always wear safety goggles complying with United States
ANSI Z87.1 to prevent eye injury from fasteners and flying
debris when loading, operating or unloading this tool.
* Never exceed operating pressure of 100 PSI.
° Always keep hands and body away from the fastener dis-
charge area when air supply is connected to tool.
* Always disconnect tool from air supply when servicing or
adjusting tool and when tool is not in use.
* Do not operate when nose of tool is not in contact with
work.
° Never load the tool until you are ready to use it.
* Never depress tool trigger when loading.
° Always load with nose of tool pointing away from you and
others.
* Never point tool at yourself or others.
* Never carry tool with trigger depressed.
° Do not use oxygen, combustible gas or high pressure
compressed gas as the air supply for the tool.
° Always use tool at safe distance from other people in work
area.
* Do not attempt to discharge fastener into hard or brittle
materials such as concrete, steel or tile.
* Do not connect female quick-disconnect coupling to tool
side of air line.

DESCRIPTION
The Craftsman ¼" Crown Stapler drives ¼" crown, 18 gauge
staples from V2to 11/z'' long. Die cast aluminum body with tex-
tured grip minimizes operator fatigue. Large capacity, top
loading magazine with positive quick action latch makes load-
ing easy. Safety feature disables tool unless contact trip is
pressed against workpiece. Tapered nosepiece provides oper-
ator with greater visibility for precise fastener placement. Rigid
nosepiece reduces jamming. Quick-release nose cover allows
for easy removal of jammed fasteners. The ¼" Crown Stapler
is excellent for furniture making, upholstery, cabinetry and
picture framing.

AIR SUPPLY LINE
Refer to Figure 1 (page 3).
* The air tool operates on compressed air at pressures from
60 to 100 PSI.
* Never exceed maximum pressure.
Air Delivery Required: 0.71 SCFM @ 90 PSI
(30 shots per minute).
WARNING: Keep hands and body away from discharge area
of tool when connecting air supply. Always disconnect tool
from air supply when servicing or adjusting tool and when tool
is not in use.
* Air operated tools require clean, dry, lubricated com-
pressed air to ensure top performance, low maintenance
and long life.
* Dirt and abrasive materials present in all air lines will dam-
age tool O-rings, valves and cylinders.
* Moisture will reduce tool performance and life if not
removed from compressed air.
* A filter-regulator-lubricator system is required and should
be located as close to tool as possible (see Fig. 1, page
3). A distance of less than 15 feet is recommended.

• Keep air filter clean. A dirty filter will reduce the air pressure
to the tool causing a reduction in power and efficiency.
• The air supply system must be able to provide air pressure
of 60 to 100 pounds per square inch at tool.
• All hoses and pipes in the air supply system must be clean
and free of moisture and foreign particles.
• Do not mount swivel connector in air supply line.
• The air pressure should be properly regulated.
• Different workpiece materials and different fastener lengths
will require different operating pressure.
° Be sure all connections in air supply system are sealed to
prevent air loss.
° Never connect a female quick-disconnect coupling to the
tool side of air line connection. A male, free-flow coupling
should be connected to the tool side of air line connection.
WARNING: The female coupling provides a seal preventing
loss of compressed air from compressor tank when discon-
nected from male coupling. If connected to tool side of air
supply, the female coupling could seal a compressed air
charge in the tool which could discharge if the tool trigger is
actuated.

LOADING
Refer to Figures 2 & 5 (pages 3 and 6).
WARNING: Disconnect tool from air supply. Always load with
nose of tool pointing away from you and others. Always wear
safety goggles that comply with United States ANSI Z87.1.
NOTE: For best results use Sears fasteners only.
• Slide pusher (Fig. 5, No. 48) back until it engages the latch.
Tilt magazine cover (Fig. 5, No. 51) back to allow fasteners
to be installed onto magazine (Fig. 5, No. 55). Tilt pusher to
release and gently slide pusher forward against fasteners as
shown.

° The air tool is equipped with a contact trip safety mechanism
(see Figure 3) that disables tool unless contact trip is pushed
against work. Hold tool handle firmly and press contact trip
on workpiece where fastener is to be applied. Pull trigger to
drive fastener into workpiece.
° The tool can also be operated by holding trigger depressed
and pushing contact trip against workpiece. This operating
procedure provides rapid-fire fastener driving. Never operate
tool unless contact trip is incontact with workpiece.
° The tool is equipped with a push-button switch that can
change the operating mode from rapid-fire to single fire.
When the red stop button (Fig. 5, No. 37) is pushed in from
the fastener loading side, the tool will fire one fastener only.
Tofire the next fastener, both the trigger (Fig. 5, No. 30)
and the contact trip (Fig. 5, No. 63) must be released.

STAPLING OPERATION
Refer to Figure 3 below.
WARNING: Never operate tool unless contact trip is in contact
with workpiece. Do not operate tool without fasteners or dam-
age to tool may result. Never fire fasteners into the air because
fasteners may injure operator or others and damage to tool
may result.
