OPERATORS AND OTHERS IN WORK AREA MUST WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS. • • • When operating the Stapler, always wear eye safety glasses with side shields, and make sure others in the work area wear safety glasses, too. Safety glasses must conform to the requirements of American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1 and provide protection against flying particles both from the front and side. The employer must enforce the use of safety glasses by the Stapler operator and others in work area. 2. NEVER USE OXYGEN OR OTHER BOTTLED GASES. EXPLOSION MAY OCCUR. • • • Never use oxygen, combustible gases or any other bottled gases as a power source for the Stapler. Use of the above gases is dangerous, as the Stapler will explode. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air. WARNING 3. NEVER POINT TOOL AT YOURSELF OR OTHERS IN WORK AREA. • • • • • Always assume the Stapler contains fasteners. Never point the Stapler at yourself, toward yourself or others whether it contains fasteners or not. If fasteners are mistakenly driven, it can lead to severe injuries. Never engage in horseplay with the Stapler. Respect the Stapler as a working implement. 4. KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM TRIGGER WHEN NOT DRIVING STAPLES TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL FIRING. • • Never carry the Stapler with finger on trigger since you could drive a fastener unintentionally and injure yourself or someone else. Always carry the Stapler by the handle only. 5. CHOICE OF TRIGGERING METHOD IS IMPORTANT. • Read and understand section titled “METHODS OF OPERATION.” (page 12) 6. DO NOT EXCEED 120 psi. (6.9 bar 8.4 kgf/cm2) • 120psi 120psi • Do not exceed maximum recommended air pressure 120 psi (6.9 bar 8.4 kgf/cm2) Never connect the Stapler to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm2) as the Stapler can burst. 7. ALWAYS WEAR EAR AND HEAD PROTECTION. • • Always wear ear protection to protect your ears from loud noise. Always wear head protection conforming to ANSI Z89.1-1986 protect your head from flying objects. 4 SAFETY — Continued WARNING 8. STORE STAPLER PROPERLY. When not in use, the Stapler should be stored in a dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Lock the storage area. 9. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

When loading fasteners into the Stapler or when connecting the air hose, 1) do not pull the trigger; 2) do not depress the push lever; and 3) keep the Stapler pointed downward. 10. NEVER USE IN PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR GASES. The Stapler produces sparks during operation. Never use the Stapler in sites containing lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline, gases, adhesive agents, and other materials which are combustible or explosive. 17.KEEP FACE, HANDS AND FEET AWAY FROM DISCHARGE AREA DURING USE. Never place your face, hands or feet closer than 8 inches (200 mm) from discharge area. A serious injury can result if the Staples are deflected by the work piece, or are driven away from the point of entry. 11. KEEP VISITORS AWAY. Do not let visitors handle the Stapler. All visitors should be kept away from work area. 18. PLACE STAPLER PROPERLY ON WORKPIECE. Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the Stapler at too steep of an angle; the Staples can ricochet and hurt someone. 12. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when working indoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. 19. BE CAREFUL OF DOUBLE FIRE DUE TO RECOIL. If the push lever is unintentionally allowed to recontact the work piece following recoil, an unwanted fastener may be driven. In order to avoid an unlikely double fire, 1) Do not push the Stapler on the work piece with strong force; 2) Take the Stapler completely away from the work piece using recoil, and keep the push lever away from the work piece until the next desirable shot; and 3) Pull the trigger and release it QUICKLY when performing intermittent operation. 13. NEVER USE NON RELIEVING COUPLER ON STAPLER. If a non relieving coupler is used on the Stapler, the Stapler can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a Staple even after disconnecting. The Stapler and air hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is removed from the Stapler when the coupling joint is disconnected. 20. DO NOT DRIVE STAPLES INTO THIN BOARDS OR NEAR CORNERS AND EDGES OF WORK PIECE. The Staples can be driven through or away from the work piece and hit someone. 14. CHECK PUSH LEVER BEFORE USE. Make sure the push lever operates properly. (The push lever may be called "safety".) Never use the Stapler unless the push lever is operating properly., otherwise the Stapler could drive a fastener unexpectedly,. Do not tamper with or remove the push lever, otherwise the push lever becomes inoperable. 21. NEVER DRIVE STAPLES FROM BOTH SIDES OF A WALL AT THE SAME TIME. The Staples can be driven into and through the wall and hit a person on the opposite side. 15. KEEP ALL SCREWS AND COVERS TIGHTLY IN PLACE. Keep all screws and covers tightly mounted. Check their condition periodically. Never use the Stapler if parts are missing or damaged. 22. CHECK FOR LIVE WIRES. Avoid the risk of severe electrical shock by checking for live electrical wires that may be hidden by walls, floors or ceilings. Turn off the breaker switch to ensure there are no live wires. 23. NEVER CARRY STAPLER BY HOSE. 5 SAFETY — Continued WARNING 24. DO NOT OVERREACH. 29. HANDLE STAPLER CORRECTLY. Operate the Stapler according to the Manual.

APPLICATIONS • • • TONGUE AND GROOVE FLOORING MOISTURE BARRIER SUBFLOOR Tongue and Groove Flooring Moisture Barrier BEFORE OPERATION Read over section titled "SAFETY" (pages 4 - 7) Make sure of the following before operation. 1", 1-1/2” to 1-9/16” Staple WORKING ENVIRONMENT Subfloor WARNING • The 461A Pneumatic Flooring Stapler, with the standard shoe, drives 1", 1-1/2 to 1-9/16” Staples into the tongue and groove flooring at a 45 degree angle. The orientation of the Staple is as depicted above. • 9 No flammable gas, liquid or other flammable objects at worksite. Clear the area of children or unauthorized 3) Air hose AIR SUPPLY • Air hoses should have a minimum of 150 psi (10.4 bar 10.6 kgf/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 plug on the Tool. DANGER • NEVER use oxygen or other bottled gases. Explosion may occur. 4) Hose Coupling • This tool uses a free-flow connector plug, 1/4 NPT. The inside diameter should be .200" (5mm) or larger. The fitting must be capable of discharging tool air pressure when disconnected from the air supply. WARNING • • Never connect Stapler to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm2). Never use non relieving coupler on Stapler. 5) Air Consumption • The model 461A requires 3.1 cfm of free air to operate at the rate of 100 fasteners per minute, at 80 psi. 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 cfm which is required to operate the tool at 100 fasteners per minute. 1) Power Source • • • • Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source for this Stapler. Air compressors used to supply compressed air to this Stapler must comply with the requirements of the latest version of ANSI Standard B 19.3 "Safety Standard For Compressors For Process Industries." Moisture or oil in the air compressor may accelerate wear and corrosion in the Stapler. Drain daily. 6) Operating Pressure • 2) Filter-Regulator-Lubricator LUBRICATION • A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of 0-125 psi (0-8.6 bar 0-8.8 kgf/cm2) is required to control the operating pressure for safe operation of this tool. Do not connect this tool to air pressure which can potentially exceed 200 psi as tool may fracture or burst, possibly causing injury. • Filter-Regulator-Lubricator units supply an optimum condition for the Stapler and extend the Stapler life. These units should always be used: Filter—The filter removes moisture and dirt mixed in compressed air. Drain daily unless fitted with an automatic drain. Keep the filter clean by regular maintenance. Regulator—The regulator controls the operating pressure for safe operation of the Stapler. Inspect the regulator before operation to be sure it operates properly. Lubricator—The lubricator supplies an oil mist to the Stapler. Inspect the lubricator before operation to be sure the supply of lubricant is adequate. Use PNI pneumatic tool lubricant. Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Oil added through the air line connection will lubricate the internal parts. Use Air Tool Lubricant, Mobil Velocite #10, or equivalent. Do not use detergent oil or additives as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals and piston cushion in the Tool, resulting in poor Tool performance and frequent Tool maintenance. If no airline lubricator is used, add oil during use into the air fitting on the Tool once or twice a day. Only a few drops of oil at a time are necessary. Too much oil will only collect inside the Tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle. COLD WEATHER CARE For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent Tool operation. We recommend the use of WINTER FORMULA Air Tool lubricant (NEW-MATIC Winter Formula or equivalent) or permanent anti-freeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant. CAUTION: Do not store Staplers in a cold weather environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the Staplers operating valves and mechanisms that could cause Stapler failure. Regulator Stapler side 70 to 120 psi. Select the operating pressure within this range for best Staple performance. DO NOT EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE. Compressor side NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful to O-rings and seals – do not use these low temperature air dryers without checking compatibility. Filter Lubricator CAUTION • 10 Do not operate the Stapler at high pressure without Staples TESTING THE STAPLER ADJUSTING AIR PRESSURE WARNING DANGER • DO NOT EXCEED 120 psi. (6.9 bar 8.4 kgf/cm2) Operators and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields which conforms to ANSI Z87.1 120psi 120psi WARNING • Never use Stapler unless push lever is working Adjust the air pressure at recommended operating pressure 70 – 120 psi (4.9 – 6.9 bar 5 – 8.4 kgf/cm2) according to the hardness of work piece. Manufacturer recommends before each use, check all Screws and Nuts to make sure they are tight and have not "jarred loose" from vibration and use. (Shoe, Shoe Base and Pad, Magazine, Magazine Retainer Bracket, Handle, etc.). The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure which will do the job. Using the Stapler at a higher than required air pressure unnecessarily over stresses the Stapler. Manufacturer recommends before each use, check the Driver Blade tip for deformation & breakage to prevent improper driving of Staples and/or to prevent damage to the Stapler and Flooring. Before actually beginning the stapling work, test the Stapler by using the check list below. LOADING STAPLES Conduct the tests in the following order. WARNING If abnormal operation occurs, stop using the Stapler and contact a PNI authorized service center immediately. When loading fasteners into the Tool, 1) Do not pull the trigger; 2) Do not depress push lever 1) Adjust the air pressure to 70psi (4.8 bar, 4.9 kgf/cm2) Connect the air hose.

STAPLER OPERATION METHODS OF OPERATION Read section titled "SAFETY" (pages 4-7) The Stapler is equipped with the push lever and does not operate unless the push lever is depressed (upward position). DANGER • SEQUENTIAL TRIP SAFETY OPERATION The model 461A Flooring Stapler operates on a sequential trip system. The sequential trip system requires the operator to hold the Tool against the work before pulling the trigger. This makes accurate fastener placement easier. The sequential trip allows exact fastener location without the possibility of driving a second fastener on recoil. Operators and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields which conforms to ANSI Z87.1 specifications. WARNING • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • NEVER point Stapler at yourself or others in work area. SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION: 1) Press the contact trip against the work surface, without touching the trigger. THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE. Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving Staples to avoid accidental operation. Never place your face, hands or feet closer than 8 inches (200 mm) from discharge area when using. The Stapler may bounce from the recoil of driving a Staple and an unwanted second Staple may be driven possibly causing injury. Check operation of the safety mechanism frequently. Do not use the Stapler if the safety is not working correctly as accidental driving of a Staple may result. Do not interfere with the proper operation of the safety mechanism. Never clamp or tape the trigger or contact trip in an actuated position. Do not drive Staples on top of other Staples or with Stapler at too steep of an angle; Staples can ricochet and hurt someone. Do not drive Staples into thin boards or near corners and edges of work piece. Staples can be driven through or away from work piece and hit someone. Do not overdrive Staples. NWFA (National Wood Flooring Association) states that one reason for split tongues is overdriving. Never use Stapler which is defective or operating abnormally. Do not use Stapler as a hammer. Disconnect air hose from Stapler when: 1) It is not in use; 2) Leaving work area; 3) Moving it to another location; and 4) Handing it to another person. Wear safety glasses and safety shoes for protection against foreign objects. Use only Staples from PNI. Air supply hoses should have a minimum working pressure rating of 150 psi or 150 percent of the maximum pressure produced in the power source, whichever is higher. Check all hoses before connecting to ensure that they are free from dirt, grit, or particles that could alter the performance of the Stapler. An airline Filter and In-Line Air Regulator adjustable to 125 psi max are required. NEVER use a defective Stapler. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Be sure that the Safety Trigger and operating mechanisms operate correctly and that all screws and seals are securely tightened at all times. 2) Hold the Tool off the work surface and pull the trigger. THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE. Release the trigger. The trigger must return to the trigger stop on the frame 3) Pull the trigger and press the contact trip against the work surface. THE TOOL MUST NOT CYCLE. 4) With finger off the trigger, press the contact trip against the work surface. Pull the trigger. THE TOOL MUST CYCLE. WARNING • • • 12 Keep your finger off the trigger except during stapling operation, because serious injury could result if the push lever accidentally contacts you or others in the work area. Keep hands and body away from the discharge area. The Stapler may bounce from recoil of driving a fastener and unwanted subsequent fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury. Some types of loaded Staples can spark out of the muzzle during a driving operation. FASTENER POSITIONING ADJUSTMENT The fastener position can be adjusted to accommodate 1/4" - 5/8" thicknesses of flooring by way of the adjustment knobs located on the positioning shoe. The shoe adjustment feature provides close control of the fastener positioning to reduce occurrence of split tongues or dimples in the flooring surface. First set the air pressure for consistent drive in the specific work as described on page 11, then use the shoe adjustment knobs to set the desired position of drive. The fastener should be positioned so that it enters the vertical face of the flooring at the point where the tongue meets the vertical face. 1. ELEVATOR SHOE ADJUSTING AXLE 3. 2. FRONTGUIDE ELEVATOR SHOE TO ADJUST THE TOOL TO THE FLOORING: 1. Loosen both Knobs until the Foot moves freely. 2. Position the foot and to engage the Nose with the Tongue of Flooring and retighten knobs as shown above. 3. Adjust the Front Guide “Elevator Shoe” to the subfloor by turning the adjustment AXLE to raise or lower the “elevator Shoe” so the tool is balanced. Note: periodically check the Knobs to ensure that they are tight during use. **Important: Test the tool on a scrap piece of flooring to ensure proper staple placement and compatibility. ADJUSTING THE STAPLING DEPTH Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of undersized fittings and hoses or from the effects of dirt and water in the system. Restricted air flow will prevent the tool from receiving an adequate volume of air, even though the pressure reading is high. The results will be slow operation, jamming, misfeeds or reduced driving power. Before evaluating tool problems for these symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to the supply source for restrictive connectors, swivel fittings, low points containing water and anything else that would prevent full volume flow of air to the tool. Floor • Air pressure too low. • Staple crown above tongue. • Increase air pressure. Staple • Air pressure too high • Staple crown below tongue. • Lower air pressure. 13 • Correct air pressure • Staple just below surface MAINTENANCE NOTE: The information contained in this Manual is designed to assist you in the safe maintenance of the Stapler.
