EMPLOYER’S RESPONSIBILITIES

Employer must enforce compliance with the safety warnings and all other instructions contained in this manual.

Keep this manual available for use by all people assigned to use this tool.

For personal safety and proper operation of this tool, read and follow all of these instructions carefully.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FOREWORD

Porter-Cable Model NS100A is a heavy duty pneumatic stapler. It is designed to install narrow crown (1/4" wide), 18 ga. wire staples of various lengths (from 1/2" to 1" long), see ACCESSORIES Listing in back of this manual.

CAUTION: Use approved Porter-Cable staples only (see ACCESSORIES Listing in back of this manual).

POWER SOURCE

This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air at regulated pressures between 70 and 120 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). The preferred system would include a filter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to the tool as possible (within 15 feet is ideal).

All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminates that are detrimental to internal components of the tool. An air line filter will remove most of these contaminates and significantly prolong the life of the tool. If an in-line oiler is not available: place five or six drops of Porter-Cable Air Tool Oil (see ACCESSORIES), into the tool’s air inlet at the beginning of each workday.

The tool is equipped with a male “quick connector”. The tool must always be connected to the air supply with a coupling such that all pressure is removed from the tool when the coupling is disconnected.

CAUTION: All air line components (hoses, connectors, filters, regulators, etc.) must have a minimum working pressure rating of 150 PSI (10.3 BAR) or 150% of maximum system potential, whichever is higher.

Do not connect this tool to a system with maximum potential pressure greater than 200 PSI (13.7 BAR).

Only connect tool to air supply with a coupling that will release all pressure from the tool when disconnected.

Disconnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.

USING THE TOOL

Complete all steps of PREPARING THE TOOL before using the tool.

To fire, grip tool firmly, position nose of tool onto work surface, push forward on tool to depress safety, and squeeze trigger to fire a fastener. This “trigger fire” method provides the most accurate fastener placement. This tool is shipped from the factory with a “restrictive fire trigger” that only allows the tool to be fired this way and is less likely to fire an unwanted fastener.

An alternate “bottom fire trigger” is available. The “bottom fire” trigger allows the tool to be fired in two different ways.

1.The tool can be fired using the “trigger fire” method described above.

OR

2. Grip tool firmly, depress and hold trigger while pushing the tool firmly against work surface. The tool will fire a fastener each time the safety is depressed. This method is known as “bottom fire” and allows very fast repetitive fastener placement.

The “bottom fire trigger” is available free-of-charge by calling 1-800-321-9443 in the United States and Canada or 001-901-660-9374 outside the United States and Canada, and providing tool model and serial number. For identification purposes: the Bottom Fire Trigger is black and the Restrictive Fire Trigger is red.

CAUTION: Remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry tool with finger on trigger: tool may fire a fastener if safety is bumped.

Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.

Never attempt to drive a fastener into material that is too hard, or at too step an angle, or near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener can ricochet causing personal injury.

Disconnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.

Clean and inspect tool daily. Carefully check for proper operation of trigger and safety mechanism. Do Not use the tool unless both the trigger and the safety mechanism are functional, or if the tool is leaking air or needs any other repair.

The depth to which a fastener is driven is

 

 

Fig. 19

 

 

 

controlled by the depth adjustment knob

 

 

 

(A) Fig. 19. The depth of drive is factory

 

 

 

adjusted to a nomimal setting. Test fire

 

 

A

a fastener and check depth. If a change

 

 

 

 

 

is desired, rotate the adjustment knob

 

 

 

(A) Fig. 19: the adjustment knob has

 

 

 

detents every 1/4 turn. Rotate the knob

 

 

 

clockwise (see Fig. 19), to increase

 

 

 

the depth of drive, rotate the knob

 

 

 

 

 

 

counterclockwise to decrease the depth of drive. Test fire another fastener and check depth. Repeat as necessary to achieve desired results. The amount of air pressure required will vary depending on the size of the fastener and the material being fastened. Experiment with the air pressure setting to determine the lowest setting that will consistently perform the job at hand. Air pressure in excess of that required can cause premature wear and/or damage to the tool.
