adjusting the stapling force
The stapling force is adjusted using a wheel (K) at the back of the machine.
See figure 2. The correct setting can depend on the thickness and hardness
of the stapling object.
The stapling force adjuster can also be used to compensate for variations in
the local power supply, and when using long extension cables.
When the force is set too low, this can lead to deficient stapling.
When the force is set too high, this can cause unnecessary noise and wear.
Stapling
Stapling is done as follows. See figure 6:
1 Check that the trigger is adjusted for the correct stapling depth.
2 Switch on the machine. An indicator lamp in the switch shows when the
machine is on.
Warning: Only the stapling object may be pushed under the visor.
3 Move the stapling object forwards to the stapling position so that the
trigger is pushed in.
4 Switch the machine off when not in use.

Checking safety functions
One of the safety checks that should be done every day before the machine
is used is to check on the visor's safety function.
Check the visor's safety switch as follows:
1 Switch on the machine.
2 Lift up the visor.
3 Test whether or not the machine will staple a piece of paper with the
visor up.
If the machine operates with the visor in the upper position it must be
switched off immediately and sent for repair.
Cleaning
The machine should be cleaned when required as follows:
1 Switch off the machine and pull out the plug from the electric socket
before cleaning.
2 Clean the machine as required by blowing away dust and paper
remnants.
3 If the machine is heavily soiled it should be cleaned with a moist rag.
