out the Staple Channel-see Figure 1.  
Insert a full strip of fasteners into the Staple Channel. Push the Staple Channel  
back into the Staple Gun Body (1). Make certain that it is pushed all the way

from the Staple Gun. This will depend primarily on the thickness of the item be-  
ing stapled. For instance, a large pad of papers will need more force than one  
or two sheets being stapled together.

Place the item to be stapled below the Driver located on the front of the Staple  
Gun.

ing (8) and your palm resting on the Handle (2). Squeeze and pull down on the  
Handle (2) to fire a fastener.  
Test the Staple Gun using a scrap work piece. Make certain that you have the  
Depth Adjustment Knob (1) set correctly, and that the fasteners are placed as  
you desire.
