maintenance, clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person. Clean and inspect the tool daily. Carefully check for proper operation of trigger and safety mechanism. Do not use the tool unless both the trigger and the safety mechanism are functional, or if the tool is leaking air or needs any other repair. 2. Load the fasteners following the directions in the LOADING THE FASTENERS section. 3. Connect the tool to the air supply. Make sure the air pressure is within the minimum and maximum operating pressures as noted in the SPECIFICATIONS section. 4. Hold the LONG ARM (Parts List, 66) and press the SHOE (Parts List, 28) against the work surface. 5. Strike the HAMMER FACE (Parts List, 10) with the provided HAMMER (Parts List, 68) to drive the fastener out. 6. Lift the tool off of the work surface. 7. In certain tight spaces, it may be useful to remove the handle. 8. Two spacers are provided, (Schematic, 32 & 32a). They provide a non-marring surface on the bottom of the shoe. Choose the spacer thickness that places a fastener correctly in the apex of the angle between the flooring tongue and its vertical edge. CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER 1.! CAUTION Disconnect the tool from the air supply. 2. Open the magazine cover. Remove any remaining fasteners from the tool. 3. Use a slender, soft steel rod to push the drive blade to its uppermost position. Remove the jammed fastener with needle nose pliers. 4.
