Operating Instructions
The Arrow T25 Cable Stapler is designed for easy and efficient operation. Follow these steps for optimal performance:
- Prepare Surface: Ensure the surface where you intend to fasten the cable is clean and suitable for stapling.
- Position Cable: Place the cable you wish to secure into the grooved wire guide at the front of the stapler. Ensure the cable fits snugly within the guide (up to 6mm diameter).
- Position Stapler: Place the stapler firmly against the surface, ensuring the cable is properly aligned and the stapler is perpendicular to the surface.
- Depress Handle: Apply firm, even pressure to the handle until the staple is fully driven into the material. The double-action mechanism ensures powerful striking.
- Check Staple: Verify that the staple has securely fastened the cable without damaging its insulation.
- Monitor Staple Level: Utilize the staple viewing window to check the remaining staple count. When the pusher rod can be lightly pushed forward until it stops, the visible projected part indicates the amount of staples remaining.

Troubleshooting
Most issues with the Arrow T25 Cable Stapler can be resolved with simple checks.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Staples not firing or jamming frequently. | Incorrect staple size/type, staple channel obstruction, worn pusher rod. | Ensure you are using genuine Arrow T25 staples of the correct size (10mm, 11mm, or 14mm). Clean the staple channel as per maintenance instructions. If the pusher rod is worn, contact customer support for replacement. |
| Staples not fully driven. | Insufficient pressure, hard material, incorrect staple length for material. | Apply firm and even pressure to the handle. Ensure the material is suitable for stapling. Consider using shorter staples if the material is exceptionally hard. |
| Stapler feels stiff or difficult to operate. | Lack of lubrication, internal debris. | Clean the internal mechanism. A small amount of light machine oil can be applied to moving parts, but avoid over-lubrication. |
