Operating Instructions

Using the Connex COM500200 Hammer Tacker is straightforward:

1. Grip the Tacker: Hold the tacker firmly by its soft-touch handle.
2. Position the Tacker: Place the stapling head firmly against the material you wish to fasten. Ensure the tacker is perpendicular to the surface for optimal staple penetration.
3. Strike the Surface: Swing the tacker downwards, striking the surface with the stapling head. The impact will drive a staple into the material.
4. Repeat as Needed: Continue striking the surface at desired intervals to fasten materials.
5. Check Staple Penetration: After stapling, check that the staples are fully seated and secure. Adjust your technique if staples are not fully driven.
