Safety Instructions

Always observe the following safety precautions when handling and using staples and compatible tools:

• Wear Eye Protection: Always wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from flying debris or staple kickback.

Setup and Loading

Proper loading of staples is crucial for efficient operation of your stapler. Refer to your stapler's specific manual for detailed loading instructions, as procedures may vary slightly between models.

1. Ensure Tool is Unplugged/Deactivated: Before loading, always ensure your stapler is disconnected from its power source or has its safety mechanism engaged to prevent accidental firing.
2. Open Staple Magazine: Locate and open the staple magazine on your compatible POWERPLUS stapler (e.g., POW735, POW736). This usually involves pressing a release button or latch.
3. Insert Staples: Place the strip of POWERPLUS POWE90400 12 mm staples into the magazine with the points facing forward and the crown (flat top) facing upwards. Ensure the staples fit snugly within the guide rails.
4. Close Magazine: Securely close the staple magazine until it latches into place. A click sound often indicates it is properly closed.

Operation

Once the staples are loaded, refer to your stapler's instruction manual for specific operating procedures. General tips for effective stapling include:

• Test on Scrap Material: Before working on your final project, test the stapler and staples on a piece of scrap material to ensure proper penetration and fastening.
• Apply Firm Pressure: For best results, apply firm and even pressure to the stapler against the workpiece.
• Maintain Proper Angle: Hold the stapler perpendicular to the surface for straight staple insertion.
• Monitor Staple Supply: Periodically check the staple magazine to ensure you do not run out of staples mid-task.

Maintenance and Storage

Proper maintenance and storage will prolong the life of your staples and ensure they perform optimally when needed.

• Store in a Dry Place: Keep staples in their original packaging or a sealed container in a dry environment to prevent rust and corrosion.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose staples to extreme heat or cold, as this can affect their material properties.
• Keep Clean: Ensure staples remain free from dust, dirt, and debris, which can cause jamming in the stapler.
