OPERATING THE BTFP12180/BTFP12181

OPERATING THE TOOL

Grasp actuating lever with one hand and place other hand on top of the tool or grasp secondary fixed handle if installed. Position on box in line with the desired staple location. There is a small projection on either side of the frame as an aid in locating the position of the staple. (FIG.5) Push down firmly and release. Move machine to next staple location and repeat. Strongest closure requires staples close to the end of box. Check packaging requirements. Check staple clinching in samples of board being used. Adjustments for tightness of clinch are easy and instantaneous- full advantage should be taken of them.
