WHERE DO I GET NAILS OR STAPLES FOR THIS NAILER

I bought the 1 1/4" Senco Staples. Here's the link on Amazon: Senco L15BAB 18 Gauge by 1/4-inch Crown by 1-1/4-inch Length Electro Galvanized Staples (5,000 per box) . They worked great on 1/2" engineered wood floor on 3/4" osb sub floor. Not a single jam in the 3000+ used.

This stapler uses industry standard 1/4" staples available in various lengths. You can buy th online, or at most construction related retailers such as Lowes or Home Depot.

I believe I ordered a box of the staples for this stapler. Love this stapler by the way.....

It would probably work although I would be a little worried about the length of the staples. This shoots up to 1 1/2inch. I think you would be better served renting a real floor nailer. The floor nailer uses a flat ring shank nail that goes through the tongue and into the subfloor and you can get one that is air assisted or hammer only. If you ask at any rental place, they will know what you need. If you want to buy one, there are several out there but renting makes more sense unless you're going to be doing a lot of floors...I wouldn't use this on a 3/4 inch floor....

The brand of nails does not matter. Any straight 18 ga. 5/8" to 2" should work. Others might have experience with a specific brand. The manufacturer provides some generic brand ones they deem are acceptable.

I used Bostich SX50351 staples which is an 1-3/8' by 18 gauge by 7/32 crown finish staple. Worked very well.

I am not sure, but some of the reviews states they have used these nails. You may have a defective nailer. Sorry I can't be more help.

It shoots 18 gauge nails only in varying limited lengths. You need to get a 'Staple' gun to shoot staples.

I believe that's the same one we have that we ordered these staples for. It's an old model and I could not find the right staples for it at any retail store, including independent hardware stores. Glad I was able to find them online and they worked!

I ordered the nails with the nailer and I don't remember what brand came wih it.

Typically with an engineered product you're looking to use an 18 gauge staple. This gun only accepts 15.5-16 gauge staples, so for nail-down engineered you're going to need something else.

You can buy the nails from amazon - I believe this is the easiest, most cost effective, and quickest way, and where I purchased mine. I chose the compatible Bostitch nails versus other brands to avoid potential compatibility problems. I only had one jam in about 2000 nails shot which in my opinion corroborates buying Bostitch brand nails.

Amazon sells them and I think Cabela's sells them. You can also get them at a Lowes or Home Depot- they are used for nailing concrete.

Don't know if there is a manual available. The nailer that I received works flawlessly. I installed 3/4" red oak in about 1/3 of my house without a single problem. Keep it lubed with air tool oil, and feed it with an adequate, regulated air supply. You might search for the Bostitch manual. The two tools are nearly identical.

Yes it will use staples and brad nails, and although it is easy to load it didn't work very well with either of them, if you buy one I hope you'll have better luck with it than I did.

I do not see it on the nail gun or the info book , but go online to www.freemantools.com or call 1-888-669-5672, It is a great tool for the price, I have installed over 2000sq ft. of flooring with no problem or jambs , a few miss-fires so always use a little magnetic stud finder to make sure you are getting the proper amount of nails installed

Mine arrived with a box of 5/16" staples. I'm sorry, I have no idea what staples you need for your specific application.

Regular heavy duty construction stapler & a small hammer, try 1/4 in staples. You may have to tack them in w/hammer, if not secure enough try 1/2 in.
