Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Xtrade Hammer Tacker, slide the rear latch to unlock the magazine, insert your compatible staples, and push the magazine closed until it clicks into the locked position. Compatibility is limited to standard heavy-duty hammer tacker staples; always verify the gauge and crown size recommended for your specific material. For care, keep the tool dry and free of debris. Periodically wipe down the strike surface with a light machine oil to prevent rust, and store the tool in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the spring-loaded mechanism.
