SAFETYMEASURES

Theseimportant guidelinesshouldalwaysbe followed

to worksafelywith the PRIMATECH pneumaticstapler

modelP260:

1.Read theseinstructionsthoroughlybeforeusing this

tooland keep it handyforreference ifnecessary.

2.Alwayskeep hands,feet orotherbodypartsaway

fromthe staple ejection area.

3.Neveraimthe toolinanydirection otherthan the

working area.

4.Alwayscarryormanipulate the toolbyitshandle

while the airsupplyhose isconnected.

5.Neverhitthe head cap ofthe actuatorifthe plastic

baseisnot sitting perfectlyon the working surface.

6.Neverleavethe toollayingdownon itsside while

the airsupplyhoseisconnected; the toolshould

alwaysbe lefton the floor,standing on itsplastic

base.

7.Do not alterorremove safety.

8.Alwaysdisconnectthe airsupplyhosewhen the tool

isnot in use orwhen move to anotherworkarea.

9.Neverserviceorrepairthe tool,clearobstructions

ormakeadjustmentswhilethe airsupplyhoseis

connected.

10.Onlycompressed airshould be used to powerthis

tool(100 psi, 6.9 barmaximum).

11.Neveruseoxygen oranyothercompressed gasas

a powersource forthistool.

12.AlwayswearOSHA-required Z-87 safetyglasses

with side shields.

13.Alwayswearproperearand feet protection while

the airsupplyhose isconnected.

14.Alwaysremovecleatsfromthe feederchannel

before servicing the tool.

CONNECTION&AIRSUPPLYSYSTEM

Toensuremaximumperformanceand efficiency,and

alsoaminimumofcare, the PRIMATECH pneumatic

staplerrequiresclean, dryair.It isnecessaryto usea

filterand a pressure regulator.

OPERATIONBYACTUATING TOOL SEVERAL

TIMES WITHOUT STAPLES OVERTHE

SUBFLOORING .

Dirt, dust, and otherparticlesinthe airsupplycan cause

sluggishoperation orprematurewearofmany

componentsofthe tool.Drainwaterfromthe

compressortankregularly.The compressorstart-stop

limitsshouldbe set to deliveran airpressureofat least

100 psi (7bar) at all time. Consultthe compressor

manualordealerforinstructionson howto makethis

adjustment.

At80 psi(5.5 bar) and100 hitsperminute, the tool

consumesapproximately4.5cu.ft(125 )ofairper

minute at 70°F(21°C).Higherairpressurewill increase

the consumption ofcompressed air.

The toolisdesigned to be operated with acompressed

airpressureof80 psi(5.5 bar).Occasionally,ahigher

pressurecouldbe necessary,forexampleto usethe

toolwith different speciesofharderwood. In thesemore

difficultcases,the compressed airpressurecan be

increased up to 100 psi(6.9 bar).It isveryimportant not

to exceed thismaximumpressureto prevent leaksand

riskofdamage to the tool.

The toolmaybe fitted with the optionalP-055 pressure

releasevalve. thisvalvewill producealoud noiseifthe

maximumairpressure isexceeded.

Checkthe compressed airsupplyhosebefore

connecting to ensurethat theyarefree fromdirtor

particlesthat can alterthe performanceofthe tool.Pay

specialattention to anyairleaks.Afterassembly,check

all the connectionsto prevent the leaksand to have

LOADING THE TOOL

Pull backthe pushercompletelyinthe rearposition and

applydownwardpressureto engage itinto the locking

position. Drop stripsofstaplesthrough the slot intop of

magazine. Whilepulling backand applying upward

pressure, releasethe pusherfrom itslocking position.

Then, gentlyallowitto moveforwardto engage the

staplesinto the magazine. The slide must be released

slowlyto prevent damage. Formaximumperformance,

alwaysuse Primatech staples.

USE ONLY 15½GA 1/2"-CROWN

OTHERTYPE OF FASTENERSWILL DAMAGE

THETOOL.FORMAXIMUMPERFORMANCE,

ALWAYSUSE PRIMATECH STAPLES.

Alwaysoperate the toolwith staplesinfeederchannel.

staples.

OPERATION

Placethe toolonto the subflooring, unload tooland

connectthe hose. Afterloading the toolwith PRIMATECH

staples,thePNEUMATICSTAPLER modelP260 isreadyfor

use.

position the boards.Usethe

steelwith caution to prevent

damage to the boards.

Press the flooring firmlyin

place. The lipofthe plastic

baseP-433 shouldrest

snuglyagainstthe tongue of

the flooring. Downwardpressureshould

be applied to ensureproperseating of

the staple. Toactivate the tool,strike

lightlythe head cap P-601 with the RUBBERFACE ofthe

2.5 lbs(1.1 kg)hammersupplied with the tool. Never

strike thetoolwith the metal end of the hammer. If

wood isslightlytwisted, hitting the toolwith more force

will assistinpulling the boardup snugly. NEVER strike

the head cap when the toolisnot sitting on the working

surface.

could cause severe eye injury.

In some environments, earprotec-

tion might be required, asworking

CLEANING THE VALVE

Dirt, dustorotherparticles,oreven waterinthe tool

mayimpede the cycling ofthe valveassembly.Toclean

the head and valveassembly,removethe six(6)screws

P-015 and takethe head assemblyoff the tool.Pull out

the main valve assemblyP-543.

Totakethe actuatorP-642 and itscap P-644 apart, rest

the assemblyonto aflat surface, insertthe long armof

an Allen wrenchthrough the top holeofthe actuatorand

gentlytap on it to unclickboth parts.

It isgenerallynot necessaryto removethe head cap

P-601. Checkall sealsand replaceifnecessary.Clean

the interiorand lightlylubricate with non-detergent oil

P-090. Othertypesoflubricant maydegrade the seals.

Ifcareistaken,the gasket P-107 shouldrequireonly

infrequent replacement.

ASSEMBLING THE VALVE

Thistoolfeaturesaredesigned valveassembly.All its

componentscan be assembled togetherwithout the

need ofascreworanytool;simplywith asnap-in

action. The wholeassemblycan nowbe simply

pulled-out ofthe head, making maintenance easier.

1.0First, makesurethat all componentshaveall their

sealsinstalled.

2.Insertthe actuatorP-642 iinto the mainvalveP-543

and snap the actuatorcap P-644 into the actuator.

The actuatorassemblyshould slide smoothly.

3. Make surethe head P-506 isclean and lightlylubricated

and insert the valve assemblyintoit.

4.Ensurethat the diskP-601Aiscompletelysnapped

into the head cap P-601. Snap head cap onto the

head P-506. It isusuallynot necessaryto remove

head cap formaintenance.

REPLACING THE DRIVING BLADE

1.Checkto partlistto orderthe right replacement

driving blade.

2.Removethe sixP-015 screwsand takeoff the head

assemblyP-506. It isusuallyeasierto replacethe

driving blade byopening the toolfromthe top;

although insomecasesitmaybe necessaryto

access the componentsbyremoving the base

assemblyP-235.

3.Ifthe piston hasfewthreadson itstop face, use

one ofthe P-015 screwsto pull itout thepiston.

You mayalso insert the replacement driving blade

into the gate/foot guide at the bottomof the toolto

push the piston out.

4.Removeanydebrisand disposeofthe broken

driving blade and screw.Atthistimeassess

condition ofcylinderP-518. Ifscratched, usearat-

tail fileto smooth out walls.The piston mustbe

allowed to move without restriction.

5.Lockthe piston inavise, using arag to prevent

scoring. Followthe instructionssupplied with the

replacement driving blade.

6.Reverse the orderofinstructionsto reassemble.
