• 55 Answers SOURCE: For what it's worth Compressors are intended to be turned on and forgot (except for the noise). Just for grins lets assume you have the stapler and air hose. You need to hook up the air hose to the compressor there usually is one or to either couplers or npt fittings (threaded). Voip Integration Phone Remote Serial Console here. Attach the hose to the compressor and using a quick coupler (prefered because it allows the gun to swivel) connect the gun to the hose. Turn on the compressor and wait for it to build up pressure and *******. At this point you will need to locate the regulator on the compressor.

It will be a knob next to one or two dial gages. Crank the regulator a quarter turn either direction while watching the gages. It (one of them) moved either up or down. Now you know how the regulator works and your almost a contractor. On to the stapler, load it and find a bit of scrap (what your working on would be best.) now shoot a staple into something and see if it goes in far enough or to far. Adjust the regulator to compensate.
