Loading; Stapling Operation - Craftsman 351.184060 Operator's Manual

° All hoses and pipes in the air supply system must be clean
and free of moisture and foreign particles.
° 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, free-flow coupling
should be connected to the tool side of air line connection.
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 & 5 (pages 3 and 6).
WARNING: Disconnect tool from air supply. Always load with
nose of tool pointing away from you and others. Always wear
safety goggles that comply with United States ANSI Z87.1.
NOTE: For best results use Sears fasteners only.
• Slide pusher (Fig. 5, No. 52) back until it engages the latch.
Tilt magazine cover (Fig. 5, No. 56) back to allow fasteners
to be installed onto magazine (Fig. 5, No. 57). Tilt pusher to
release and gently slide pusher forward against fasteners as
shown.
STAPLING OPERATION
Refer to Figures 3 and 5 (pages 3 and 6).
WARNING: Never operate tool unless contact trip is in con-
tact with workpiece. Do not operate tool without fasteners or
damage to tool may result. Never fire fasteners into the air
because fasteners may injure operator or others and damage
to tool may result.
° The air tool is equipped with a contact trip safety mecha-
nism (see Figure 3) that disables tool unless contact trip is
pushed against work. Hold tool handle firmly and press
contact trip on workpiece where fastener is to be applied.
Pull trigger to drive fastener into workpiece.
° The tool can also be operated by holding trigger
depressed and pushing contact trip against workpiece.
This operating procedure provides rapid-fire fastener dri-
ving. Never operate tool unless contact trip is in contact
with workpiece.
