• Never place a hand or any other part of the body in fastener discharge area of tool while the air supply isconnected.

• Never actuate the tool unless nose is directed at the work.

• Do not actuate the tool while loading.

• Keep hands and body parts away from the discharge area of the tool. While in use NEVER grasp the tool by the magazine or canister, a mis‑driven fastener can exit the nose causing injury.

• Drive fasteners into work surface only.

• When working close to an edge of a workpiece or at steep angles use care to minimize chipping, splitting or splintering, or free flight or ricochet of fasteners, which may cause injury.

• Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep angle as this may cause deflection of fasteners which could causeinjury.

• Do not load tool with fasteners when any one of the operating controls is activated.

• Use extra caution when driving fasteners into existing walls or other blind areas to prevent contact with hidden objects or persons on other side (e.g., wires, pipes.)

• The operator must not pull the trigger except during fastening operation as serious injury could result if the tool accidentally contacts someone or something, causing the tool to cycle.

• Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. The tool may bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be driven possibly causinginjury.

• Check operation of the trigger mechanism frequently. Do not use the tool if the trigger is not working correctly as accidental driving of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the proper operation of the trigger mechanism.

• Never inadvertently pull or grasp the trigger when moving about, changing work location, when holstering or hanging tool, or when preparing work surface for fasteningoperation.

• This tool produces SPARKS during operation. NEVER use the tool near flammable substances, gases or vapors including lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline, adhesives, mastics, glues or any other material that is ‑‑ or the vapors, fumes or byproducts of which are ‑‑ flammable, combustible or explosive. Using the fastenerer in any such environment could cause an EXPLOSION resulting in personal injury or death to user andbystanders.

WARNING: After driving a fastener, tool may

bounce back (“recoil”) causing it to move away from the work surface. To reduce risk of injury always manage recoil by:

• Always maintaining control of tool.

• Allowing recoil to move tool away from worksurface.

• Not resisting recoil such that tool will be forced back into the work surface. In “Contact Actuation Mode,” if workpiece contact is allowed to re‑contact work surface before the trigger is released, an unintended discharge of a fastener will occur.

• Keeping face and body parts away from tool.5 ENGLISH Adjustments and Usage Prep Air Supply and Connections

or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as tool may explode, possibly causing injury. Fittings (Fig. B) Install a male fitting

on the tool which is free flowing and which will release air pressure from the tool when disconnected from the supply source. Fitting Torque Specification Torque Specification for air fitting: 60-65 in-lbs (69-75cm-kgf). TOOL SPECIFICATIONS Model TS056 Length 8.67" (220 mm) Height 6.99" (178 mm) Width 1.81" (46 mm) Weight 2.3 lb (1.1 kg) SUGGESTED FASTENER SPECIFICATIONS Model TS056 Fastener Series Porter Cable PC700 Staples Porter Cable® PBN Brads Fastener Range 1/4"–9/16" (6 mm–14 mm) 12 mm–15mm (1/2"–5/8") Fastener Type 3/8" Crown Staple 18 Gauge Brad Nail Tool Air Fitting (Fig. B) This tool uses a free flow connecting plug 1/4" N.P.T.

The inside diameter should be .200" (5mm) or larger. The fitting must be capable of discharging tool air pressure when disconnected from the air supply

Operating Pressure 80 to 100p.s.i.g. (5.5 to 6.9kg/cm²). Select the operating pressure within this range for best pin performance. DONOT EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATINGPRESSURE. Air Consumption Model CMPCS38 requires 0.41 cubic feet per min (c.f.m.) of free air to operate at the rate of 100 fasteners per minute, at 100 p.s.i.g. (6.9 bars). Take the actual rate at which the tool will be run to determine the amount of air required. For instance, if your fastener usage averages 50 fasteners per minute, you need 50% of the tool’s c.f.m. of free air which is required for running at 100 fasteners per minute.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, turn unit off and remove air supply before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental actuation can causeinjury.

eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETYEQUIPMENT:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicalsare:

• lead from lead‑based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically‑treatedlumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopicparticles.

• Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmfulchemicals. Direct particles away from face andbody.

• Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the working environment or pose an increased health risk to the operator and those in closeproximity.

• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss ofcontrol andinjury.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in movingparts.ENGLISH

Air Supply‑Pressure and Volume Air volume is as important as air pressure.The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of undersize fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in the system.Restricted air flow will prevent the tool MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, turn unit off and remove air supply before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental actuation can causeinjury. Your PORTER-CABLE power tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regularcleaning. Tool Operation Check (Fig. A)

WARNING: remove all fasteners from tool before

performing tool operation check. Trigger Operation with a Secondary Trigger

WARNING: The trigger will only actuate the tool if the

secondary trigger has already been pulled. The secondary trigger

is located under the handle

The secondary trigger prevents the primary trigger

from actuating the tool if the secondary trigger has not been pulled first. Place the nose of the tool against a work piece for all of the following operation checks.

1. With hand on rear end of the handle, further back away

from the secondary trigger, and not squeezing the secondary trigger, use finger to pull the primary trigger. THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE.

2. With hand on handle, and squeezing the secondary

trigger, use finger to pull the primary trigger. THE TOOL MUST CYCLE. While the secondary trigger remains squeezed, the tool will cycle each time the primary trigger is pulled! Trigger Operation With a Secondary Trigger (Fig. A)

WARNING: Never inadvertently pull or grasp the

secondary trigger when moving about, changing work location, when holstering or hanging tool, or when preparing work surface for fastening operation.

WARNING: The operator must not hold the secondary

trigger pulled except during fastening operation as serious injury could result if the trigger accidentally contacts someone or something, causing the tool tocycle. When the secondary trigger

is pulled, the tool will actuate each time the primary trigger

is pulled. This trigger operated tool is operated by first pulling or grasping the secondary trigger under the hand grip, followed by pulling the trigger under the valve. Loading (Fig. E–H)

WARNING: Be careful when handling fasteners,

especially when loading and unloading, as the fasteners have sharp points.

1. Remove the air supply

from the 1/4" male fitting

2. Hold stapler upside down as shown and release loading

by pushing in the loading hatch release button

3. Draw the loading hatch from the tool.

4. Place one stick of staples in bottom channel so legs are

pointing up. Push loading hatch closed, making sure the loading hatch release button engages.

5. For brad nails, place only on left side (direction as shown

on the magazine liner). Be sure nail heads are pointing down. Push loading hatch closed, making sure the loading hatch release button engages. Proper Hand Position (Fig. D)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,

ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a suddenreaction. Proper hand position requires one hand on the handle

After driving a fastener, this tool may spring back (“recoil”). OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, turn unit off and remove air supply before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental actuation can causeinjury. Hoses (Fig. B) Air hoses should have a minimum of 150 p.s.i.g.(10.6kg/cm²) working pressure rating or 150 percent of the maximum pressure that could be produced in the air system. The supply hose

should contain a fitting that will provide “quick disconnecting” from the male fitting

on the tool. Supply Source Use only clean regulated compressed air as a power source for this tool. NEVER USE OXYGEN, COMBUSTIBLE GASES, OR BOTTLED GASES, AS A POWER SOURCE FOR THIS TOOL AS TOOL MAY EXPLODE. Regulator A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of 0–125p.s.i.g. (0–8.79 kg/cm²) is required to control the operat iing pressure for safe operation of this tool. Do not connect this tool to air pressure which can potentially exceed 200 p.s.i.g. (14 kg/cm²) as tool may fracture or burst, possibly causing injury. Operating Pressure Do not exceed recommended maximum operating pressure as tool wear will be greatly increased. The air supply must be capable of maintaining the operating pressure at the tool. Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool’s driving power. Refer to Tool Specifications for setting the correct operating pressure for the tool.7 ENGLISH Three Year Limited Warranty PORTER-CABLE will repair or replace, without charge, any defects due to faulty materials or workmanship for three years from the date of purchase.
