What does 'Low Force Technology' mean?
It means the stapler is engineered to require up to 50% less effort to staple documents compared to traditional staplers, making it easier to use.
What is 'Flat Clinch Stapling'?
Flat clinch stapling flattens the staple legs on the back of the document, creating a smaller, neater stack that saves space and prevents snagging.
How do I reload staples?

Troubleshooting
Stapler jams frequently.
Ensure you are using the correct Rexel Optima HD70 staples. Check the staple strip for any bent or misaligned staples. Clear any obstructions from the staple channel and try again. Do not overload the stapler beyond its 70-sheet capacity.
Staples do not fully penetrate the paper.
Verify that the stapler is loaded correctly with staples. Check if the stapler is overloaded; try stapling fewer sheets. Ensure the anvil (the metal plate at the base) is clean and free of debris.
Stapler lever is stiff or difficult to press.
Check for any obstructions in the stapling mechanism. Ensure the staple strip is loaded correctly and not binding. The low-force technology is designed to make stapling easier, so significant stiffness may indicate a need for cleaning or a potential internal issue.
Stapler does not spring back after use.
This could be due to a jammed staple or an issue with the return mechanism. Carefully check for any lodged staples and remove them. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
