You’ll know your Staple Wasp gun is jammed if the drive rod crunches on the staple and stops moving downward. If you find two or more staples in the chamber when clearing it, it means the gun is being short-stroked. Listen for a distinct "CLACK" at the bottom of the stroke, indicating that the chamber is clear of staples.

To prevent staple jams, follow these steps: 1. Pacing: For the first 15 minutes of use, operate the Staple Wasp at half your normal walking pace. Insert a staple fully, ensuring you hear the “clack” of the drive rod hitting the bottom. Confirm the staple is securely in the ground before moving to the next position. This practice helps develop good habits for faster installation. 2. Avoid Short Stroking: Jams often occur from short stroking the gun, causing two staples to stack in the chamber. Always ensure the first staple is fully inserted before moving to the next position. Use short tapping motions (jackhammer method) to clear staples in hard ground conditions. 3. Feel and Listen: Pay attention to the first inch of travel on your downstroke, where the blade shears the staple. Listen for the full stroke “clack” sound to ensure proper insertion. 4. Maintenance: Keep your gun clean using clear spray parts cleaner and lubricate it with silicone spray oil. 5. Initial Use: Start slowly to familiarize yourself with the feel of the downstroke and staple insertion process. For more, see our instructional video for learning how to properly operation your gun. You can also find helpful information on our instructions page.

Encountering rocks, roots, or other foreign objects that cause jams is inevitable. To clear a jam: Remove Staples: Take out any remaining staples from the staple carriage and lock the carriage in the rear position. Access the Chamber: Locate the removable front plate at the bottom front of the gun. This plate has a red latch. Release and Remove: Pull the red latch to open and remove the front plate. Take out the bent or jammed staple from the chamber. Reassemble: Replace the front plate back into its original position. For a detailed demonstration, refer to the Owner Support section of our website. We also have several trouble-shotting videos in our video library.

To keep your Staple Wasp gun in optimal condition, follow these maintenance tips: Cleaning: Keep the gun free of excessive grease or dirt. Use WD-40 or a similar product for cleaning. Avoid using grease as it attracts dirt. Regularly brush off dirt, grass, and grime. Lubrication: Use Liquid Wrench Silicone spray multiple times a day to keep the gun lubricated and running smoothly. Inspection: Inspect the gun daily after use for any loose set screws or nuts. Use a 3/16 Allen Wrench weekly to ensure all set screws remain tight, as cleaners can sometimes loosen them. To properly care for you your gun we recommend watching our Maintenance Video.

Keep a standard 1/4” and 3/8” Allen wrench on hand to tighten any loose set screws, and a small mallet to clear tougher jams by striking the top of the ground shoe.

The number of staples needed per acre can vary based on factors such as slope, soil type, and ground preparation steps. On average, we estimate about 6,000 staples per acre.

Yes, for stationary insertion of a staple, you can run the gun backwards against edging or cement. However, never move the gun backwards along the blanket while installing, as this can impact the back of the staple apron with each step.
