The RYOBI R18ST50 is a cordless stapler designed for driving staples into soft materials like wood, plastics, paper, cardboard, and for securing carpet underlays or hanging insulation. It is part of the RYOBI ONE+ 18V System, meaning it operates on an 18V battery (not included) and is compatible with various ONE+ battery packs and chargers. The stapler is intended for use by adults who have read and understood the instructions and warnings in this manual.
The primary function of the R18ST50 stapler is to efficiently drive T-50 staples into various materials. It utilizes a compression drive mechanism to deliver consistent stapling force. The tool features an activation foot that must be pressed firmly against the workpiece before the switch trigger can be actuated, preventing accidental firing. A drive force indicator helps users monitor and adjust the stapling power. The depth adjustment knob allows for precise control over how deep the staples are driven, ensuring they are flush with or recessed into the material as needed. For specialized tasks, a wire and screen accessory can be attached to secure fencing wire and wire screen without damaging them. The magazine is designed for easy loading of staples, and a magazine latch secures the staples in place during operation.
The R18ST50 is designed for single-hand use, offering convenience and maneuverability. Its cordless nature provides freedom of movement without the restriction of power cords, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The stapler is equipped with an insulated gripping surface on the handle to enhance user comfort and safety during operation. A belt clip is integrated into the design, allowing users to conveniently carry the tool when not in active use.
Before operation, users should ensure the work area is clean, well-lit, and free from children and bystanders to prevent accidents. It's crucial to wear personal protective equipment, especially eye protection, to guard against incorrectly driven fasteners or flying debris. Hearing protection is also recommended to mitigate noise exposure.
Loading staples into the magazine is a straightforward process. The magazine latch is released, staples are inserted, and the magazine is closed until the latch engages. The depth adjustment knob can be rotated to increase or decrease the driving depth, which should be tested on a scrap workpiece to achieve the desired result for the specific application. The drive force indicator provides visual feedback on the current power setting, allowing users to fine-tune it for different materials and staple lengths.
When using the wire and screen accessory, it is attached to the front of the stapler, guiding the wire or screen while staples are driven. This ensures that the staples secure the material without pinching or damaging it.
To operate the stapler, the activation foot must be pressed firmly against the workpiece. This action engages the safety mechanism, allowing the switch trigger to be pulled to drive a staple. The tool will recoil slightly after driving a fastener, which is a normal part of its operation and should not be resisted by holding the tool too tightly against the work.
The stapler is not intended for fastening electrical cables, as this could damage insulation and create hazards. Users should always check for hidden wiring, gas lines, and water lines in the work area before stapling.
Proper maintenance is essential for ensuring the stapler's safety, performance, and dependability. Before performing any adjustments, cleaning, or maintenance, the battery pack must be removed to prevent accidental starting.
The stapler should be kept clean and free from dirt, carbon dust, oil, and grease. Handles and gripping surfaces should be maintained dry and clean to ensure safe handling. Plastic parts should not come into contact with brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, or solvents, as these chemicals can damage or weaken the plastic. Instead, clean cloths should be used for cleaning.
All bearings in the product are pre-lubricated for the life span of the product under normal operating conditions, so no further lubrication is required.
In case of a jammed fastener, the battery should be removed before attempting to clear the jam. Caution must be exercised as the mechanism may be under compression, and the fastener could be forcefully discharged.
Any repairs or servicing should be performed by a qualified repair person using only original manufacturer's replacement parts, accessories, and attachments to maintain the safety and integrity of the tool. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
When storing the stapler, it should be kept out of the reach of children and away from persons unfamiliar with its operation. The battery pack should also be removed when the tool is not in use.
