I can't get the stapler to cycle, what air pressure settings are used &amp; any suggestions

I returned that as soon as I tried it because, after the first shot it would not work. The spring would bend and not allow it to cycle. After the first shot, we did take the spring out, straighten it, then shot it again, but the spring bent again causing the safety to not allow it to shot again. I told the seller what was wrong with it and I returned it. If you are having the same problem then I imagine they did not correct the shabby spring with a stronger one.

I would look at a pin nailer instead, something powered by a compressor. I got one of these Roberts staplers and it work for one hour.

Loading staples wasn't intuitive for me either. Look on YouTube for the guy having his 4 yr old demo the proper way. It is simple.Hint. Turn stapler bottom up, slide out the tray, then drop staples point-up into the body of the stapler, close it up. Voila.

I got this answer through google. Maybe it will work for you: Best Answer - Chosen by Voters Unthread the machine, top and bottom. Place a sheet of paper under the presser foot, lower the foot, and "sew". Does the needle move? If not, check that the bobbin winder is off. Does the paper move? If not, check the stitch length is set to something reasonable (like 3 mm instead of 0 or 0.5mm), and that the feed dogs are raised (check the manual for the section on raising or lowering the feed dogs or free motion embroidery or free motion quilting) Still no luck? Pull the needleplate and do a good cleaning (vacuum and brush only, please -- compressed air just forces the lint in further) especially around the feed dogs and in the bobbin case area. Lubricate if the manual directs. Works on paper, doesn't work when you thread up? Are you starting the seam correctly, and making sure you hang on to the thread ends for the first couple of stitches? Here are some stitching issues caused by not threading correctly and/or not starting the seam correctly: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/vi... Notice that the last pair of photos illustrates a jam that was so bad it brought my machine to a halt -- caused by incorrect seam starting and poor threading. (pictures are in pairs... blue thread on top, red thread in the bobbin.) If you still can't get it to work, it's probably repair shop time... it's probably going to need parts or more adjustment than you can do, or you've missed a spot in extracting jammed thread bits. Over the years I've seen two machines that were really unable to transport fabrics... one had a broken linkage to the feed dogs, and the other had fractured a feed dog (and I'm still not sure how that happened!)

The stapler doesn't have any staples. It very ingeniously makes a tab that folds back onto itself. The only part that opens is the clear window. To open it simply place your thumb on the top of the window and slide it away from the main body. Just be very sure not to use more than 5 0r 6 (less if the paper is thick) pages or you run the risk of the unit jamming. That would be the only time it's necessary to slide the clear window open. This item is not meant for heavy duty stapling. I use it for things I know I will eventually shred or documents that won't repeated referral - only filing for safe keeping. Hope this helps.

Sometimes it takes a second if the paper isn't in inserted properly. Everyone who uses it at work loves the stapler! It is a little loud, but we work in a restaurant, it's not a quite office space. Hope this helps.

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.

In mine, I can only load 10 staples at a time or the magazine won't close. Not designed very well if it can't take a whole strip of standard staples.

I really don't know since mine works great and I have dropped that stapler many times and still works fine. Sorry.

I can't help you with this particular question, but I do know that there are U-Tube videos on how to use this wonderful stapler. Maybe the answer is there.

49 year old woman with tendinitis and rotator cuff issues. It definitely takes both hands and some pressure for me--more if I need to get the staples all the way in, reliably; less if I just need them to grab and hold. Overhead, I can do 50, take a long break, then another 50, in a day. If I want a perfect job, maybe 30 staples, and pressing downwards or sideways, not overhead. On the good side, it jams way less than some supposedly "self firing" staplers I have used, and I don't fear nailing myself in the thigh if I get careless and roll onto it (a grounded fear based on a prior bad experience). And it'll hold up to a more powerful user whaling away at it, without going wonky. 49 year old woman with tendinitis and rotator cuff issues.

You will have to change the compressor connector or get an adapter that you can put on the compressor that would match the1/4" stapler connector

Just push down on bottom it should open.If its jamed I don't know how you would get the staple out.Maybe needlenose pliers?

I have the same problem, except Amazon gave me the following response "Since the return window of the item has been expired and it is not returnable, what I advise you is to contact the manufacturer for the replacement parts. " Stick with STAPLES, get service at a fair price!

Michael, most likely a staple is lodged and stuck. Did you take the nose apart to find the culprit? I am surprised this happened because Fasco is a good machine. What kind of staples are you using?

I am unable to answer your question because I'm not familiar with your stapler. I did a brief search at paslode.com and was unable to find this specific tool. If you don't find your answer today, then I would recommend going to paslode.com or if you want a much quicker response, call tech support at 800 222-6990 Mon-Friday, Eastern time zone. Good luck.
