2 GENERAL INFORMATION
These operating instructions are intended to simplify
familiarisation with the bottom stapler and the pos-
sibilities of application for the intended purpose. The
operating instructions contain important information
concerning the safe, proper and efcient use of the
bottom stapler. Observation of the information will help
to avoid danger, reduce repairs and stoppages and
increase the reliability and service life of the bottom
stapler.
The operating instructions must always be available
at the place of operation of the bottom stapler. They
must be read and observed by all persons concerned
with work on the bottom stapler. This work specically
includes operation, relling of operating material, fault
elimination and maintenance.
In addition to the operating instructions and the regu-
lations for accident prevention effective in the country
of use and place of application, the recognised tech-
nical regulations for safety and proper working must
also be observed.
2.1 INFORMATION ON ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
This industrial stapler is manufactured without any
physical or chemical substances which could be
dangerous to health. For disposal of all the parts, the
governmental instructions must be observed.

cardboard.
This bottom stapler was designed and manufactured
for safe handling during the stapling operation.
Possible misuse
The bottom stapler is designed to be used only with
corrugated cardboard.
Servicing
The following maintenance work must be carried out
at regular intervals, varying with working conditions
and workload:
– daily check of compressed air pressure (4–6 bar).
– clean the bottom stapler regularly.
– check the condition of the bottom stapler at regular
intervals for defects or worn parts. Never use a
bottom stapler that has defective or worn parts
(for sevice work refer also to chapters 7.1 and
7.2).
3SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

4.2 FUNCTION
1. The pressure cylinder (Fig. 2/1) is activated by the
foot valve (Fig. 2/2).
2. When you press the foot valve the cylinder pres-
ses the stapling head (Fig.2/3) against the manu-
ally positioned carton.
3. The stapling head automatically pushes a staple
through the carton and the staple clinches against
the anvil.
4. When you release the foot valve the stapling
head is returned and the bottom stapler is ready
for next stapling.

5INITIAL OPERATION
Fig. 3
5.1 INSTALLATION
The bottom stapler is delivered with the rear foot dis-
assambled. Assemble as following:
1. Remove the bottom stapler and the rear foot from
the carton.
2. Assemble the rear foot according to Fig. 3.
Tighten the two screws, (Fig. 3/1).
3. Place the bottom stapler on level, rm and clean-
working ground.
Lay the compressed air hose so that
there is no risk of tripping over it.
5.2 COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTION
Properly prepared compressed air is essen-
tial for troublefree operation of the bottom
stapler. This can only be ensured by a reliably functio-
ning maintenance unit, consisting of water separator,
pressure reducing valve with pressure gauge.
The internal diameter of the pipe should be at least
10 mm (3/8“).
The bottom stapler doesn´t need any lubrication.
Connect and adjust the air pressure to the lowest
possible, approx. 5,0 bars (72 psi), which clinch the
staples correctly.
Never exceed the maximum permitted air
pressure of 8 bar (110 psi). The maximum
supply pressure is 8 Bar (110 psi).
Low air pressure will give low mainte-
nance costs!

ter 6.1). Ensure to use the right length of the staple
(refer to chapter 6.3).
– Place the carton underneath the protector.
– Activate the foot valve.
– The stapling head presses the carton and
automatically clinches the staple against the anvil.

6.3 CONTROL THE CLINCH
1Good clinch.
2 Leg length of the staple too long.
3 Leg length of staple too short.
Always use Josef Kihlberg original
staples: JK53-09 or JK53-12.

– When you release the foot valve the stapling head
will return.
– Move the carton to the next staple position and ac-
tivate the foot valve again. Repeat until the correct
amount of staples have been used.

7PREVENTIVE AND CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
7.1 LUBRICATION
The linkage bearings are greased at delivery.
At regular intervals (monthly) lubricate them with oil.
Also lubricate the moving parts in the stapling head
with a few drops of oil.
7.2 CLEANING THE BOTTOM STAPLER
This bottom stapler does not require special servicing.
It only needs regular cleaning with a non-aggressive
(non-corrosive) cleaning agent. Do not remove any
parts for cleaning purposes!
Check the proper functioning of all safety
devices daily. Make especially sure that:
– the foot valve safety latch and the protector move
freely without binding or sticking.
– all screws and nuts are securely tightened.
Before carrying out any maintenance
tasks on the bottom stapler always
rst disconnect it from the air supply.
7.3 REMOVING JAMMED STAPLES
Before carrying out any maintenance
tasks on the bottom stapler always
rst disconnect it from the air supply.
Fig. 11

– Loosen the screw (Fig. 11/1). Squeeze the stapler
head and remove the staple trip block(11/3).
– Driving down the lower part of stapling head until
the defective staple exposed.
– Remove the defective staple.
– Replace the driver (16/5) if it is worn.
– Assemble in reverse order.

Josef Kihlberg F53PN
7.5 ADJUST STAPLE CLINCH
Each bottom stapler is tested carefully before delivery.
Following rough treatment during transport a screw
may become loosened and the anvil may therefore
have to be adjusted. Incorrect stapling may occur
(Fig. 13/1).
– Press down a staple (Fig. 14/1) by hand until the
staple legs are visible or insert a single staple into
the canal.
– Move the staple head down towards the anvil (Fig.
14/2) and check that the staple legs hit the anvil sym-
metrically.
– If necessary, loosen the screw (Fig. 14/3) and cen-
tre the anvil to the staple. Remember to tighten the
screw after adjustment.
– Make a test stapling in a piece of cardboard. If the
anvil is correctly adjusted, the clinch should be as
shown in (Fig. 13/2).
7.4 ADJUSTMENT OF STAPLING HEAD BEARING
Upon delivery, the stapling head bearing is tight but
easily movable. After being in use for a while, the be-
aring will have become worn and must be readjusted
as follows:
– Loosen nut (Fig. 12/1) and screw (Fig. 12/2).
– Tighten screw (Fig. 12/2) to obtain just enough play.
– Lock with nut (Fig. 12/1).
