4. Installation (Needle Replacement)

Follow these steps to safely replace the needle in your compatible Avery Dennison tagging gun:

1. Safety First: Always ensure the tagging gun is unloaded (no fasteners inserted) before attempting to replace the needle. Point the gun away from yourself and others.
2. Locate the Needle Lock: On most standard tagging guns, the needle is secured by a locking mechanism, often a small plastic collar or cap at the front of the gun, near the needle base.
3. Remove the Old Needle:
   • If your gun has a locking cap, turn it counter-clockwise (usually 90 degrees) to unlock the needle.
   • Carefully pull the old needle straight out from the gun. Dispose of the old needle safely, as it may be sharp.
4. Insert the New Needle:

   • Align the new replacement needle (Model #08941) with the needle slot on the tagging gun. The flat side of the needle's base should align with the corresponding slot in the gun.
   • Gently push the new needle straight into the gun until it is fully seated.
5. Secure the New Needle:
   • If your gun has a locking cap, turn it clockwise (usually 90 degrees) to lock the new needle securely in place. Ensure it clicks or locks firmly.
   • Gently tug on the needle to confirm it is securely fastened and does not wobble.
6. Test: Load a few fasteners and test the gun on a scrap piece of material to ensure the needle is properly installed and functioning correctly.

5. Operation

Once the replacement needle is correctly installed, your Avery Dennison Standard Tagging Gun will operate as usual. Ensure you use compatible fasteners (barbs) with your tagging gun and follow the specific operating instructions for your tagging gun model.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically inspect the needle for any lint, debris, or adhesive residue. If necessary, gently wipe the needle with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use, store unused replacement needles in their original protective packaging in a cool, dry place to prevent damage or corrosion.
• Replacement: Replace needles promptly if they become bent, dull, or broken to prevent damage to materials and ensure efficient tagging.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after replacing the needle, consider the following:

• Needle Not Seating Properly: Ensure the needle's flat base is correctly aligned with the slot in the gun and pushed in completely. Verify the locking mechanism is fully engaged.
• Needle Bending or Breaking Frequently:
  • Check if you are using the correct type of needle for your tagging gun and the material being tagged.
  • Ensure the material is not excessively thick or dense for a standard needle.
  • Verify the needle is securely locked in place and not loose.
• Fasteners Not Attaching:
  • Confirm the needle is fully extended and retracted with each trigger pull.
  • Check if the fasteners (barbs) are loaded correctly and are compatible with your gun and needle.
  • Inspect the needle tip for any damage or burrs that might impede fastener passage.
