Arrow Fastener Company warrants to the original consumer purchaser (“you”) that this
product will be free from original defects in materials and workmanship for 3 years after
you purchase it. If the product does not comply with this warranty, Arrow will, at its
option, repair or replace the product with an equivalent product at no charge to you. This
warranty is not transferable. For best performance, use genuine Arrow nails. Arrow nails
are made to exact tolerances to insure trouble-free performance. This warranty does not
cover defect or damage to the extent caused by the use of non Arrow branded nails. This
warranty also does not cover damage relating to normal wear and tear, misuse, abuse,
neglect, accident, natural disaster, or alteration of the product without Arrow’s consent.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE
LIMITED TO THE SAME DURATION AS THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY. Some states do not
allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not
apply to you. NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY HAS BEEN MADE OR WILL BE MADE
BY ARROW WITH RESPECT TO THIS PRODUCT. ARROW SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHETHER ARISING OUT
OF BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. Some
states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages so the above
exclusion and limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you also may have other rights which vary from state to state. This guarantee
does not affect your statutory rights. In Canada, the above provisions are not intended
to operate where prohibited by law and do not preclude the operation of any applicable
provincial consumer protection statute which may in certain circumstances extend the
express warranty herein. To obtain the benefits of this warranty, you must send

3 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

WORK AREA
Keep the work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered benches and dark areas increase

the risks of accidents.

Do not operate the tool in presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. The tool

potentially creates sparks which could ignite.

Keep bystanders, children, and others away while operating the tool. Distractions

could result in improper use and cause injury.

Avoid unintentional misfires. Always use caution to avoid accidentally firing. Do not point

towards yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not.

General Safety Rules

PERSONAL SAFETY
Always wear eye protection. Operator and others in the work area should always wear

ANSI-approved safety goggles with side shields. Eye protection is used to guard against flying
fasteners and debris, which may cause severe eye injury.

Always wear hearing protection when using the tool. Prolonged exposure to high

intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,

clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.

Safety alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the tool may cause serious
injury.

Avoid unintentional firing. Keep fingers away from trigger when not driving fasteners,

especially when connecting the tool to the air supply.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables

better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Do not use on a ladder or unstable supports. Stable footing on a solid surface

enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or snarled hoses

can cause loss of balance or footing and may become damaged, resulting in possible injury.

General Safety Rules

If stapler has been stored in a cold environment, bring it to a warm area and allow it to warm
up before using.

STAPLE LOADING

• Make sure Stapler is disconnected from Air Supply.

• Only use the proper size and type of staple with this stapler, as specified under “Staples”.

• Depress the Track Release Lever to release the spring-loaded Staple Magazine; slide the
magazine out (back) as far as it will go.

• Turn the stapler upside down. Place a full strip of staples into the staple magazine, with
the staple points facing upward (away from the tool). Slide the Staple Magazine closed
until the Track Release Lever snaps back into place with a click. (Closing the staple
magazine while staples are loaded engages the spring-load mechanism, so it will take
slightly more pressure to slide the magazine closed.)

STAPLER USE

PT50 features contact safety; as a result trigger needs to be firmly depressed against surface
for effective use. Once contact safety is effectively depressed against surface,
pull trigger to drive staple. PT50 does offer “bump fire” capability, for quick firing.
To utilize effectively, keep trigger pressed down and firmly depress contact safety.
Repeat if necessary.

MAINTENANCE

• Disconnect the air hose from the stapler.

• Remove all staples from the staple magazine of the stapler.

• Place several drops of oil (included in case) into the air inlet.

• Shut off air compressor and drain any moisture from the compressor tank.

• Drain the air line filter; clean the filter element, then blow air in opposite direction to
remove any dirt/debris.

• Keep lubricator filled with oil (included in case).

CLEARING STAPLE JAMS

• Disconnect the air hose from the stapler.

• Carefully remove staple strip from staple magazine.

• Remove any remaining loose staples from inside the staple magazine, using pliers to
grasp the staples, if necessary.

• Once jammed staples have been removed, reload stapler.

Preparation

APPLICATIONS

Including, but not limited to: insulation, roofing felt, house wrap, auto and marine vinyl
trim, cabinet felt, cabinet backs, screen door repair, small furniture, light trim, molding and
picture frames, and general staple use.

ADJUSTING THE EXHAUST

The adjustable exhaust on the cap of the tool allows users to direct
the exhaust according to operator preference. To adjust the direction,
turn the exhaust cap in the desired direction.

STAPLES

The Arrow PT50 Pneumatic Stapler is designed to use T50 heavy duty staples in size 1/4”,
5/16”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 17/32” and 9/16”. For best results use genuine Arrow T50 staples.

AIR SUPPLY

This stapler is designed to operate on clean, dry, regulated compressed air, between
60 and 100 psi. It is preferable to include an air filter, pressure regulator, and automatic oiler
within 15 feet of the tool, if possible.

An air filter is needed to remove contaminates and moisture that are contained in
compressed air; filtering will significantly prolong the life of the tool. If an automatic oiler is
not installed, place 5 to 6 drops of oil into the tool’s air inlet at the beginning of each work
day.

The staple gun comes factory-equipped with a male quick connector. The staple gun must
always be connected to the air supply with a coupling that removes all pressure
when it is disconnected.

NOTE: all components used with this staple gun (air hose, connectors, regulators,

filters, etc.) must be rated at 150 psi, OR 150% of the maximum compressor
potential, whichever is higher. Do not connect this staple gun to a system with
maximum potential air pressure greater than 200 psi.
