Frequently Asked Questions - D51275K DEWALT

How to load staples into the double load magazine?

Make sure the tool is connected to the air supply. Insert the staples into the loading slot at the back of the magazine, then pull the nail pusher back so it goes behind the staples. You can also lock the pusher in the rear position, load the staples, then unlock by pushing forward.

How to clear a jammed staple?

Disconnect the air hose and lock the trigger. Lock the pusher in the rear position, release the front latch and bracket to open the barrel. Remove the bent staple using pliers if necessary. If the blade is in the down position, push it up with a screwdriver. Close the barrel and replace the bracket.

How to adjust the driving depth?

Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before adjustment. Press the adjustment button located on the nosepiece and slide the switch up to increase depth, or down to decrease it.

What oil to use for lubrication?

Use DeWALT pneumatic tool oil or standard pneumatic oil. Apply 5-7 drops into the air fitting on the tool end cap daily.

What types of staples are compatible with the D51275K?

The D51275K accepts staples 32 to 65 mm in length, with a wire diameter of 1.8 mm (15 gauge) and a 34° angle.

How to change the firing mode (sequential/bump)?

Disconnect the air hose and remove all staples from the magazine. Remove the rubber cap and pin, then disassemble the trigger assembly. Replace with the gray trigger (sequential) or black trigger (bump) and reassemble in reverse order.

What safety precautions to take during use?

Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Never point the tool at yourself or others. Use only clean, dry compressed air, never oxygen or combustible gases. Disconnect the tool when not in use.

How to clean the tool?

Regularly clean the magazine, pusher, and contact surface mechanism with compressed air. Drain all condensation from compressor tanks and hoses. Ensure all fasteners are tightened.

What air pressure to use?

The recommended working pressure is 4.9 to 8.3 bar. Never exceed 8.3 bar. Ensure the supply pressure cannot exceed the tool's maximum pressure by more than 10%.

What to do if the tool does not work in cold weather?

Keep the tool as warm as possible before use. Disconnect the air hose, put 5-10 drops of pneumatic tool oil (or winter oil containing ethylene glycol) into the air inlet. Set the pressure to 5.5 bar max, reconnect, load staples, and run the tool 5-6 times into scrap wood before increasing to normal pressure.
