How to use Hardwood Floor Stapler
Following are the basic instructions that you need to follow in order to use floor staplers.
First fill your hardwood floor stapler with the strip of staples. Generally the process of filling the stapler with the staples is very easy. There is a spring that is placed at the staple holding position, you have to stretch the spring and load the staples in the staple holding chamber and then release the spring knob. There will be a metal ring located at end of the hose, by pulling the metal ring back you will have to connect the air hose to the foot stapler. Then Turn the compressor on and let the motor run till the motor itself turns it off. This indicates that your foot stapler is now ready.
Now set up the first installment of flooring along one of the wall, and make sure that the tongue side of it must be facing out in the room. Now Fix it to floor by drilling the holes into it at the distance of every 1 to 2 feet, and then drive in them the decking screws.
Similarly, also lay down the second installment. Make sure that the new planks are fixed tightly with the first installment, keep repeating the process this way until you feel you have laid enough installments for your stapler to sit on the boards without the board being touched.
Once you feel that you have been able to get the floor stapler in, set the stapler at the edge of the first board on the next installment. The body of the stapler should be sitting on the boards in such a way that the front lip of the floor stapler should be hooked around the tongue of the board to be stapled.
Strike the mallet against the front of Hardwood Floor Stapler to push the piece of wood or plank in to place. Then held the stapler tightly with one hand and then hit the striking button in one quick motion driving in the staple. Keep driving staples after every foot. Repeat the same process for all installments.
