Product Information

Full details

This 5Star Office Long Arm Stapler is designed for professionals who need to staple larger documents, such as brochures or reports, with precision and ease. Its key benefit is the extended 300mm throat depth, allowing access to the center of A3 sized pages or larger. A potential caveat is its specialized nature; for standard document stapling of smaller stacks, a traditional stapler might suffice.

FAQs

What type of staples does this stapler use?

This stapler typically uses standard 26/6 or 24/6 size staples, which are common for full strip staplers.

What is the maximum number of sheets I can staple?

The stapler is designed to handle a capacity of up to 20 sheets of standard paper.

Can this stapler be used for binding booklets?

Yes, its long arm and 300mm throat depth make it ideal for stapling in the center fold of booklets and brochures.

What does 'tacking' mean in relation to this stapler?

Tacking allows the stapler to fasten papers temporarily to a surface, such as a notice board, without fully clinching the staple.

Is the throat depth adjustable?

Yes, the stapler features an adjustable throat depth, offering greater flexibility for different document sizes.

How do I load staples into the stapler?

Lift the stapler arm, insert a full strip of staples into the magazine, and close the arm firmly until it locks.

What is the main advantage of a long arm stapler?

The primary advantage is the extended throat depth, allowing you to staple documents much further from the edge than a standard stapler.

Troubleshooting

Stapler jams frequently

Ensure you are using the correct size staples. Check for any bent or misaligned staples in the magazine. Clean any debris from the stapling mechanism. Do not exceed the 20-sheet capacity.

Staples do not fully penetrate the paper

Check if the staples are fully loaded. Verify you are not exceeding the stapling capacity. Ensure the anvil (the base plate that bends the staple) is clean and correctly aligned.

Stapler arm feels stiff

A small amount of light machine oil applied to the pivot points can help restore smooth movement. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the arm from moving freely.

Staples are not bending correctly

Inspect the anvil for any damage or debris. The anvil's grooves are designed to bend the staple legs inward. Clean the anvil thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for stapling in the center of large documents like brochures and reports.
  • Robust and durable metal construction ensures a long lifespan.
  • Handles up to 20 sheets, suitable for most office tasks.
  • The long throat depth provides flexibility for various document sizes.
  • Tacking feature adds versatility for temporary displays.

Cons

  • May be overkill for simple, small document stapling.
  • Requires specific long arm staples (though typically uses standard ones).
  • Tacking is a feature, but permanent stapling is the primary function.
  • The black and stainless steel finish, while professional, may show fingerprints.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The stapler comes pre-assembled. To load staples, locate the staple magazine release (usually a small lever or button on the stapler's base or arm). Pull the arm open, insert a strip of appropriate staples (e.g., 26/6 or 24/6), ensuring they are correctly aligned, and close the arm until it clicks shut.

Compatibility: This stapler is designed to work with standard full strips of staples, commonly referred to as 26/6 or 24/6 sizes. Always ensure you are using the correct staple size for optimal performance and to prevent jamming.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
  2. Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the stapling mechanism and pivot points to ensure smooth operation. Do this sparingly to avoid excess.
  3. Jam Removal: If staples jam, carefully remove them using a staple remover or tweezers. Do not force the mechanism.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry place away from extreme temperatures.
