TOOL AIR FITTING
This tool uses a 1/4-18 N.P.T or 1/4-19 P.T. male plug. The inside diameter should be .200” (5 mm) or larger. The
fitting must be capable of discharging tool air pressure when disconnected from the air supply.
OPERATING PRESSURE
70 to 120 PSI (5 to 8 kg/cm2). Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener performance. DO
NOT EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
TECHNICAL DATA
AIR CONSUMPTION
Tool air consumption: SN50-1.9 cfm (0.9 liter/sec), SN40-1.7 cfm (0.8 liter/sec) of free air to operate at the rate
of 100 nails per minute, at 90 PSI (6.0 kg/cm2). 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 nails per minute, you need 50% of the
tool air consumption in running at 100 nails per minute.
NOISE
A-weighted single-event sound power level LWA,1s: SN50-107.4, SN40-105 dBA
A-weighted single-event emission sound pressure level at work station LpA 1s,d: SN50 -106.9, SN40 -104.7 dBA
These values are determined and documented in accordance to EN12549.
VIBRATION
Vibration characteristic value: SN50-3.46, SN40-5.13 m/s
2
These values are determined and documented in accordance to ISO 8662-11.
This value is a tool-related characteristic value and does not represent the influence to the hand-arm-system
when using the tool. An influence to the hand-arm-system when using the tool will, for example, depend on
the gripping force, the contact pressure force, the working direction, the adjustment of mains supply and the
workpiece support.

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
DO NOT USE OXYGEN, COMBUSTIBLE GASES, OR BOTTLED GASES AS A
POWER SOURCE FOR THIS TOOL AS TOOL MAY EXPLODE, POSSIBLY CAUSING
INJURY.
FITTINGS: Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing and which will release
air pressure from the tool when disconnected from the supply source.
HOSES: Air hoses should have a minimum of 150 PSI. (10.6 kg/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.
SUPPLY SOURCE: Use only clean, regulated compressed air as a power source for this
tool. NEVER USE OXYGEN, COMBUSTIBLE GASES, OR BOTTLED GASES AS A
POWER SOURCE FOR THIS TOOL AS TOOL MAY EXPLODE.
REGULATOR: A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of 0 – 125 PSI (0 - 8.79
kg/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 (14 kg/cm2) as
tool may fracture or burst, possibly causing injury.
OPERATING PRESSURE: Do not exceed recommended maximum operating pressure
as tool wear will be greatly increased. The air supply must be capable of maintaining the
operating pressure at the tool. Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool’s
driving power. Refer to “TOOL SPECIFICATIONS” for setting the correct operating
pressure for the tool.
FILTER: Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of wear in pneumatic tools. A
filter will help to get the best performance and minimum wear from the tool. The filter
must have adequate flow capacity for the specific installation. The filter has to be kept
clean to be effective in providing clean compressed air to the tool. Consult the
manufacturer’s instructions on proper maintenance of your filter. A dirty and/or clogged
filter will cause a pressure drop which will reduce the tool’s performance.
LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. A i r - t o o l oil
added through the air line connection will lubricate the internal parts. Do not use
detergent oil or additives as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals
and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent tool
maintenance.
If no air line 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 is necessary. Too much oil will only collect
inside the tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
CAUTION:
NOTE:
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 permanent antifreeze
(ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
Do not store tools in a cold-weather environment to prevent frost or ice
formation on the tools operating valves and mechanisms, which could cause
tool failure. Test tool without fasteners prior to operations to ensure no
malfunction on the tool due to ice formation.
Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful to O-Rings and seals – do
not use these low temperature air dryers without checking compatibility.

3. TRIGGER OPERATED

OPERATION
1. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION:
The CONTACT TRIP MODEL tool contains a contact trip that operates in
conjunction with the trigger to drive a fastener. There are two methods of
operation to drive fasteners with a contact trip tool.
a. SINGLE FASTENER PLACEMENT: To operate the tool in this manner, first position
the contact trip on the work surface, WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress
the contact trip until the nose touches the work surface and then pull the trigger to
drive a fastener. Do not press the tool against the work with extra force. Instead,
allow the tool to recoil off the work surface to avoid a second unwanted fastener.
Remove your finger from the trigger after each operation
b. RAPID FASTENER OPERATION: To operate the tool in this manner, hold the tool
with the contact trip pointing towards but not touching the work surface. Pull the
trigger and then tap the contact trip against the work surface using a bouncing
motion. Each depression of the contact trip will cause a fastener to be driven.
The operator must not hold the trigger on contact trip tools except during fastening
operation, as serious injury could result if the trip accidentally contacts someone
or something, causing the tool to cycle.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact trip tool
may bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener
may
be
driven,
possibly
causing
injur
y
.
2. SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION:
The SEQUENTIAL TRIP MODEL contains a contact trip that operates in conjunction
with the trigger to drive a fastener. To operate a sequential trip tool, first position the
contact trip on the work surface WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the
contact trip and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. As long as the contact trip is
contacting the work and is held depressed, the tool will drive a fastener each time the
trigger is depressed. If the contact trip is allowed to leave the work surface, the sequence
described above must be repeated to drive another fastener.
3. TRIGGER OPERATED:
A TRIGGER OPERATED tool requires a single action to drive a fastener. Each time the
trigger is pulled the tool will drive a fastener. The trigger operated model is intended for
use only when a contact trip or sequential trip cannot be used to the requirements of the
application.
4. REMOTE FIRE:
The Remote fire model is cycle by actuation of remote valve (RCVA1) for mounted machine.

MAINTAINING THE PNEUMATIC TOOL
When working on air tools, note the warnings in this manual and use extra care
evaluating problem tools. Disconnect air supply and empty the magazine when
inspecting or maintaining the tool.
REPLACEMENT PARTS:
Use only genuine parts from the manufacturer or distributor. Do not use modified parts or
parts which will not give equivalent performance to the original equipment.
Tighten all screws.
Keep contact arm moving smoothly.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR SEALS:
When repairing a tool, make sure the internal parts are clean and lubricated. Use O-Ring
lubricant on all O-Rings. Coat each O-Ring with O-Ring lubricant before assembling. Use a small
amount of oil on all moving surfaces and pivots. After reassembly add a few drops of Air Tool
Lubricant through the air line fitting before testing.
AIR PRESSURE AND VOLUME:
Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate
because of undersize fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in the system.
Restricted air flow will prevent the tool from receiving an adequate volume of air, even though the
pressure reading is high. The results will be slow operation, misfeeds or reduced driving power.
Before evaluating tool problems for these symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to the
supply source for restrictive connectors, swivel fittings, low points containing water and anything
else that would prevent full volume flow of air to the tool.
DRIVER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Worn driver causing poor driving quality or loss of power:
Wear or a chip on the driver tip will affect the fastener drive, giving symptoms of bent and
incompletely driven fasteners, and damaged fastener heads.
When there is a need, please contact a qualified service technician for this replacement.

QUICK JAM-RELEASING MAGAZINE
The stapler contains a “Quick Jam-Releasing Magazine” feature. The magazine is spring loaded to reduce
jamming. When a jam does occur, a quick release mechanism at the rear of the magazine allows the magazine
to move back, in order to clear the jam.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT AIR SUPPLY BEFORE CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER.
If a jam does occur, locate the latch at the rear of magazine (FIG. 1). Pull down on the
latch to open (FIG. 2), and rotate it clockwise 1/4 turn (FIG. 3). Pull back on the latch
(FIG. 4). This will pull the magazine back to clear the jam. After removing the jammed fastener, push on the
latch, rotate it 1/4 turn counterclockwise and push up to close.
