To load staples, first ensure the stapler is unpowered. Locate the staple chamber at the front. Pull out the magazine, insert the staples with the prongs facing up, and slide the magazine back into the stapler until it clicks into place.
First, disconnect the stapler from the power source. Open the front cover, remove any jammed staples using needle-nose pliers, and reload the staple magazine. Ensure everything is aligned before powering the stapler back on.
The staple depth can be adjusted using the depth adjustment knob, usually located near the trigger. Turn the knob clockwise for deeper penetration and counterclockwise for shallower penetration.
Check if the stapler is properly connected to a power source and the power switch is turned on. Ensure the magazine is loaded with staples, and they are not jammed. Inspect the trigger and make sure it is functioning correctly.
It's recommended to clean the stapler after every major project or at least once a month if used frequently. Use compressed air to blow out dust and debris, and wipe down the exterior with a dry cloth.
