CAUTION : READ CAREFULLY
Your stapler can be an important part of your business. Proper care in maintenance
can give you years of satisfactory service.
The major problem on any type, size or brand of stapler is in "JAMMING" of the
stapler head.
The cause of jamming is usually one or more of the following:
• Incorrect staples being used
• Double stapling in the same place
• Paper stack is too thick
• Stapler head end has "sprung"
• Stapler head not in alignment with anvil
• Driver blade broken on tips
NOTE: It is very important that, should a head jam caution be used in cleaning out
the jammed staple(s). DO NOT use tweezers, screwdrivers, pocket knife, letter
opener, pliers or other heavy tools.
Use ONLY the Guide Pin that you use to align the head or an instrument that is no
thicker than the staple width. Anything else will damage the head beyond repair and
the head will need to be replaced. The 90 day warranty on the stapler will be voided if
head shows evidence of improper jam removal. If you have damaged the head, you
can replace this in your shop. If you have lost the Guide Pin or head adjustment
wrench, they should be ordered when you order a new head.
If your stapler head jams:
Remove the head from the stapler. If plunger drive blade is stuck in the down
position, DO NOT attempt to open the staple slide yet. The plunger is the round (or
rectangular) piece that is pushed down by the solenoid. Pull the plunger until it is in
the up position.
Staple slide may now be opened by pushing DOWN on the release pin located on
the front of the staple head (this part is typically covered with blue plastic) If slide
still does not open, push UP on small circular part on left side of head.
Once staple slide has been pulled out, jammed staple can be removed. Use
Alignment Pin to push out jammed staple. If Alignment Pin is not available, use an
instrument that is no thicker than a staple.
