Specifications; Air Supply - Craftsman 351.181820 Operator's Manual

DESCRIPTION
The Craftsman Cable Stapler will securely fasten %9- 1/2" diam-
eter round cable and %2- 9/32" h igh x 1/2"maximum wide flat
wire. Drives specially configured staples that wilt not crush net-
work or coax cables. Die cast aluminum body with textured
grip minimizes operator fatigue. Large capacity, bottom loading
magazine with positive, quick action latch makes loading easy.
Fast cycle time increases productivity.

DANGER: Do not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, high-pressure
compressed gas or bottled gases as the power source for this
tool. The tool will explode and serious personal injury could
result.
• The air tool operates on compressed air at pressures from
60 to 100 PSI.
• Never connect the tool to air pressure which could poten-
tially exceed 200 PSI. Use only clean, dry, regulated air
within rated range as marked on toot.
Air Delivery Required: 0.94 SCFM @ 90 PSI
(30 shots per minute).
WARNING: Keep hands and body away from discharge area
of tool when connecting air supply. Always disconnect tool
from air supply when servicing or adjusting tool and when tool
is not in use.
• Air operated tools require clean, dry, lubricated com-
pressed air to ensure top performance, low maintenance
and long life.
• Dirt and abrasive materials present in all air lines will dam-
age tool O-rings, valves and cylinders.
• Moisture wilt reduce tool performance and life if not
removed from compressed air.
• A fitter-regulator-lubricator system is required and should be
located as close to tool as possible. A distance of less than
15 feet is recommended. Lubricator is not required for
oitless tools.
• Keep air filter clean. A dirty filter wilt reduce the air pressure
to the toot causing a reduction in power and efficiency.
• The air supply system must be able to provide air pressure
of 60 to 100 pounds per square inch at tool.
° All hoses and pipes in the air supply system must be clean
and free of moisture and foreign particles. Hoses must be
rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 PSI or 150%
of maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
° Do not mount swivel connector in air supply line.
° The air pressure should be properly regulated.
° Different workpiece materials and different fastener lengths
will require different operating pressure.
° Be sure all connections in air supply system are sealed to
prevent air loss.
° Never connect a female quick-disconnect coupling to the
tool side of air line connection. A male, flee-flow coupling
should be connected to the tool side of air line connection
(see Figure 1).
WARNING: The female coupling provides a seal preventing
loss of compressed air from compressor tank when discon-
nected from male coupling. If connected to tool side of air
supply, the female coupling could seal a compressed air
charge in the tool which could discharge if the tool trigger is
actuated.

LOADING
Refer to Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5 (page 4).
WARNING: Disconnect toot from air supply. Do not toad tool
until you are ready to use it. Do not pull trigger or depress
contact trip while loading toot. Always load with nose of tool
pointing away from you and others. Always wear safety gog-
gles that comply with United States ANSI Z87.1.
NOTE: For best results, use Sears fasteners only.
• Select the guide plate that corresponds to the size of cable
or wire that wilt be fastened. Slide guide plate into the
nose. A magnet holds the guide plate in position. The tool
is shipped with one guide plate in nose and two guide
plates stored inside end cover (see Figures 2 and 3, page
4).
