3. Setup: Loading Staples

To ensure proper operation and prevent jamming, always refer to your specific staple gun's instruction manual for detailed loading procedures. The following are general guidelines for loading Arrow 215 Staples into compatible staple guns:

1. Safety First: Ensure the staple gun is unloaded and disengaged from any power source (if applicable) before attempting to load staples. Always point the tool away from yourself and others.
2. Open Magazine: Locate and open the staple gun's magazine. This typically involves pressing a release latch or button and pulling out the pusher rod.
3. Insert Staples: Place a strip of Arrow 215 Staples into the magazine with the staple legs pointing downwards, towards the nose of the staple gun. Ensure the staples fit snugly and are oriented correctly. Do not force them.
4. Close Magazine: Push the pusher rod back into the magazine until it locks securely in place. Verify that the magazine is fully closed and latched.
5. Test: After loading, perform a test fire on a scrap piece of material to confirm proper staple feeding and ejection.

Important: Using staples of incorrect size or type can damage your staple gun and compromise fastening quality. Always use Arrow 215 Staples with compatible Arrow JT21, JT21CM, or JT27 staple guns.

4. Operating: Using the Staples

Once loaded into a compatible staple gun, Arrow 215 Staples are ready for use. The effectiveness of the staple depends on the proper operation of the staple gun and the material being fastened.

• Material Suitability: These staples are ideal for light-duty applications such as upholstery, screening, light wood crafts, and general repairs.
• Staple Penetration: Ensure the staple gun is held firmly and squarely against the work surface to achieve full staple penetration.
• Depth Adjustment: If your staple gun has a depth adjustment feature, set it appropriately for the material thickness to prevent over-penetration or under-penetration.
• Safety: Always wear appropriate safety glasses when operating a staple gun. Keep hands and fingers clear of the staple exit area.

5. Maintenance and Storage

Proper maintenance and storage of your Arrow 215 Staples will ensure their longevity and performance.

• Storage Environment: Store staples in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Moisture can lead to rust, which can cause staples to jam or degrade.
• Original Packaging: Keep staples in their original packaging until ready for use to protect them from environmental elements and physical damage.
• Handling: Avoid bending or deforming staple strips, as this can lead to feeding issues in the staple gun.

6. Troubleshooting (Staple-Related Issues)

If you encounter issues while using your staple gun with Arrow 215 Staples, consider the following common staple-related problems:

• Staples Not Feeding:
  • Ensure the staples are loaded correctly with legs pointing down.
  • Check if the staple strip is bent or damaged. Replace if necessary.
  • Verify that the magazine is fully closed and the pusher rod is engaged.
• Staples Jamming:
  • Confirm you are using the correct staple size (Arrow 215, 5/16" leg length) for your staple gun.
  • Inspect the staple gun's magazine and firing channel for debris or bent components.
  • Ensure staples are not rusted or corroded.
• Staples Not Penetrating Fully:
  • Ensure the staple gun is held firmly against the work surface.
  • Check if the material is too hard or dense for light-duty staples.
  • Refer to your staple gun's manual for power adjustment or spring tension settings.

If problems persist, consult the instruction manual for your specific staple gun or contact Arrow Fastener customer support.
