3. Setup and Staple Loading

3.1 Choosing the Right Staple Size

Selecting the correct staple size is crucial for optimal performance and to prevent jamming. The hammer tacker is compatible with T50 staples. Consider the material you are fastening and the base material:

  • Choose staples of appropriate length according to your material. Ensure the staple is fully driven into the material.
  • For harder base materials (e.g., Oak, Plywood, MDF), use shorter staples. For softer base materials (e.g., Pine, Douglas Fir, Foam), use longer staples.
  • If a staple stands away from the surface after driving, the staple is too long. Choose the next shorter leg length.
