Good evening. I imagine that the problem you have is that the blade does not go down?
Well, I don't understand your term Misaligned 2-hand staple failure???
Please, I need you to explain exactly what your problem is.
1) Well, if the problem is that the blade does NOT go down, you should check the clutch carbons of the machine, and see if there is voltage, according to your electrical schematic diagrams, and see if they need replacement, or cleaning and adjustment of the carbons, and the clutch rings.
2) Check the cutting buttons, if they are ok, or dirty, or defective, check if there are loose cables, or cut, or if there is voltage to the cutting buttons for the blade.
Is there an error on your machine?
