LOADING FASTENERS

1. Pull back to slide open the magazine cover (2001621-33a) until it clicks to
lock it open
2. Insert a stick of staples – up to 80 pieces
3. Push slide cover forward until it clicks to lock it closed.
4. The tool is ready to operate.

USING THE TOOL

1. Complete all the steps in Preparing the Tool and Loading Fasteners, above,
before using the tool.
NOTE: Use care when installing pre-finished flooring with this tool. It is
designed to install unfinished flooring and may leave marks on the finish
of pre-finished flooring. Always test fire the Flooring Stapler on a sample
piece of flooring before starting a new job to ensure it does not damage the
floor finish.
2. Connect the tool with the air supply. Make sure the air pressure is within
the range given in Specifications above.
i. The depth to which a staple is driven is determined by the supplied
air pressure.
ii. Test fire a staple into a sample of the material you will be working
on and check depth.
iii. If a change is desired, adjust the regulator to supply air at a higher
or lower pressure.
iv. Test fire another fastener and check depth again.
v. Adjust as necessary.
3. Tightly set a floor plank into position.
4. Position the tool against the edge of the flooring where you want the staple
driven.
5. Hold the handle (2001621-48 ARM in the parts list) firmly with one hand,
while swinging the mallet with the other.
6. Strike the trigger button (2001621-10 HAMMER FACE) firmly with the
mallet (2001621-49 HAMMER). The blow will tap the floor board more
tightly into position, while at the same time, firing a staple at the correct
angle into the edge of the board.
7. Lift the tool off the work surface.
CAUTION:
 Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.
 Never attempt to drive staples into materials too hard to penetrate, or 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 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.
