Troubleshooting

Staple jams frequently

Ensure you are using the correct No. 13 staples within the 4-10mm range. Clear any jammed staples immediately. Check that the staple magazine is clean and properly loaded.

Staple does not drive fully

Verify that the staple leg length is appropriate for the material thickness. For thicker materials, ensure you are applying firm, consistent pressure. Check for any obstructions in the staple path.

Staple gun feels stiff to operate

Ensure the staple magazine is clean and properly closed. The internal steel parts may require some use to break in fully. Keep the mechanism free of debris.
