CAUTION!
Used where there is
danger to life and health.
WARNING!
Used for danger which
can cause material
damage.
NOTE!
Used for general infor-
mation and information
which if not followed can
cause faults in the
operating sequence.
2 GENERAL INFORMATION
These operating instructions are intended to simplify
familiarisation with the staplers and the possibilities
of application for the intended purpose. The operating
instructions contain important information concerning
the safe, proper and efcient use of the staplers. Ob-
servation of the information will help to avoid danger,
reduce repairs and stoppages and increase the reli-
ability and service life of the top stapler.
The operating instructions must always be available
at the place of operation of the staplers. They must
be read and observed by all persons concerned with
work on the top stapler. This work specically includes
operation, relling of operating material, fault elimina-
tion 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 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.

Josef Kihlberg R557PN
Use for the intended purpose
The top stapler is intended for stapling of card board.
This stapler was designed and manufactured for safe
handling during the stapling operation.
Possible misuse
Do not re any staples into the air or use the stapler
with any other materials than mentioned above.
Servicing
The following maintenance work must be carried out
at regular intervals, varying with working conditions
and workload:
– daily check of compressed air pressure
5.0–6.0 bar (73–87 psi).
– clean the stapler regularly.
– check the condition of the stapler at regular inter-
vals for defects or worn parts. Never use a stapler
that has defective or worn parts (for servicing tasks
refer also to chapter 7.1 until 7.3).
3SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Inform yourself!
Read the operating
instructions carefully.
Protect yourself!
When operating the
stapler, wear eye, ear
protection.
Warning: Danger of
crushing!
Do not put your ngers
underneath the nozzle.
Warning:
Hazard!
Lay the compressed air
hose so that there is no
risk of tripping over it.
Do not exceed the air
pressure!
Do not exceed the re-
commended air pressure.
Use safety coupling!
For connecting the air
hose to the stapler, use
only a safety coupling.
Do not use a bottled air
or gas source!
Do not operate this stap-
ler by using a bottled air
or gas source.
Never leave a loaded
tool unattended!
Always disconnect the
tool from air supply when
not in use.

the trigger (Fig.1/4).
2. Move the stapler and repeat.
Never re it without any work piece.

5INITIAL OPERATION
Fig. 2
5.1 INSTALLATION
The top stapler is delivered without the compressed
air nipple assembled. Assemble the nipple as follow-
ing:
1. Take the stapler out of the box. Check that the
nipple is the correct brand and ts your air sys-
tem. Put sealing compound at the threadle.
(Fig. 2/1).
Install compress air nipple manually until a resistance
is perceptible. Use hexagon ring spanner to tighten 1
1/2 turn..
Lay the compressed air hose so there is
no risk of tripping over it.
5.2 AIR CONNECTION / LUBRICATION
Properly prepared compressed air is essen-
tial for trouble free operation of the stapler.
This can only be ensured by a reliably functioning
maintenance unit, consisting of water separator, pres-
sure reducing valve with pressure gauge. The internal
diameter of the pipe should be at least 10 mm (3/8“).
Never exceed the maximum permitted air
pressure of 8 bar (116 psi). The maximum
supply pressure is 8 bar (116 psi).
Adjust the working pressure to 5,0–6,0 Bar
(73–87 psi).
A low air pressure will give low maintenance costs!
The stapler and the hose must have a coupling which
automatically bleeds all air pressure from the stapler
when it is disconnected.
The stapler needs a small amount of lubricating oil in
the nipple each day or approx. 10 drops once a week
to ensure safe functioning and endurance. For high
frequency stapling we recommend oil mist lubricator.
Please contact our agent for advice.
733007 Lubrication oil 0.2 dl. (Fig.3/1)
Sliding parts are greased, with Dow Corning grease
MS 4 Silicon Compound, at the factory. We recom-
mend use this grease on moving parts if they have
been cleaned or replaced.

6OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 ADJUST THE STAPLE LEG LENGHT
Be sure that the tool is not pointing at
yourself or anyone else when connec-
ting it to the compressed air line.
The stapler is adjustable for 15 or 18 mm staples.
The stapler setting for a different staple leg length is
altered as follows. Start by adjusting the depth of sta-
pling for deep clinching (=) as shown in Fig. 5.
– With a 2,5 mm Allen key, unscrew locking screw
(A) two turns.
– With a screw driver, adjust screw (B) to 15 or 18
mm leg length (Fig. 4)
– Tighten the locking screw.
– Adjust the strap guides (Fig. 5) inner position =
15 mm and outer = 18 mm leg length.

6.2 ADJUST THE PENETRATION DEPTH
The depth of the stapling is easily adjused using the
setting knob.
– Depress the knob (Fig. 6/1) and turn it to any of the
ve positions.
– Low stapling penetration

6.3 ADJUST STAPLE CLINCH
Be sure that the tool is not pointing at
yourself or anyone else when connec-
ting it to the compressed air line.
It is possible to adjust how tightly the staples are
closing.
– With a small screwdriver turn the adjusting nut
behind the slot (Fig. 7/1). Turn clockwise to close
the clinch (7/A). Turn the adjusting nut anticlockwise
to open up the clinch (7/B).

6.5 LOADING THE STAPLER
Be sure that the tool is not pointing at
yourself or anyone else when connec-
ting it to the compressed air line.
– Connect the tool to the compressed air line before
loading staples. The max. allowed air pressure is 8
bar.
–Always use Josef Kihlberg original staples
JK557 with leg length 15 (5/8“ ) or 18 mm (3/4“).
The correct type of staple is marked on the left
hand side of the magazine. Ensure you use the
right length of staples for your application and be
sure that the stapler is adjusted for this length.
1. Press the magazine lid backwards and release
the latch. Lift the lid at the same time upwards and
then backwards(Fig.8/1)
2. Feed the staple strip right up to the side guides.
(8/2)
3. Close the lid with a slight push and press it down-
wards until the lid has reached locking position
6.6 OPERATING THE STAPLER
Adjust the air pressure to 5,0–6,0 bar (73-87 psi).
Never exceed 8 bar (116 psi).
A low air pressure will give low maintenance costs!
– Press the stapler against the card board.
– Pull the trigger as described in chapter 4.2.
– Move the tool and repeate until you have nished
the stapling.
– Control the clinch regulary, see chapter 6.4.
Warning: before stapling, ensure that
your hand or any other part of your
body is not underneath the nozzle.
Always place yourself in a rmly ba-
lanced position when using or hand-
ling the tool.
