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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
