S AFETY & CO MFO RT ( co nti nue d ) I In recent years, medical attention on occupational injuries has identified common, seemingly harmless activities as potential causes of a wide range of problems collectively known as Repetitive Stress Injuries or Cumulative Trauma Disorders. It is now recognized that any repetitive motion may contribute to these health problems. Depending on how it is used, the prolonged or repetitive use of almost any machine might have a potential for discomfort or injury.

IV S TITCHING THE BO O K BL O CK Before using the Stitcher, bind the book block with the Fastback 8x.

V L OAD ING S TAP L ES The power light on the top of the Sticher (see Figure 1) turns from green to red when the staple cassette is down to 19 remaining staples.

Press Release Button on top of the unit to remove the Cover (Figure 10). Inside you will see the Staple Cassette (Figure 11). FIGURE 10 Staple Cassette FIGURE 2.
TIP S FO R BETTER BIND ING VI • All paper has a grain — it is a result of the fibers that make up the paper. The grain of the paper should run parallel to the binding edge of the document. If the grain runs parallel to the long side of the sheet, the paper is “grain long”. When the grain runs parallel to the short side of the paper, it is “grain short”. A sheet of paper will naturally flex more easily along the direction of its grain.
VII TRO U BL ES HO OTING Removing jammed staples 1. Remove Cover and cassette (see page 7). BAD 2. Remove jammed staple(s) from the cassette. Difficult jams may require needle-nosed pliers to remove. Be careful not to damage the cassette when removing jams with pliers or similar tools. 3. Depress the magazine release on the front of the insert stapler and pull out the magazine. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the stapler die has been returned to the down position before using the stapler (Fig. 14).
