CONNECTION & AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM
To ensure maximum performance and efficiency, and also a minimum of care, this PRIMATECH
pneumatic stapler requires clean, dry air. It is necessary to use a filter and a pressure regulator.
This tool needs a detachable male coupler with 1/4" NPT male treads. The use of a 1/4" (1 cm)
diameter air supply hose is recommended. A smaller hose or a hose longer than 50' (15 m) could
cause a pressure drop when the tool is activated repeatedly.
ALWAYS USE A FREE-FLOW CONNECTION FOR THE COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY TO PRE-
VENT THAT THE TOOL STAYS CHARGED AFTER DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY HOSE.
UNLOAD TOOL BEFORE CONNECTING AIR TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE.
AFTER MOVING TOOL TO A DIFFERENT WORK AREA, OR AFTER ANY MAINTENANCE TO
THE TOOL, ALWAYS ENSURE PROPER OPERATION BY ACTUATING TOOL SEVERAL TIMES
WITHOUT FASTENERS OVER THE SUBFLOORING .
Dirt, dust, and other particles in the air supply can cause sluggish operation or premature wear of
many components of the tool. Drain water from the compressor tank regularly. The compressor
start-stop limits should be set to deliver an air pressure of at least 100 psi (7 bar) at all time.
Consult the compressor manual or dealer for instructions on how to make this adjustment.
This tool is designed to be operated with a compressed air pressure of 70 to 120 psi (5-8 bar).
Always use the tools at minimum operating pressure in order to avoid unnecessary high noise
level. A higher pressure could be necessary, for example to use the tool with different species of
harder wood. In these more difficult cases, the compressed air pressure can be increased up to
120 psi (8.0 bar). It is very important not to exceed this maximum pressure to prevent leaks,
premature wear or damages to the tool.
Check the compressed air supply hose before connecting to ensure that they are free from dirt or
particles that can alter the performance of the tool. Pay special attention to any air leaks. Do not
use a compressed air pressure higher than 120 psi (8 bar). Higher pressure can cause premature
wear or damage to certain components. After assembly, check all the connections to prevent the
leaks and to have maximum efficiency.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE TO THE FINISHED SURFACE OF THE INSTALLED
FLOOR, REST THE TOOL ONTO THE SUBFLOORING WHEN CONNECTING AIR, LOADING
TOOL OR PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE TO THE TOOL.
LOADING THE TOOL
Press the latch mechanism and pull back to fully open the
magazine unit. Load the fasteners from beneath into the
magazine. Close the magazine by pushing forward until
latch is engage.
USE ONLY THE TYPE OF FASTENERS
IDENTIFIED ON THE MASAZINE. THE USE OF
ANY OTHER TYPE OF FASTENERS WILL DAMAGE
THE TOOL.
