Setup and Loading Fasteners
Before operating any staple or nail gun, ensure it is disconnected from its power source (if electric) or disengaged (if manual) to prevent accidental discharge. Always wear appropriate safety glasses.
Loading Staples/Nails:
- Locate the magazine release mechanism on your staple/nail gun. This is typically a slide or button at the bottom of the tool.
- Depress the release and pull out the magazine tray.
- Insert the strip of T50 staples or 18GA brad nails into the magazine. Ensure the pointed side of the staples is facing upwards, and the brad nails are correctly oriented according to your tool's instructions.
- Slide the magazine tray back into the tool until it locks securely in place.

Operating Instructions
The NEU MASTER NBS1850 fasteners are designed for efficient and precise application with compatible tools. The sharp chisel points facilitate easy penetration and reduce jamming.
Adjusting Depth and Power:
- Many compatible electric staple guns feature an adjustable power setting or depth control. Refer to your specific tool's manual for instructions on how to adjust this setting.
- Adjust the power to match the material you are working with. Lower settings are suitable for softer materials like upholstery fabric, while higher settings are required for harder woods to ensure fasteners are driven flush.
Application:
- Ensure the tool is powered on (if electric) and the safety switch is disengaged.
- Place the nose of the tool firmly against the workpiece where the fastener is to be driven.
- Press the trigger to drive the staple or nail.
- For consistent results, maintain firm pressure on the tool against the surface.

Maintenance
Proper storage and care of your fasteners will ensure their longevity and optimal performance.
- Store fasteners in a dry environment to prevent rust and corrosion.
- Keep fasteners in their original packaging or a sealed container to protect them from moisture and physical damage.
- Avoid exposing fasteners to extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues while using NEU MASTER NBS1850 fasteners with your compatible tool, consider the following:
- Fasteners not driving flush:
- Check the power setting on your tool; increase it for harder materials.
- Ensure the tool is held firmly and squarely against the workpiece.
- Jams or misfires:
- Verify that the correct type and size of fasteners are being used for your tool.
- Ensure fasteners are loaded correctly into the magazine.
- Inspect the tool's nose and magazine for any debris or bent fasteners. Refer to your tool's manual for jam clearing procedures.
- Fasteners bending:
- This may occur if the material is too hard for the fastener or the tool's power setting is insufficient.
- Ensure the material is free of hidden obstructions (e.g., old nails, metal).
