We are stapling two sheets, and the staples go right though and leave a hole. Is there any way to adjust the tension so smaller jobs have less force?

Hi Mary,I don't know the answer as we always work with 4 pieces of a bulletin. We love this stapler though.It has been a Godsend for us.

I used a small rotary wheel and reduced the slope of the angle at which the staple comes out of the paper. It took several tries with intermediate testing to make sure of not doing too much. It now staples two pages just like the standard stapler. (I never found a way to reduce the impact force that would not destroy its use with up to 20-25 pages.)

I have the same problem - it's a WONDERFUL stapler for larger booklets, but less than five pages it goes right through.

I don't know of anyway to adjust the tension but I have had something similar happen with another stapler it was because I had it loaded with too long of staple so you might want to check that.

It works great when stapling 1 page. My page never separates from itself when I staple it to nothing.

Make sure the paper is sitting right. If the paper shifts then it will be too close to the edge, some times larger quantities of paper will shift as the machine punches the holes, so do't overload the paper.

I discovered that the adjustment of tension can be modified by taking off the tension by unlatching the pawl then push the pawl until the nut clears the retaining pin and then screwing the nut in or out depending on whether you wish the tension increased or decreased once the lever(pawl) is latched. Directions should have been included to tell one this but not included with mine.

I used Bostitch crown staples and had no issues. I also used finish nails along the outside edges where I couldn't use the stapler and that worked fine as well. Good luck!!!

I used finishing nails. I tried heavy duty staples first but did not like how they held. The nails hold the rope much tighter to the post.

I have found that you have to set the stapler on your desktop (instead of holding with your hand). Apparently, you apply too much pressure by holding it in your hand. With it on your desk, there isn't as much pressure.

I was able to decrease the tension by following the instructions provided by iBOLT in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuDzjABXU_w (the link can also be found in iBOLT's Customer Support page) Hope that helps!

I use staples for mine, you may want to look into buying carpet tape. That tape is usually stronger.

Sorry I haven't answered sooner. I have been on vacation. I checked today and it will staple in 1/4 inch. I hope this is helpful to you!

It uses standard staples, at least until it breaks. For me that was on the 3rd staple.

1/2 should be adequate. I would perform a test to determine the right amount of air pressure so that the staples do not over penetrate the wood ripping the fabric along with it.

Hmm. You probably could adjust it down for that. It shoots the staple at an angle. There is some adjustment to the shoe. Can't guarantee it.

Yes, tension can be adjusted. There is a knob right in middle of front bottom that can be turned to tighten or loosen the tension.

You should have a yellow square with an off center square hole so you can adjust depending on the thickness of the table. The string the runs through the top of the net can be adjusted for tension.

As an electrician, I would never use a mechanical stapling mechanism to secure cable of any kind. You have absolutely no control of how deep the staple penetrates the wall/wood/ceiling/etc. There are cable straps made for this application that you would install using a tack hammer, or, for larger cables, you can use an insulated/non-insulated staple that is manually hammered into the medium. Using a stapler is asking for trouble, I don't care how many people say it's not an issue.

I use the Optima Premium staples - (35556) because they work well for the 45 sheet stapling capacity. I have not tried the standard staples.
