Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gun: Remove the protective cap from the needle. Keep this cap safe; always cover the needle when the gun is not in use.
  2. Load the Fasteners: Take a clip of refill pins. Slide the T-shaped end of the clip into the cross-shaped slot located at the top of the gun. Push it down gently until it clicks into place.
  3. Position the Tag: Slide your price tag or label over the needle.
  4. Pierce the Fabric: Push the needle through the fabric. Tip: Always aim for a seam, a clothing label, or the armpit area to avoid leaving visible holes on the main fabric.
  5. Squeeze and Release: Firmly squeeze the trigger all the way in, then release it completely. This action pushes the fastener through the fabric and the tag.
  6. Remove the Gun: Gently pull the needle out of the fabric. Your tag is now securely attached!

How to Change the Needle

Needles can get dull or bend over time. Here is how to replace them safely:

  1. Turn the needle lock lever (located on the side of the gun behind the needle) so it faces forward.
  2. Carefully pull the old needle straight out.
  3. Insert the new needle, making sure the groove on the needle lines up with the slot on the gun.
  4. Turn the needle lock lever back to its original position to lock the needle securely in place.

Gun Care & Maintenance

  • Keep it Covered: Always replace the needle cap when you are done to protect the needle and yourself.
  • Store Properly: Store the gun in a dry, safe place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat.
  • Clean Occasionally: If you notice dust or lint buildup, gently blow it out of the needle slot to prevent jams.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forcing the Trigger: If the trigger feels stuck, don't force it. A pin might be jammed. Remove the needle and clear the jam first.
  • Tagging Thin Fabrics Badly: Never tag directly into the center of a delicate fabric like silk or satin. Always use an existing seam.
  • Using the Wrong Pins: Ensure you are using fine pins for a fine needle gun. Mixing sizes can damage the internal mechanism. Stock up on our reliable Refill Pins.
