11. The pressure gauge on the right side of your stretching machine indicates regulated

air pressure to the "stretching plates". It is a safe practice to always start a stretch at

around 15 – 20 psi this is accomplished with the Stretcher Bar Regulator (located right

of the toggle switch).

12. If you need more pressure you can always increase stretching pressure. Do not

"overstretch", a tight stretch can be obtained with only 20-30 psi.

13. When you are satisfied with the tension you can staple the canvas to the frame with a

long-nosed pneumatic staple gun, shown in the photo below. The staple gun is operated

upside down and the trigger is depressed with the thumb. Slide the nose of the staple gun

along the angle bar beneath the stretcher frame. Place a staple at least 1 every inch.

13. Release the stretch by flipping the toggle switch the opposite direction, depress the

foot pedal to open the clamp and remove the artwork. Rotate the artwork 90 degrees; use

the deck of your machine and the work surface to support the artwork. This is how you

stretch each end.
