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

Push down firmly and release. Move machine to next staple location
and repeat. Strongest closure requires staples close to the end of box.

board being used. Adjustments for tightness of clinch are easy and
instantaneous- full advantage should be taken of them.
