2. The staple gun has a bottom load staple magazine.
Turn tool upside down and squeeze pusher
assembly (Fig 2).
3. Pull pusher assembly out until it stops to reveal the
staple magazine (Fig 3).
4. Place stick of staples in bottom channel so legs are
pointing up(Fig 4).

this may damage the tool and void the warranty.Close
pusher assembly until it snaps into place. On very
hard surfaces,firing recoil may interfere with
nail/staple penetration.Enhance driving power by

6.2 Firing your tool
1. To fire your tool, make sure tool is powered on.
place down on your workpiece depressing the
contact safety on the front of the tool. Once the
contact safety is depressed, push the trigger to fire
your staple. You must pick up the front of the tool
and reactivate the contact safety for each shot. The
tool will operate in low temperatures down to 32°F
(0°C) and in higher temperatures up to 104°F (40°C).
6.3 How to determine proper staple leg size
In choosing the proper staple leg length for a job,
there are two basic things to consider:
1. Thickness of material to be stapled.
2. Hardness of the wood. As a general rule, in
hardwood, approximately 3/16” to 1/4”penetration
into the wood is sufficient...and for softwood, up to
approximately 3/8”should be sufficient. The staple
should be flush with the underlying surface, as
shown in (Fig 8b). However, if the staple used is not
flush with the underlying surface, as shown in (Fig
8a)– this means that too long a leg length has been
used. In that case, we recommend the next shorter
leg length for desired results.
