WARNING! The connector on the stapler
must not hold pressure when air supply is
disconnected. If a wrong fitting is used, the
stapler can remain charged with air after
disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a
fastener even after the air line is disconnected,
possibly causing injury.
WARNING! Do not pull trigger or depress
contact arm while connected to the air supply
as the stapler may cycle, possibly causing
injury.
WARNING! Always disconnect air supply.
In addition to the other warnings contained in this
manual, observe the following for safe operation:
• Use the Bostitch
pneumatic stapler only for the
®
purpose for which it was designed.
WARNING! When working on air tools, note the
warnings in this manual and use extra care
evaluating problem tools.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
• Bostitch® replacement parts are recommended. Do
not use modified parts or parts which will not give
equivalent performance to the original equipment.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR SEALS
• When repairing a stapler, make sure the internal
parts are clean and lubricated. Use Parker O-LUBE
or equivalent on all O-Rings. Coat each O-Ring
with O-Lube before assembling. Use a small amount
of oil on all moving surfaces and pivots. After
reassemble add a few drops of Bostitch Air Tool
Lubricant through the air line fitting before sealing.

SAFETY WARNINGS CONTINUED
MAINTENANCE
• Never use this stapler in a manner that could cause
a fastener to be directed toward the user or others in
the work area.
• Do not use the stapler as a hammer.
• Always carry the stapler by the handle. Never carry
the stapler by the air hose.
• Do not alter or modify this stapler from the original
design or function without approval from Bostitch Inc.
• Always be aware that misuse and improper handling
of this stapler can cause injury to yourself and others.
• Never leave unattended with the air hose attached.
• Do not operate this stapler if it does not have a
legible WARNING LABEL.
• Do not continue to use a stapler that leaks air or
does not function properly. Notify Uline if your stapler
continues to experience functional problems.
AIR SUPPLY - PRESSURE AND VOLUME
• Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air
volume supplied to the stapler may be inadequate
due to undersized fittings and hoses or from the
effects of dirt and water in the system. Restricted
air flow will prevent the stapler from receiving an
adequate volume of air even though the pressure
reading is high. The result will be slow operation,
misfeeds or reduced driving power.
Before evaluating stapler problems for these
symptoms, trace the air supply from the stapler to
the supply source for restrictive connectors, swivel
fittings, low points containing water or anything else
that would prevent full volume flow of air to
the stapler.
