GENERAL SAFETY RULES

639224-00 FSNS100 Stapl 12/14/05 7:23 AM Page 2

• Never point tool at yourself or others in work area. Serious injury or death may occur if the tool

is activated. (Fig. 3)

• Never use oxygen or other bottled gasses. Explosion will occur. Never use combustible gases or any other reactive gas as a power source for this tool: explosion and serious personal injury will result. (Fig. 4)

• Wear ear protection to safe-guard against possible hearing loss. Ear protection equipment must conform to ANSI S3.19 requirements. (Fig. 5)

• Use clean, dry, regulated, com-pressed air at 70 to 120 PSI, (4.8 to 8.3 BAR). (Fig. 6)

• Do not connect tool to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 PSI (13.7 BAR).

• All air line components (hoses, connectors, filters, regulators, etc.) must be rated for a maximum working pressure of at least 150 PSI (10.3 BAR) or 150% of the maximum system pressure, which ever is greater.

• Connect tool to air supply hose with a coupling that automatically removes all pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnected. (Fig. 7).

• Disconnect tool from air supply hose before doing tool maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person. (Fig. 7)

• Never use a tool that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or requires repair. Make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened. (Fig. 8).

• Never use tool if safety, trigger or springs

are inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety, trigger, or springs. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger and safety mechanism. (Fig. 8)

• Do not use tool without safety warning label. If

label is missing, damaged or unreadable, contact 1-800-544-6986 for a replacement. (Fig. 9)

• Only use parts, fasteners and accessories

approved by Black and Decker.

• Connect tool to air supply before loading

fasteners, to prevent a fastener from being fired during connection. The tool driving mechanism may cycle when tool is connected to the air supply. (Fig. 10)

• Always assume the tool contains fasteners. No

horseplay. Respect the tool as a working implement. (Fig. 11)

• Operator and bystanders should wear hard hats

to safeguard against possible injuries. (Fig. 12)

• Do not load fasteners with trigger or safety

depressed, to prevent unintentional firing of a fastener. (Fig. 13

)

• Remove finger from trigger when not driving

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times when using or handling the tool.

• Fire fasteners into work surface only: never

into materials too hard to penetrate. (Fig. 15)

• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while

allowing tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven. In “Contact Actuation

Mode” if safety element is allowed to re-contact work surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will be fired.

• Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners, or with the tool at too steep an angle: the fasteners can ricochet causing personal injury. (Fig. 15)

• Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the workpiece. The workpiece is likely to split allowing the fastener to fly free or ricochet causing personal injury. (Fig. 16)

• FOR TOOLS USED IN CONTACT ACTUATION

MODE, Do not use on scaffoldings or ladders

or for tasks in which changing location involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the like. Do not use for specific tasks such as closing boxes or crates or fitting transportation safety systems on vehicles and wagons. (Fig. 17)

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away

while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

• Make sure hose is free of obstructions or

snags. Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or footing.

• Always keep fingers clear of nail track of

magazine to prevent injury from inadvertent release of the pusher. (Fig. 18)

• Refer to the Maintenance section for detailed

information on the proper maintenance of the tool.

• Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted

area. Be sure the work surface is clear of any

debris and be careful not to lose footing when working in elevated environments such as rooftops.

• Do not use tool in the presence of flammable

dust, gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail may also cause a spark. (Fig. 19)

• Be aware of material thickness when

using the nailer. A protruding nail may cause injury.

• Be aware that when the tool is being

utilized at pressures on the high end of its operating range, nails can be driven completely through thin or very soft work material. Make sure the pressure in

the compressor is set so that nails are set into the material and not pushed completely through. (Fig. 20)

• Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other work areas. Fasteners driven into live electrical wires, plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in injury. (Fig. 21)

• Stay 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 power tools may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Use of this product will expose

you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Avoid inhaling

vapors and dust, and wash hands after using.

The FSNS100 Stapler is designed to install 18 ga. narrow crown staples of various lengths from

/8" to 1" long. Narrow crown staples are loaded into the magazine from

the top.

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)

(4.8 to 8.3 BAR)

. The preferred system would include a filter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to the tool as possible, within 15 ft/4.6 m 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 air tool oil into the tool’s air inlet on a daily basis.

The tool is equipped with a 1/4" 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.

PREPARING THE TOOL

Keep tool pointed in a safe direction when loading nails. Never load nails with the contact trip or trigger activated.

1. After reading and understanding this entire manual, connect tool to air supply. (Fig. 22)

2. Depress latch and slide magazine cover open. (Fig. 23)

3. Insert a strip of approved fasteners. (Fig. 24) Orient fasteners with points down

in the magazine.

4. Push magazine cover closed. (Fig. 25)

5. Observe the low fastener indicator (A) Fig. 26 and reload as needed.

6. Adjust directional exhaust deflector (A) Fig. 27, so that the exhaust air

or debris will be directed away from the operator. Grasp the deflector and rotate it to the desired position for the current application.

USING THE TOOL

Complete all steps of PREPARING THE TOOL before using the tool. This tool is shipped from the factory with a “single sequential actuation” trigger. To

fire, grip the tool firmly to maintain control, position nose of tool onto work surface, push the tool firmly against work surface to depress safety (S) Fig. 28, and squeeze trigger to fire a nail. Allow tool to recoil away from work surface as nail

is driven. This “single sequential actuation” method provides the most accurate fastener placement.

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 nail is driven is controlled by the depth adjustment knob (A) Fig.

29. The depth of drive is factory adjusted to a nominal setting. Test fire a fastener and check depth. If a change is desired, rotate the adjustment knob (A) Fig. 29. The adjustment knob has detents every 1/4 turn. Rotate the knob (A) Fig. 29 clockwise 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.
