Preparation
If stapler has been stored in a cold environment, bring it to a warm area and allow it to warm
up before using.
STAPLE LOADING
• Make sure Stapler is disconnected from Air Supply.
• Only use the proper size and type of staple with this stapler, as specified under "Staples".
• Depress the Track Release Lever to release the spring-loaded Staple Magazine; slide the
magazine out (back) as far as it will go.
• Turn the stapler upside down. Place a full strip of staples into the staple magazine, with
the staple points facing upward (away from the tool). Slide the Staple Magazine closed
until the Track Release Lever snaps back into place with a click. (Closing the staple
magazine while staples are loaded engages the spring-load mechanism, so it will take
slightly more pressure to slide the magazine closed.)
STAPLER USE
PT50 features contact safety; as a result trigger needs to be firmly depressed against surface
for effective use. Once contact safety is effectively depressed against surface,
pull trigger to drive staple. PT50 does offer "bump fire" capability, for quick firing.
To utilize effectively, keep trigger pressed down and firmly depress contact safety.
Repeat if necessary.
MAINTENANCE
• Disconnect the air hose from the stapler.
• Remove all staples from the staple magazine of the stapler.
• Place several drops of oil (included in case) into the air inlet.
• Shut off air compressor and drain any moisture from the compressor tank.
• Drain the air line filter; clean the filter element, then blow air in opposite direction to
remove any dirt/debris.
• Keep lubricator filled with oil (included in case).
CLEARING STAPLE JAMS
• Disconnect the air hose from the stapler.
• Carefully remove staple strip from staple magazine.
• Remove any remaining loose staples from inside the staple magazine, using pliers to
grasp the staples, if necessary.
• Once jammed staples have been removed, reload stapler.
