Adjusting the stapling force
The stapling force is adjusted using a wheel (P) at the back of the machine.
The correct setting can depend on the thickness and hardness of the
stapling object.
The stapling force adjuster can also be used to compensate for variations in
the local power supply, and when using long extension cables.
When the force is set too low, this can lead to deficient stapling.
When the force is set too high, this can cause unnecessary noise and wear.
Flat stapling
Flat stapling is carried out as follows. See figure 7:
1 Position the work table as described in the section “Adjusting the work
table for flat stapling”.
2 Check that the trigger position is adjusted for the correct stapling depth.
3 Switch on the machine. An indicator lamp in the switch shows when the
machine is on.
Warning: Only the stapling object may be pushed under the visor.
4 Move the stapling object to the stapling position.
5 Press the pedal to staple, unless automatic stapling is being used.
6 Switch the machine off when not in use.
Saddle stapling
Saddle stapling is carried out as follows:
1 Position the work table as described in the section “Adjusting the work
table for saddle stapling”.
2 Check that the trigger is positioned as far to the rear as possible to
prevent unintentional stapling when the stapling object is moved to the
stapling position.
3 Switch on the machine. An indicator lamp in the switch shows when the
machine is on.
Warning: Only the stapling object may be pushed under the visor.
4 Move the stapling object to the stapling position.
5 Press the pedal to staple.
6 Switch the machine off when not in use.
