Troubleshooting
Staples not driving fully
Ensure you are using the correct staple size (6-10mm) and type (JT21-T50). Check for any obstructions in the staple channel. Strike the tacker with firm, consistent force.
Staples jamming in the channel
Clear the staple channel of any bent or misaligned staples. Ensure staples are loaded correctly and not forced into the channel. Lightly lubricate the channel if it seems stiff.
Tool feels loose or wobbly
Check that the handle grip is secure and not damaged. Ensure all external parts are firmly attached. If the internal mechanism feels compromised, cease use and inspect.
Difficulty loading staples
Make sure the loading channel is fully open and clear of debris. Insert staples smoothly into the channel, ensuring they sit flat. Close the channel firmly until it latches.
