- Adjust Depth (Optional): Use the depth adjustment knob located near the nose of the tool to control how deep the staples are driven into the material. Turn clockwise for deeper penetration, counter-clockwise for shallower.
Operating Instructions
- Select Firing Mode: The MT-N851H offers two firing options:
- Intermittent (Single Shot) Mode: Press the switch on the side of the trigger mechanism to select this mode. This mode requires the trigger to be pulled for each staple.
- Continuous (Bump Fire) Mode: Rotate the switch to select this mode. In this mode, the tool will fire a staple each time the contact trip is pressed against the workpiece while the trigger is held down.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your meite MT-N851H stapler.
- Lubrication: Apply a few drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet daily before use. This lubricates internal components and prevents corrosion.
- Cleaning: Keep the tool clean and free of debris. Wipe down the exterior with a clean cloth. Periodically clean the magazine channel to ensure smooth staple feeding.
- Air Filter: If your air compressor has an inline air filter, ensure it is regularly cleaned or replaced to prevent contaminants from entering the tool.
- Storage: Store the tool in a dry, clean environment when not in use. Disconnect the air supply before storage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Staples not driving fully | Low air pressure, incorrect depth setting, wrong staple size, worn driver blade. | Increase air pressure, adjust depth deeper, ensure correct staples are used, inspect and replace driver blade if necessary. |
| Tool misfires or skips staples | Magazine empty, staples jammed, damaged feeder spring, low air pressure. | Reload staples, clear jam (disconnect air first), inspect feeder, check air pressure. |
| Staples jam frequently | Incorrect staple size, bent staples, debris in magazine, worn nosepiece. | Use correct staples, check staple quality, clean magazine, inspect nosepiece for wear. |
| Air leaks from tool | Loose fittings, damaged O-rings or seals. | Tighten fittings, replace damaged O-rings or seals. |
