Use and Care Manual
Preparing for Use
If stapler has been stored in a cold environment, bring it to a warm area and allow it to warm up
before using.
Loading Staples
- Make sure Stapler is disconnected from Air Supply.
- Only use the proper size and type of staple with this stapler, as specified under "Staples".
- Depress the Track Release Lever to release the spring-loaded Staple Magazine; slide the
magazine out (back) as far as it will go.
TO LOAD STAPLES-TURN STAPLER UPSIDE DOWN,
insert a full strip of staples into the staple
magazine with the staple points facing up (Fig. 1). Slide the staple magazine closed until the track
release lever clicks back in place. (Closing the staple magazine while staples are loaded engages
the spring-load mechanism, so it will take slightly more pressure to slide the magazine closed).
Using the Stapler
- This stapler is equipped with a contact safety mechanism; the stapler will not operate unless the
contact mechanism is firmly depressed against the surface to be stapled.
- Grip the body of the stapler firmly, make sure that the contact mechanism is placed securely
against work surface, and pull the trigger to drive a staple.
- Remove finger from the trigger.
- To drive another staple, move the stapler to next area on work surface to be stapled, and repeat
these steps.
After Stapling
- Disconnect the air hose from the stapler.
- Remove all staples from the staple magazine of the stapler.
- Place several drops of oil (included in case) into the air inlet.
- Shut off air compressor and drain any moisture from the compressor tank.
- Drain the air line filter; clean the filter element, then blow air in opposite direction to remove any
dirt/debris.
- Keep lubricator filled with oil (included in case).
Clearing Staple Jams
- Disconnect the air hose from the stapler.
- Unscrew 4 nosepiece screws to release nosepiece (Fig. 2).
- Clean and carefully remove staple strip from staple magazine.
- Remove any remaining loose staples from inside the
staple magazine, using pliers to grasp the staples, if necessary.
- Once jammed staples have been removed, reload stapler.

STAPLES
The Surebonder 9600A Pneumatic Stapler is designed to use a 20 gauge, narrow crown,
heavy-duty wire staple in 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", 17/32" and 9/16" leg lengths.
For best results use:
Surebonder #4 Heavy-Duty Staples (same as Arrow T50 or Stanley TRA700 Series Staples).
AIR SUPPLY
This stapler is designed to operate on clean, dry, regulated compressed air, between 60 and
100 psi. (Do not exceed 100 psi). It is preferable to include an air filter, pressure regulator, and
automatic oiler within 15 feet of the tool, if possible.
An air filter is needed to remove contaminates and moisture that are contained in compressed
air; filtering will significantly prolong the life of the tool. If an automatic oiler is not installed,
place 5 to 6 drops of oil into the tool's air inlet at the beginning of each work day and
2 to 3 drops of oil after using approximately 3 strips of staples.
The staple gun comes factory-equipped with a male quick connector. The staple gun must
always be connected to the air supply with a coupling that removes all pressure when it is
disconnected.
NOTE: all components used with this staple gun (air hose, connectors, regulators,
filters, etc) must be rated at 150 psi, OR 150% of the maximum compressor
potential, whichever is higher. Do not connect this staple gun to a system with
maximum potential air pressure greater than 200 psi.
