Power Fist 8052391 Manuel Du Propriétaire page 3

Specifications
• Fasteners: 15-1/2 gauge, 1/2" crown staples from 1-1/2" to 2" long
• Magazine capacity: 60 fasteners
• Operating pressure: 70 to 100 PSI
• Max pressure: 120 PSI
• Air consumption: 0.5 CFM per staple, 30 staples a minute @ 80 PSI.
Note: Take the actual rate at which the tool will be run to determine the amount of air required. For instance, if
your fastener usage averages 15 fasteners per minute, you need 50% of the tool's CFM requirement of
free air to run the tool at 30 fasteners per minute.
Operation
Caution: This flooring stapler was designed for use in installing unfinished hardwood flooring. It can be used
to install pre-finished flooring, however caution must be used to ensure that the finish is not damaged
by the tool. It is recommended that the tool be tested on a sample section to be certain that the
technique of use does not leave marks on the finish. This procedure should be followed before each
job due to variations in flooring and tool condition.
Air supply and connections
Fittings: Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing and will release air pressure from the tool when
disconnected from the supply source.
Hoses: Air hoses should have a minimum of 150 PSI working pressure rating, or 1.5 times the maximum
pressure that could be produced in the air system. The supply hose should contain a fitting that will
provide quick disconnecting from the male plug on the tool.
Supply source: Use only clean, regulated compressed air as a power source for this tool Do NOT use oxygen,
combustible gas, or bottled gas as a power source for this tool, as tool may explode.
Regulator: A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of 0 to 125 PSI is required to control the operating
pressure for safe operation of this tool.
Operating Pressure: Do not exceed recommended maximum operating pressure of 120 PSI as tool wear will be
greatly increased. The air supply must be capable of maintaining the operating pressure at
the tool. Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool's driving power. Desired
operating pressure is between 70 and 100 PSI.
Filter: Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of wear in pneumatic tools. A filter will help to get the
best performance and minimum wear from the tool. The filter must have adequate flow capacity for the
specific installation. The filter has to be kept clean to be effective in providing clean compressed air to
the tool. Consult the manufacturer's instructions on proper maintenance of your filter. A dirty and
clogged filter will cause a pressure drop that will reduce the tool's performance.
Lubrication
Frequent lubrication is required for best performance. Oil added through the air line connection will lubricate
the internal parts. Use a good quality air tool oil. Do not use detergent oil or additives as these will cause
accelerated wear to the seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor performance and frequent need for
maintenance.
If an inline oiler is not used, add oil during use into the air fitting on the tool once or twice a day. Only a few
drops at a time are necessary. Too much oil will collect inside the tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust
cycle.
