FAQs

What type of staples does the Q-Connect KF01231 use?

This stapler is designed for standard No. 26/6 or 24/6 staples.

What is the maximum number of sheets this stapler can handle?

It can staple up to 26 sheets of standard office paper at one time.

What is the throat depth of this stapler?

The throat depth is 80mm (approximately 8 cm).

Does this stapler support pinning (temporary stapling)?

No, this model is designed for permanent stapling only and does not support pinning.

How do I know when to reload staples?

The stapler features a handy indicator that visually alerts you when the staple strip is running low.

Is the stapler made entirely of metal?

The main body and construction are all-metal for durability, with an ABS plastic cap for comfortable handling.

How should I clean the stapler?

Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure no liquid gets into the internal mechanism. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Stapler jams or fails to staple

Ensure you are using the correct staple size (26/6 or 24/6). Check for bent or misfed staples in the channel and remove them. Ensure the stapler is not overloaded beyond its 26-sheet capacity. Clear any obstructions and try again.

Staples are not fully formed or bent

This often indicates an overloaded stapler or worn staples. Reduce the number of sheets being stapled or ensure you are using fresh, undamaged staples. Check the anvil (the base plate) for wear or damage.

Stapler feels stiff or difficult to operate

The stapler may require cleaning or lubrication. Clean any dust or debris from the moving parts. Apply a tiny amount of light machine oil to the hinge and staple channel, then work the stapler several times. Wipe away any excess oil.

Staple indicator does not show when staples are low

Ensure the indicator is not obstructed. If the issue persists, it may be a mechanical fault with the indicator mechanism. Continue to monitor staple levels visually.
