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.
Operation
APPLICATIONS
Including, but not limited to: insulation, roofing felt, house wrap, auto and marine vinyl
trim, cabinet felt, cabinet backs, screen door repair, small furniture, light trim, molding
and picture frames, and general staple use.
ADJUSTING THE EXHAUST
The adjustable exhaust on the cap of the tool allows users to direct
the exhaust according to operator preference. To adjust the direction,
turn the exhaust cap in the desired direction.
STAPLES
The Arrow PT50 Pneumatic Stapler is designed to use T50 heavy duty staples in size
1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", 17/32" and 9/16". For best results use genuine Arrow T50 staples.
AIR SUPPLY
This stapler is designed to operate on clean, dry, regulated compressed air, between
60 and 100 psi. It is preferable to include an air filter, pressure regulator, and automatic
oiler within 15 feet of the tool, if possible.
An air filter is needed to remove contaminates and moisture that are contained in
compressed air; filtering will significantly prolong the life of the tool. If an automatic
oiler is not installed, place 5 to 6 drops of oil into the tool's air inlet at the beginning of
each work day.
The staple gun comes factory-equipped with a male quick connector. The staple gun
must always be connected to the air supply with a coupling that removes all pressure
when it is disconnected.
NOTE: all components used with this staple gun (air hose, connectors, regulators,
filters, etc.) must be rated at 150 psi, OR 150% of the maximum compressor
potential, whichever is higher. Do not connect this staple gun to a system with
maximum potential air pressure greater than 200 psi.
