What This Siding Staple Gun Is Used For
- Vinyl siding (use the staple gun with the vinyl siding attachment)
- Wall and roof sheathing
- Foam board and insulated sheathing
- Soffit and trim backing
As a sheathing stapler, it moves fast across a wall. As a vinyl siding stapler, the depth setting helps you leave the panels free to expand and contract.
Choosing the Right Staples for This Staple Gun
The 651S5 uses Bostitch 16S5 staples: 16 gauge, 7/16" crown, 1" to 2" long. Pick a leg that goes through the siding or panel and gets a solid bite in the framing or sheathing behind it. Call us for 16S5 staples and we'll match the right length to your job.
How to Load and Use the 651S5 Staple Gun
- Disconnect the air hose.
- Open the magazine, drop in a strip of 16S5 staples with the legs toward the nose, and close it.
- Set your compressor between 70 and 120 psi and connect the hose.
- Choose contact or sequential firing.
- Test on scrap and adjust the depth.
- Press the nose to the work and fire.
Care, Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Put a few drops of pneumatic tool oil in the air inlet each day, use clean, dry air, and drain your compressor tank often. Review the nose and magazine at the end of each day and add a drop of oil if the tool feels slow.
- Clearing a jam: disconnect the air, flip open the nose, remove the stuck staple and close it.
- Staples too deep in vinyl: lower the pressure or adjust the depth so the panel can still slide.
- Staples standing up: raise the pressure a little or set the depth deeper.
Staple Gun or Siding Nailer?
A stapler for siding is lighter and quicker on vinyl and sheathing. A coil siding nailer like the Bostitch N75C-1 is the choice when your siding maker calls for nails, such as on wood or fiber cement. Review the install guide for your siding before you choose.
