Many shops keep one tacker per staple size so they never stop to swap strips. If you work that way, add a second tool to your order for your most common leg length.
Choosing the Right Staples
Use 71 series staples. We stock ASC 71/06G, 71/08G, 71/10G and 71/12G, plus BeA 71/10 and BeA 71/12. The number after the slash is the leg in millimeters. Pick a leg that goes through your material and well into the frame. Review a test piece, then add a box of the size that works to your order.
How to Load and Use the BeA Air Staple Gun
- Disconnect the air before you load.
- Open the magazine and drop in a strip of 71 series staples.
- Close the magazine until it latches.
- Set your regulator to 5 to 6 bar (about 73 to 87 psi). Don't go over 6 bar.
- Connect the air, hold the nose flat on the work and pull the trigger.
Care, Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Put a few drops of pneumatic tool oil in the air inlet each day, unless your line has an oiler, and drain your compressor tank often. To clear a jam, disconnect the air, empty the magazine and remove the bent staple from the nose. If staples stand proud, raise the pressure a little, staying at or under 6 bar. If they sink too deep, lower it.
Is This the Right BeA Stapler for You?
This BeA staple gun is the right pick if you already use 71 series staples, or if you want a fine 3/8" crown for upholstery. If you work with 80 series staples and a wider 1/2" crown, look at the 80 series BeA tacker, model 380/16-420 instead. Review the staples you already have on the shelf before you choose.
