DO NOT place your hands near the
staple point of entry. A staple can
deflect and tear through the surface
of the workpiece, puncturing your
hand or fingers.
NOTICE
DO NOT use the stapler to position
the flooring strip. Doing so will
damage the stapler and possibly the
flooring strip.
Note: If you are using pre-finished
flooring material, test the stapler
on a sample strip. If the stapler base
plate is damaging or marring the
flooring surface, replace it with a
new one.
4. Place the stapler on the flooring
strip, as shown in Figure 3.
5. Make sure the cleat on the stapler
base plate is lined up with the edge
of the groove on the flooring strip.
6. Using the rubber end of the included
hammer, hit the whack cap of the
stapler ONCE with a light to medium
force to shoot a staple into the wood.
Never hit the whack cap of the
stapler multiple times to drive the
staple into the wood. If necessary,
use a hammer to drive the staple in.
Failure to heed this warning could
cause a staple jam or a ricochet, and
serious personal injury.
7. Check the staple for satisfactory
penetration.
— If the staple depth is satisfactory,
proceed with your project.
— If the staple depth is too shallow,
slightly increase the air pressure.
— If the staple depth is too deep,
slightly decrease the air pressure.
Note: Staple penetration is not
always consistent due to variations in
the flooring material. If necessary,
use a hammer to finish seating the
staple.
Clearing Jammed
Staples
A jammed staple must be cleared before
using the stapler again.
To clear a jammed staple from the dis-
charge area, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT STAPLER FROM THE AIR
SUPPLY!
2. Pull the magazine loader handle all
the way back and remove the staple
stick.
