Verify that the floorboard is pushed snugly against the adjacent flooring or the wall using the small
raised fence on the base of the stapler.
SUFFICIENT FORCE IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETELY DRIVE A SINGLE
STAPLE/NAIL/CLEAT FLUSH WITH ONE STRIKE OF THE MALLET. Ensure that the force of the
hammer blow to the nailer is sufficient.
If the force of the blow to the nailer is too light the staple/nail
may not be inserted completely into the flooring. It may take you a few tries to gauge the proper
amount of force to use. For nails that are not fully inserted into the floor, you can use a hammer to pull
the nail out or knock the nails in with a nail setter.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE A FASTENER INTO
THE SAME LOCATION TWICE.
The stapler releases one staple with each hit .Hitting the whack-cap
twice will project a second staple onto the first which could cause a
potential ricochet hazard.
