WARNING! Always disconnect air supply:
• Before making adjustments.
• When servicing the stapler.
• When clearing a jam.
• When stapler is not in use.
• When moving to a different work area, as
accidental actuation may occur, possibly
causing injury.
REMOVING STUCK STAPLES
1.
Pull jam release lever to a 90º position. Hold coil of
staples to prevent movement and use a long nose
plier or a screwdriver to clear jam. (See Figure 9)
2. Carefully release lever to prevent staples from being
trapped between anvil and blade guide.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
IMPORTANT! Bostitch replacement parts
are recommended. Do not use modified
parts or parts which will not give equivalent
performance to the original equipment.

LUBRICATION
When repairing a stapler, ensure 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 reassembling, add a few
drops of Bostitch Air Tool Lubricant through the air line
fitting before sealing.
AIR SUPPLY
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.
