TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURIES:
DESCRIPTION
The PowerStapler
®
Model 445 FS Mallet
Actuated Pneumatic Stapler is designed to
bring Powernail quality to a pneumatic stapler.
For those looking for the ease of use of a
pneumatic tool, the Powernailer Model 445FS
provides several distinct advantages. Like
our Model 45 and 445, the Model 445FS can
staple down 1/2”, 3/4” and 33/32” tongue and
groove hardwood ooring through the use of
easy-to-change, no-mar adapter plates. The
Model 445FS stapler is designed for use with
1-1/2”, 1-3/4” and 2” PowerStaples
®
.
To use the Model 445FS, simply snug up
the ooring with the rubber mallet, pull
the safety trigger and tap the plunger with
the rubber capped mallet end and let the
Stapler drive and set the staple at the
correct 45 degree angle.
Always wear approved front and side EYE
PROTECTION when operating this Stapler.
Others in the work area should also wear front
and side EYE PROTECTION. Eye protection
will help guard against ying staples and debris,
which could cause severe eye injury.
EAR PROTECTION may be required to prevent
hearing damage when there are high noise
levels in the work area.
Always DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY
before making any adjustments, repairing,
clearing jams or when the Stapler is not in use.
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.
Use only regulated compressed air, do not use
bottled gases of any kind to power this Stapler.
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.
THE TRIGGER IS A SAFETY DEVICE and
should only be pulled when the Stapler is in
proper position on the work surface and before
the plunger is struck with the mallet. Do not tie
or tape down the safety trigger as the Stapler
could discharge if dropped on the plunger. The
Stapler will not re unless the trigger is pulled
before the mallet blow.
Do not use the trigger safety as a lock up for
the plunger then rack the wood using the locked
up Stapler body. It will severely damage the
mechanism and the Stapler. Use the mallet to
rack the wood strip, not the Stapler.
DO NOT USE THE METAL END OF THE
MALLET TO STRIKE THE PLUNGER, use the
rubber capped end only.
Never place any part of the body in the
discharge path of the Stapler when air is
connected to the Stapler. Always make sure
Stapler is empty of staples before connecting air
hose so as to prevent any accidental discharge
from occurring.
Never leave the Stapler unattended while it is
connected to an air supply.
