SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When operating this stapler, the operator and others in the work area should ALWAYS wear approved SAFETY GLASSES, with front and side eye protection (i.e. OSHA required iZ87i safety glasses). Eye protection will help guard against fl ying staples and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.

EAR PROTECTION should be used to prevent hearing damage when there are high noise levels in the work area. ALWAYS use ear plugs with a noise reduction rated at 29 db or higher at a construction site.

Never place any part of the body in the discharge path of the carpet tacker when air is connected to the stapler. Never point the tool at yourself or others, even if the tool is not loaded. Never leave the carpet tacker unattended while it is plugged in to an air source. For safety, keep tools locked up and out of reach of children.

To prevent accidental misfire, always DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY before making any adjustments, repairing, clearing jams or when the stapler is not in use. Do not use on scaffolding or ladders and disconnect stapler from air supply when transporting between installation areas.

Never attach the female end of a quick disconnect to the stapler. This will trap air inside the stapler and permit it to be discharged. Only the unrestricted male connection should be attached to the stapler.

Stapler requires an air source that can continuously deliver 70 to 120 psi at 3-1/2 cubic feet of air per minute for operation.

Normal air pressure should not exceed 120 psi or damage to the stapler and seals may occur. Excess air pressure can cause the stapler to explode.

To prevent fire or explosion, use only regulated compressed air—do not use bottled gases of any kind (no oxygen or combustible gasses) to power this stapler.

Use only Powernail replacement parts in the repair or maintenance of this carpet tacker. Parts or repair services are available from the manufacturer or from agents authorized by the manufacturer. Repairs should be carried out only by trained service personnel in the fi eld of fastener driving tools who will observe proper safety controls while performing maintenance. Service personnel should be qualified to assess the safe working condition of fastener driving tools.

When not in use, the tool should be cleaned, fully assembled and then stored in a dry location. This will extend the life of the tool and reduce any oxidation. Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite injuries. Dress properly. Be sure not to wear clothing or jewelry that may get caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

Keep work area well lit. Keep children away and visitors away from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool. Do not operate tool when you are tired. Always stay alert and watch what you are doing.

OPERATION

The Powernail PowerTacker™ is designed for use with 9/16" long staples with a 3/16" crown.

APPLICATIONS

Carpet and Carpet Pad Installation

3. Keeping a firm grip, pull up and hold the safety trigger to activate the firing trigger.

OPERATION, continued...

CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY

Your air tool is fully assembled when you receive it. Before using it, attach the air line and desired air system accessories. Be sure the air hose is depressurized when installing or removing adapters to the air line. To prevent misfi re, do not connect air to a loaded nailer.

QUICK CONNECTOR AIR HOSE

Figure 1

1. An automatic airline oilier is recommended but oil may be added manually before every operation or after about 1 hour of continuous use.
2. Place two (2) drops of air-tool oil (figure 2) into the air plug at the rear of the stapler. If you are using an automatic in-line oiler, check and add oil if necessary.
3. Turn your compressor on and set the compressors pressure regulator to the proper pressure for the size and type of fastener being used. Normal operating pressure should be adjusted between 70-120 psi.
4. Connect the tool to the air supply (Figure 1).

OPERATING TIPS

Before using this tool, carefully check that all parts are working correctly. Do not use the tool if it is not operating correctly, check for causes and adjust as necessary for proper operation.

Secure your work. Use clamps or a vise to hold your work project in place. It is safer than using your hands and it frees both hands to operate tool.

Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with tool at too steep of an angle; the fasteners may ricochet and injure someone.

Do not drive fasteners too close to the edge of the work surface. The work piece is likely to split and the fastener could fly free or ricochet and injure someone.

Do not fire into hard materials or attempt to use on hard or brittle materials such as concrete, steel or tile.

LOADING STAPLES

1. Hold the tool upside down, and depress the magazine latch. Pull back on the magazine cover.

2. Insert a strip of fasteners into the magazine. Make sure the crown of the fasteners are resting in the magazine.

3. Push the magazine cover forward until the latch catches.
