2. Using Your EASYSHOT
The EASYSHOT

stapler has a unique forward action design to give maximum ease of use and control. To use, grasp the handle of
the stapler, making sure that the staple exit is pointing away from you (fig.2). Place it firmly on the workpiece and push the handle
steadily down towards the staple exit to activate. Maximum leverage is gained by pushing down at the front of the handle using the
force of your arm rather than just squeezing with the hand. In vertical applications the front finger hole provides added support.
