Troubleshooting
Staple not firing
Ensure the staple magazine is fully loaded and the spring is properly seated. Check that the correct staple size is being used and that there are no jams in the firing channel. Depress the handle firmly.
Staple jams
Gently clear any jammed staples from the magazine or firing channel using a small tool if necessary. Ensure staples are loaded straight and not bent.
Inconsistent stapling depth
Ensure you are applying consistent pressure. If the staples are not fully penetrating, check if the material being stapled is too dense for the staple size being used.
Handle is stiff or difficult to squeeze
Check for any obstructions or debris in the mechanism. Ensure the handle lock is disengaged. Lightly lubricate the main pivot points if necessary, avoiding excess lubricant.
