Troubleshooting
Stapler jams frequently.
Ensure you are using the correct staple size (24/6 or 26/6). Check that staples are loaded correctly and not bent. Do not exceed the 12-sheet capacity.
Staples do not fully penetrate the paper.
Check the staple strip; it might be nearly empty or the staples may be of poor quality. Ensure the stapler is fully closed on the paper stack. If stapling the maximum 12 sheets, try reducing to 10 for smoother operation.
Stapler feels stiff or difficult to squeeze.
Check for any obstructions in the stapling mechanism. Lightly lubricate the hinge point with a small amount of machine oil if necessary, wiping away any excess. Ensure the staple magazine is clean and free of debris.
Staples bend or buckle instead of forming a proper staple.
This usually indicates that the staple is not properly seated in the anvil (the part that bends the staple legs). Check that the staple strip is straight and that the stapler is aligned correctly with the paper edge.
