operated at 70-100 PSI using clean,  
dry, regulated, compressed air. Do not  
exceed the 120 PSI maximum operating  
pressure for your model.  
Before using your new stapler, regulate  
the air pressure to find the optimum  
setting within the specified operating  
range. Start by testing the stapler at  
a low setting, then increase the air  
pressure as needed for satisfactory  
results.  
Exceeding the maximum permissible  
operating pressure may damage the  
stapler and cause it to malfunction.  
To protect yourself from personal  
injury, DONOTallowtheairpressure  
to exceed the recommended  
pressure for this stapler!  
An in-line filter/lubricator/regulator unit,  
can be installed as depicted in Figure 1.  
This filter/lubricator/regulator unit  
will protect your tool from damaging  
water build-up, allow you to adjust and  
maintain regulated air pressure to your  
tool, and save you the inconvenience of  
having to manually lubricate your tool  
every time you use it.  
If you plan on installing a filter/  
lubricator/regulator unit in your  
compressed air system, always follow the  
connection instructions that come with  
the unit.

— If the stapler fires when the trig-  
ger is pulled, without the safety  
nose mechanism being depressed,  
then the stapler is not working  
properly.  
Safety Nose Mechanism  
A safety mechanism on the nose of  
the stapler protects against accidental  
firing. When the trigger is pressed, the  
stapler will not fire until the safety nose  
mechanism is depressed.  
— If you find that the safety nose  
mechanism is not working prop-  
erly, check the lubrication of its  
sliding components.  
Before you use your stapler for the first  
time, check the safety nose mechanism  
to ensure proper function.  
To check the safety nose mechanism,  
do these steps:  
Do not attempt to modify or bypass  
the safety nose mechanism to make  
the stapler fire without pushing the  
nose down.  
1. DISCONNECT STAPLER FROM THE AIR  
SUPPLY!  
2. Make sure the magazine is empty and  
contains no staples.  
3. Make sure the trigger and the safety  
nose mechanism move up and down  
without sticking.  
The safety mechanism is a mechanical  
device that can fail. Never rely on this  
mechanism as an excuse to point the  
stapler at yourself or any bystanders.  
Serious injury may occur.  
4. Connect the stapler to the air supply.  
5. Without pressing the trigger,  
depress the safety nose mechanism  
against a scrap piece of wood that is  
clean and free of any knots, staples,  
or other foreign objects.  
— If the stapler does not fire, then  
the safety nose mechanism is  
working correctly.  
Operating this stapler can propel  
objectsintotheair,causingimmediate  
eye damage. To protect yourself,  
always wear ANSI approved safety  
glasses or goggles when operating this  
equipment.  
— If the stapler does fire when you  
do this, immediately disconnect  
the stapler from the air supply and  
call Technical Support.

staple point of entry. A staple can  
deflect and tear through the surface  
of the workpiece, puncturing your  
hand or fingers.  
at a time.  
To operate your stapler in single fire  
mode, do these steps:  
1. Depress the safety nose mechanism  
against the workpiece.  
Deflection is caused when grain  
irregularities, knots or foreign objects  
inside the wood cause the staple  
to change its path, resulting in the  
staple puncturing the surface of the  
workpiece, as shown in Figure 5.  
2. Pull the trigger, then release the  
trigger after the staple is driven.  
Clearing Jammed  
Staples  
Besides damaging your workpiece,  
deflection can cause injury if your  
free hand is securing the workpiece in  
the location that the staple deflects.  
A jammed staple must be cleared before  
using the stapler again.  
To clear a jammed staple from the dis-  
charge area, do these steps:  
1. DISCONNECT STAPLER FROM THE AIR  
SUPPLY!  
2. Unlock the catch lever and slide the  
magazine pusher all the way back.  
3. Remove the staple stick from the  
magazine.  
Figure 5. Example of staple deflection.  
5. Pull the trigger.  
4. Flip the quick release latch, as shown  
in Figure 6, and open the cover.  
— If the staple drove into the wood  
far enough, continue with your  
intended operations.  
Cover  
Discharge  
Area  
— If the staple either went too far  
or not far enough, then adjust the  
air pressure. More air pressure  
will increase staple depth, less  
air pressure will decrease staple  
depth.

4. Remove the cap.  
7. Inspect the staple stick. If it is bent  
or damaged, throw it away and insert  
a new stick that only contains clean,  
undamaged staples. DO NOT use dirty  
or damaged staples!  
5. The top of the piston should now be  
visible inside the cylinder, which is  
housed in the head of the stapler.  
6. Open the nose cover as if to clear a  
jammed staple.  
8. Slide the magazine forward until the  
catch lever engages.  
7. Watch the discharge area and push  
the top of the piston with your  
finger. You will see the piston shaft  
slide down the discharge area.  
Replacing Pistons/  
O-Rings  
Under heavy use, a piston or piston shaft  
may wear out. Replacement is quick and  
easy. Contact your authorized Shop Fox  
dealer to obtain the Piston Repair Kit  
(part number X1778002).  
8. Taking care not to scratch or dent the  
stapler parts, use a wooden dowel  
or similarly shaped tool to push the  
piston shaft back inside the stapler  
until you can grip the piston head and  
remove it from the cylinder. Clean  
and inspect the parts for cracks,  
wear, or burrs.  
9. Place a new O-ring on the new piston  
and apply a thin film of the stapler  
lubricating oil on the O-ring.  
10. Insert the new piston in the cylinder.  
Make sure that the grooves on the  
piston shaft line up with those on the  
guide at the bottom of the cylinder.  
The new piston should easily slide  
into the cylinder. DO NOT force the  
piston into the cylinder! If the piston  
is not easily inserted, double-check  
the alignment of the piston shaft with  
the grooves on the guide.  
Always disconnect stapler from  
air whenever servicing! During  
maintenance, a stapler connected  
to air may fire accidentally, causing  
serious personal injury!  
To replace a piston, do these steps:  
11. After the piston is inserted correctly,  
close the magazine. Replace the rear  
cap assembly and tighten the four  
cap screws.  
1. DISCONNECT STAPLER FROM THE AIR  
SUPPLY!  
2. Remove all staples from the  
magazine cartridge, and clean the  
exterior of the stapler.  
12. For more assistance, or to install a  
complete O-ring set, refer to the  
appropriate breakdown diagram in  
the back of this manual for O-ring  
locations.  
3. Remove the four cap screws on the  
back of the stapler, near the exhaust  
port.

CLEANING & LUBRICATION  
Cleaning  
Lubricating  
Disconnect the stapler from the air  
supply before cleaning. Use a good  
solvent to clean the nose assembly of the  
stapler. Always be sure that the stapler is  
dry before using it again.  
Standard pneumatic tool oil has been  
included with your new Shop Fox stapler  
to help maintain its useful life. Place two  
to three drops of oil in the stapler air  
inlet (as shown in Figure 7) before every  
use, or after 2 hours of continuous use.  
Do not allow dust, chips, sand, etc.  
into the air connectors or into the body  
of the stapler; this may result in leaks  
and damage to the stapler and the air  
couplings.  
Figure 7. Lubricating stapler via air inlet.  
Wipe off any excess oil near the stapler  
exhaust to avoid dust build-up. When the  
oil that was included with the stapler has  
been completely used, replace with a  
quality pneumatic tool oil.  
An alternative to manual oiling is to  
install a lubricator in your air compressor  
line. A lubricator eliminates the need to  
oil your tool each time you use it. If you  
have a lubricator in your air compressor  
line, ensure it is functioning properly.  
Never use gasoline or other  
flammable liquids to clean this  
tool. Vapors in the tool may ignite,  
causing the tool to explode. Ignoring  
this warning may lead to serious  
personal injury or even death!
