  5. Press the work contact element against the work piece. A nail will be driven.

  6. The tool must be allowed to recoil away from the workpiece.

  7. Move the tool along the work piece with a bouncing motion. Each time the work contact element is depressed a nail will be driven.

  8. As soon as the desired number of nails has been driven, remove finger from trigger.freeman gauge stapler fig 8
    Note : This actuation mode is recommended when less precise nail placement is required. Extreme care should be taken because a nails will be driven when the work contact element is pressed against any surface. Since the tool can be actuated without removing the finger from the trigger, this is considered to be a less restrictive mode, suitable for more experienced users.
    WARNING : Remove the finger from the trigger when not driving nails. Always carry the tool by the handle only.

    • The tool must be allowed to recoil away from the workpiece. Do not drive a nail on top of another nail.
    • During normal use the tool will recoil immediately after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of the tool. Do not attempt to A prevent the recoil by holding the tool work. Restriction of the recoil can result in a second fastener being driven from the tool. Grip the handle firmly and let the tool do the work. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
    • Always know the operational mode of the tool before using it. Failure to know the operational mode could result in death or serious personal injury.

Maintenance

WARNING : Any time inspection, maintenance, and cleaning are done:

  1. Disconnect the tool from the air source.
  2. Empty the magazine completely.

ANTI-DUST CAP
Each tool is packed with an anti-dust cap on the air connector, check it after unpacking. Keep the anti-dust cap cover on the air connector when the tool is not in use.

LUBRICATION
Lubrication is required for best performance after long periods use. Oil for pneumatic fastening tools is added through the air line connection and will lubricate internal parts.

  1. Disconnect the air supply from the tool to add the lubricant. freeman gauge stapler fig 9
  2. Turn the tool so the air inlet is facing up. Place 2 – 3 drops of pneumatic fastening tool oil into air inlet. Do not use detergent oils, oil additives, or air-tool oils as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent tool maintenance.
  3. After adding oil, connect the tool to the air source, run tool briefly. Wipe off any excess oil from the cap exhaust.freeman gauge stapler fig 11
    CAUTION : Lubricate tool with specified lubricants.

CLEANING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and maybe damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirts, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING : Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-b ased products, penetration oils, ect. come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation. We recommend the use of air tool lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
CAUTION : Do not store tools in a cold weather environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the tool’s operating valves and mechanisms that could cause tool failure.

Recommended hookup

  1. The air compressor must be able to maintain a minimum of 70 psi when the tool is being used. An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and inconsistent driving.
  2. An oiler can be used to provide oil circulation through the tool. A filter can be used to remove liquid and solid impurities which can rust or gum up internal parts of the tool.
  3. Always use air supply hoses with a minimum working pressure rating equal to or greater than the pressure from the power source if a regulator fails, or 150 psi, whichever is greater. Use 3/8 in. air hose for runs up to 50 ft. and use a 3/8 in. quick coupler on the air hose.
  4. Use a pressure regulator on the compressor, with an operating pressure of 0-125 psi. A pressure regulator is required to control the operating pressure of the tool between 70 and 110 psi.
    CAUTION : The air compressor must be able to maintain a minimum of 70 psi when the tool is being used. An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and inconsistent driving.
    WARNING : Do not connect with air compressor which can potentially exceed 200 psi. As tool may burst, possibly causing injury.freeman gauge stapler
