IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!
WARNING: When using pneumatic tools, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
This tool was designed for installing ¾” tongue and groove hardwood ooring. We
strongly recommend that this tool not be modied and /or used for any application
other than that for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative to its
application, do not use the tool until you have written us and we have advised you.
ENGLISH
1. SAFETY GLASSES To prevent eye injuries, the tool operator and all persons in
the work area must wear approved safety glasses to ANSIZ87.1 specications
with permanently attached, rigid side shields.
2. EAR PROTECTION Wear ear protection to safeguard against possible hearing
loss.
3. DRESS SAFELY. Protective gloves and non-skid footwear or safety shoes are
recommended while working with and operating this tool. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
4. USE CLEAN, DRY, REGULATED, COMPRESSED AIR at 60 - 100 psi / 414 to
689 kPa / 4.14 to 6.89 bar
5. DO NOT CONNECT TOOL to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi / 1379
kPa / 13.8 bar.
6. AIR HOSE Only use hose that is rated for a minimum working pressure of 150
psi or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater. Check that
connections are tight..
7. NEVER USE OXYGEN, CARBON DIOXIDE, combustible gases or any other
bottled gas as a power source for this tool. Explosion and serious personal
injury could result.
FRANÇAIS
8. COUPLINGS Connect tool to air supply hose with a 1/4" NPT coupling that
removes all pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnnected.
9. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR SUPPLY HOSE before doing any disassem-
bly, maintenance, clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work area, moving
the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.
10. EXTENSION CORDS: Observe warnings that accompany air compressors
concerning the use of the correct gauge and insulation on extension cords used
out of doors.
11. 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.
12. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Never use a tool if safety, trigger, or spring
are inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety, trigger, or
springs. Make daily inspections for the free movement of trigger and safety
mechanism.
13. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts
and fasteners recommended by us.
14. CONNECT TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY BEFORE loading fasteners to prevent
fasteners from ring during connection. The fastener driving mechanism
may cycle when the tool is connected to the air supply.
15. ALWAYS ASSUME THE TOOL CONTAINS FASTENERS. Keep it pointed
away from yourself and others at all times. No horseplay. Respect the tool as a
working implement.
16. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS with the hammer face depressed. The tool may
unintentionally re a fastener.
17. DO NOT DEPRESS THE HAMMER FACE when not driving fasteners. Never
carry tool while touching the hammer face trigger mechanism; tool may re an
unwanted fastener.
18. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not
reach over or across machines which are running.
19. GRIP TOOL FIRMLY to maintain control while allowing the tool to recoil away
from the work surface as the fastener is driven.
20. DO NOT DRIVE STAPLES on top of other fasteners, or with the tool at too steep
an angle: the fasteners can ricochet causing personal injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!
21. FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK SURFACE ONLY. Do not drive staples nor
attempt to do so, into hard or brittle materials such as steel, concrete, or tile.
22. DO NOT DRIVE STAPLES too close to the edge of the workpiece. The work-
piece is likely to split, allowing the fasteners to y free or ricochet causing
personal injury.
23. STAY ALERT. Keep hands and body away from the path of any potential red
fastener. Watch what you are doing & use common sense. Don’t operate any
tool when you are tired or under the inuence of drugs or alcohol. Check pre-
scriptions to determine if there could be a problem.
24. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. Before driving
fasteners into walls, oors, or wherever “live” electrical wires may be encountered, try to ascertain whether there is a danger of shock.
25. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAR of obstructions.
26. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. When the tool is not being used, it should be
cleaned, and stored in a clean dry place out of the reach of children.
27. EMPLOYERS must enforce compliance with the safety warnings and all other
instructions in this manual. Keep it available for use by everyone assigned to
use this tool.

SET UP
Your stapler is fully assembled when you receive it. See the recommended air
system setup below.
Be sure that the couplers are set up so that the air hose is depressurized when
adding or removing components from the system.

AIR SOURCE
The FSCN2-1 is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air, regulated
at 60-100 psi / 414 to 689 kPa / 4.14 to 6.89 bar. The preferred system would
include a lter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to
the tool as possible (within 15 feet / 5 meters is ideal). Do not use bottled air or
gases.
Determine if it is necessary to lubricate. All compressed air contains moisture
FRANÇAIS
and other contaminants that can harm the internal components of the tool. An
air line lter will remove most of these and signicantly prolong the life of the
tool. If you are using an in-line automatic oiler, check and add oil if necessary.
If an in-line oiler is not available, place 2 drops of oil into the tool’s Air Plug (47)
at the beginning of each workday. More than this will be expelled from the tool’s
exhaust during ring.
Air Fitting: The FSCN2-1 should be equipped with a 1/4" NPT male ‘quick con-
nector’. To prevent accidental cycling even though disconnected, the tool must
always be connected to the air supply in such a way that all air pressure in it is
released when the coupling is disconnected.
CAUTION:
All air line components (including hoses, pipe, connectors, lters, & regulators,
etc.) must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 psi / 1034 kPa /
10.3 bar or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing maintenance,
clearing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another
location, or handing it to another person.

3. After reading and understanding this entire manual, connect tool to air supply.
OPERATING THE TOOL
1. The depth to which a fastener is driven is determined by the supplied air pressure.
1a. Test re a fastener into a sample of the material you will be working on and
check depth.
1b. Adjust the regulator to supply air at a higher pressure if increase drive depth
is desired. Decreasing supplied air pressure will result in the fastener driven
depth also being decreased.
1c. Test re another fastener and check depth again.
ENGLISH
FRANÇAIS
CAUTION:
Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.
Never attempt to drive fasteners into materials too hard to penetrate, at too
steep an angle, or too near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener can
ricochet causing personal injury.
Disconnect tool from air supply before loading fasteners, doing any
disassembly, maintenance, clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work
area, moving the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another
person.
Clean and inspect the 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.
2. Load the fasteners following the directions in the LOADING THE FASTENERS
section.
3. Connect the tool to the air supply. Make sure the air pressure is within the
