Applications:
The WORKPRO Light Duty Manual Staple Gun is versatile for various home DIY tasks:
- 6mm Staples: Ideal for window screens & shades, shelf papers, and closet lining.
- 8mm Staples: Suitable for light upholstery and other relatively thin materials.
- 10mm Staples: Best for insulation, weather stripping, wire mesh, carpet pads, canvas, and other materials of moderate strength, up to approximately 3/16” maximum thickness.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Keep the staple gun clean and free of dust and debris. Use a dry cloth to wipe down the exterior.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to moving parts, such as the handle pivot and magazine mechanism, to ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: Store the staple gun in a dry, safe place with the handle locked.
- Staple Remover: Use the included staple remover to safely extract misfired or unwanted staples.
Troubleshooting
- Staples not firing: Check if the magazine is loaded correctly and if the staples are the correct type (53/JT21). Ensure the handle is fully squeezed.
- Staples jamming: Remove the staple slideway and clear any jammed staples. Ensure staples are inserted correctly and are not bent or damaged.
- Staples not fully seating: Ensure you are pressing the staple gun firmly against the workpiece. The material might be too hard or too thick for the staple length. Try a shorter staple or a different staple type if available.
- Handle difficult to squeeze: Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot points. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism.
User Tips
- Always ensure the handle is locked when the staple gun is not in active use to prevent accidental firing and for safer storage.
- Match the staple length to the thickness of your material for optimal penetration and holding power.
- For best results, apply firm and even pressure to the staple gun when pressing it against the surface before squeezing the handle.
