Hot Stapler Kit - Rechargeable
Controls:
Operation:
Note: It is worthwhile practicing on some scrap plastic components to familiarise yourself
with how much heat needs to be applied (length of time control button
C
is depressed) to
get a staple to a temperature where it will slide into the plastic being repaired, and to get
a feel of how much pressure is required to ensure that you don’t push straight through the
component. Red hot is too hot - release control button.
Hot Staple Repair:
• Clean the plastic surface to be repaired of any contaminants prior to repair.
• Choose suitable staple for type of repair and insert it into the tips. Staple arms can be
bent if required to achieve access.
• Prepare plastic for repair by butting together
• Heat staple by pressing and holding the control button
C
for 4-5 seconds (see note above
- do not let staple become red hot).
• Press the staple gently against the plastic to be repaired; push staple until it is about half
way through material, then twist through about 10-15°.
• Release control button
C
and hold the staple on the repair until the plastic cools and it
feels firm.
• Slowly withdraw the tool, leaving the head of the staple in place.
• Cut of the protruding ends of the staple with side cutters or similar. Hold on to protruding
ends during the cutting operation. (
Wear eye protection
.)
• When repairing large areas or long cracks, repeat the procedure at 1-3cm intervals.
• Remove the remaining ends of the staple with sander.
• Continue with repair in the normal way.
Charge Protection:
The cordless hot stapler features over-charge and over-discharge protection. If the
worklight-power-on LED
B
does not function and staples are not heating up, the charge
protection has been activated. In this case connect the charger and recharge the stapler
to restart.
