The device described in this manual is the Arrow T59™ Gun Tacker, a hand-operated stapling tool designed for fastening applications.

Function Description

The T59 Gun Tacker is primarily used for driving staples into various materials, particularly ordinary woods, as indicated by its staple penetration capabilities. It operates by a spring-loaded mechanism that propels staples from a track into the work surface. The manual emphasizes its effectiveness in achieving good staple penetration, suggesting it is suitable for tasks requiring secure fastening.

Important Technical Specifications

The manual illustrates the compatibility of the T59 with several staple sizes, indicating its versatility for different fastening needs. The staple sizes shown are:

• 1/4" x 1/4" (6mm x 6mm)
• 1/4" x 5/16" (6mm x 8mm)
• 5/16" x 5/16" (8mm x 8mm)

These specifications suggest that the tacker is designed for light to medium-duty applications, accommodating common staple dimensions. The "power spring" is highlighted as a key component responsible for driving staples effectively into ordinary woods.

The device is "MADE IN USA" (HECHO EN E.U.A.), indicating its country of manufacture.

A detailed exploded view of the gun tacker is provided, listing various parts with their corresponding part numbers. While specific material specifications are not given, the diagram shows components such as:

• 21, 21X: Likely housing or frame components.
• 5922, 5923, 5924, 5927: Possibly internal mechanisms, springs, or levers.
• 25, 26, 27a, 28, 29, 29a, 30X, 30a, 31, 32, 33, 40: Various smaller components, potentially pins, screws, springs, or guides.

These part numbers are crucial for maintenance and ordering replacement parts.

Usage Features

The manual provides clear instructions for loading, operating, and determining staple shortage, making the device user-friendly.

Loading:

1. Remove pusher rod: The first step involves detaching the pusher rod from the machine.
2. Insert strip of staples: A strip of staples is then placed into the staple track.
3. Replace pusher rod: The pusher rod is reinserted to hold the staples in place and feed them into the firing mechanism.

Staple Penetration:

For optimal penetration, users are advised to:

• Raise the rear of the gun slightly off the work: This technique helps in achieving better staple drive.
• Bear down on the front end: Applying pressure to the front end helps prevent recoil and ensures the staple is fully embedded. The "power spring" is specifically mentioned as being capable of driving staples well into "all ordinary woods," indicating its intended application range.

Determining Staple Shortage for Refill:

The device includes a convenient feature to check staple levels:

1. Press latch to release pusher rod: A latch mechanism allows the pusher rod to be disengaged.
2. Lightly push rod forward until it stops: By gently pushing the rod, its visible projected part indicates the remaining amount of staples in the track, signaling when a refill is needed.

Maintenance Features

The manual outlines a straightforward procedure for cleaning the staple channel, which is essential for maintaining the tool's performance and preventing jams.

Cleaning Staple Channel:

1. Remove pusher rod A: The pusher rod (labeled 'A' in the diagram) needs to be removed.
2. Remove screw and nut from hole B: A specific screw and nut (located at 'B' in the diagram) must be detached.
3. Pull down entire inside frame for complete cleaning: This action allows the user to access and clean the internal staple channel thoroughly.

Safety Instructions:

The manual includes a comprehensive list of safety instructions, emphasizing responsible tool use:

• Hazard Awareness: Be cautious of electrical wiring, slippery footing, damp or wet conditions, and hidden hazards in the work area.
• Work Area Management: Keep the work area clean and free of clutter. Ensure children and visitors are kept at a safe distance.
• Tool Storage: Store idle tools in high or locked-up places, out of reach of children.
• Personal Protective Equipment: Always use safety glasses.
• Ergonomics: Avoid overreaching and maintain proper footing and balance.
• Tool Care: Maintain tools with care and follow instructions.
• Service and Parts: Use only approved service centers and original parts from the supplier.
• Situational Awareness: Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense.
• Specific Hazard Avoidance: Do not staple into electrical wires; be cautious of hidden wires and disconnect circuits if necessary.

These instructions underscore the importance of safety during operation and maintenance of the T59 Gun Tacker. The manual also states that "POSTAGE AND HANDLING EXTRA" for parts, implying that replacement parts can be ordered.
