Technical Tips
Alligator® Ready Set™ Staples Misfire During Installation:
Either too heavy a hammer or the wrong type of hammer was used.
- A 1-lb. hammer is recommended with the standard Staple Driver.
- A 2-lb. hammer is recommended with the Quad Staple Driver.
- A dead blow, soft steel or rubber hammer should not be used.
Initial hit with the hammer was too hard.
- Starting with a moderate blow, hit driver with three to five consecutive blows, each blow harder than the previous one.
Anvils in the Alligator® RSC187 Tool are worn or broken.
- Inspect for deep/worn pockets and chipped/worn walls in angled areas of the anvils.
A mild steel plate was used for 'Final Set' procedure.
- Use only a hardened steel plate, such as the Flexco ST-28, when performing the 'Final Set' procedure of the Ready Set fasteners.
