How to use

Load staples according to the tool's magazine instructions and ensure the staple size matches the required penetration depth for the material. Position the tool squarely against the work surface to achieve straight staple entry, then squeeze the handle with steady pressure to drive the staple. For thicker materials, use longer staples within the supported 6–14 mm range. Maintain proper hand placement to keep control and avoid recoil; wear eye protection if working with hard substrates.
