4. Operating Instructions

Adjusting Impact Strength:

The Tolsen 43020 features an impact strength adjustment knob, usually located at the top or rear of the handle.

Test on a scrap piece of material to find the optimal setting for your specific application and material.

Stapling Procedure:

1. Select the appropriate staple size and load the magazine as described in Section 3.
2. Adjust the impact strength as needed for your material.
3. Place the nose of the staple gun firmly against the work surface where the staple is to be driven.
4. Squeeze the handle firmly and completely to fire a staple.
5. Release the handle and reposition the tool for the next staple.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your staple gun.

• Cleaning: Keep the tool clean and free from dust, debris, and adhesive residue. Use a dry cloth to wipe down the exterior.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to moving parts, such as the handle pivot points and the staple pusher mechanism, to ensure smooth operation.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the staple gun for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components. Do not use a damaged tool.
• Storage: Store the staple gun in a dry environment to prevent rust.

6. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Staple Jam: If a staple jams, ensure the tool is disengaged and pointed away from you. Utilize the Quick Jam Release button/mechanism to open the staple channel and carefully remove the jammed staple. Do not force it.
