permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on
a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or
falling hazard. Some tools will stand upright but may
be easily knocked over.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.

SUGGESTED FASTENER SPECIFICATIONS
Model
Fastener Series STANLEY® TRA700 Staples
Fastener Range 1/4"–9/16"
(6 mm–14 mm)
Fastener Type 3/8" Crown
Tool Air Fitting
This tool uses a free flow connecting plug 1/4" N.P.T. The
inside diameter should be .200" (5 mm) or larger. The fitting
must be capable of discharging tool air pressure when
disconnected from the air supply.
Tools shall only be used with a fitting or hose coupling
attached in such a manner that all compressed air in tool
is discharged at the time the fitting or hose coupling
is disconnected.

Operating Pressure
70 to 100 p.s.i.g. (4.8 to 6.9 kg/cm²). Select the operating
pressure within this range for best pin performance. DO NOT
EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
Compressed air supply hoses shall have a minimum working
pressure rating equal to or greater than the pressure from
the power source if a regulator fails, or 150 p.s.i.g. (10.3 bar),
whichever is greater.
Air Consumption
Model CMPCS38 requires 0.41 cubic feet per min (c.f.m.) of
free air to operate at the rate of 100 fasteners per minute,
at 100 p.s.i.g. (6.9 bars). 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 50 fasteners per
minute, you need 50% of the tool's c.f.m. of free air which is
required for running at 100 fasteners per minute.
Adjustments and Usage Prep
Air Supply and Connections

WARNING: Do not use oxygen, combustible
gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this
tool as tool may explode, possibly causing injury.
Fittings
Install a male fitting on the tool which is free flowing
and which will release air pressure from the tool when
disconnected from the supply source.
Fitting Torque specification
Torque Specification for air fitting: 60-65 in-lbs
(69- 75 cm-kgf).
hoses
Air hoses should have a minimum of 150
p.s.i.g.(10.6 kg/ cm²) working pressure rating or 150 percent
of 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 fitting
the tool.
supply source
Use only clean regulated compressed air as a power source
for this tool. NEVER USE OXYGEN, COMBUSTIBLE GASES, OR
BOTTLED GASES, AS A POWER SOURCE FOR THIS TOOL AS
TOOL MAY EXPLODE.
Regulator
A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of
0–125 p.s.i.g. (0–8.79 kg/cm²) is required to control the
operat iing pressure for safe operation of this tool. Do not
connect this tool to air pressure which can potentially
exceed 200 p.s.i.g. (14 kg/cm²) as tool may fracture or burst,
possibly causing injury.
Operating Pressure
Do not exceed recommended maximum operating pressure
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. Refer to Tool Specifications for setting the
correct operating pressure for the tool.
