The Challenge Xtreme J-123 is an electric stapler and nailer designed for general household use, offering a versatile solution for various fastening tasks. This device is capable of driving both staples and nails, making it suitable for a range of DIY projects and repairs.

Function Description:

The J-123 operates as an electric stapler and nailer, providing a powered alternative to manual fastening tools. It is designed to drive staples and brad nails into various materials, simplifying tasks such as upholstery, trim work, and general fastening. The device features a trigger switch for operation, a mains power switch for turning the unit on and off, and a magazine release lever for easy loading of fasteners. An anti-firing safety switch is incorporated to prevent accidental discharge, enhancing user safety. The nozzle is the point of contact with the workpiece, guiding the fasteners into place.

Important Technical Specifications:

Class: II
Firing rate: 20/min
Magazine capacity: 100 fasteners

The device is supplied with a pack of 1000 x 10mm staples and a pack of 1000 x 15mm brad nails, allowing for immediate use upon purchase.

The firing rate of 20 fasteners per minute suggests efficient operation for most tasks. The magazine capacity of 100 fasteners reduces the frequency of reloading, contributing to smoother workflow. The specified staple and nail ranges ensure compatibility with common fastener sizes for various applications.

Usage Features:

Using the J-123 involves a straightforward process of loading fasteners and operating the device.

Magazine Loading:

To load the magazine, the magazine clip is held with the thumb and forefinger and pulled outwards.
Staples or brad nails are then inserted into the magazine or installed on the wall of the magazine.
Finally, the magazine is pushed back into its original position until it clicks securely.

Operation:

Before operation, ensure the mains power switch is off and connected to the mains supply.
Switch the units power switch ON.
To fire a staple or nail, the gun must be held flat against the surface being worked on. This action ensures the anti-firing safety switch is pressed down, which is necessary to activate the gun. Once the safety switch is engaged, pull the trigger to fire the staple or nail into the object being worked on.
After completion, switch off, unplug the unit from the mains supply, and remove any nails or staples so the unit can be stored away in a safe manner.

Trouble Shooting:

In case of a staple or nail jam, the magazine should be disconnected from the mains supply. Then, the magazine release lever is pulled, and the magazine clip is checked. The staples/nails should be reinstalled, ensuring they are free to move up and down the magazine. The magazine is then pushed back into the unit. If the nails/staples still jam or do not fire into the object being worked on, the material may be too hard for nailing or stapling with this type of equipment, and professional advice should be sought if needed.
