I need to know how to load the stapler. I am totally stymied!

Here is the deal, it says you can use the 1/2" staples, but I tried with the half inch and it will not load! It does load with the 1/4" heavy duty staples. It's not that they don't know HOW to load it, it just wont load which causes confusion.

On the end of the stapler which is opposite the handle, there is a stainless steel looking rectangular block with two holes on top. Push in on that rectangular block (toward the handle) and lift up. The block will lift up and out. You load the staples in the space that is revealed. Make sure to use the larger staples designed for this type of stapler.

To load the stapler, you will need to push the endcap at the back and it will loosen from the spring loaded maganism. Pull it out and load the staples.

It's really quite simple. Just slightly push in and up from the back and the chute will slide out.

Hold the stapler as though you were going to staple something and they use your thumb on the same hand to slide the clear cover away from you. You really shouldn't need to open the stapler because it doesn't use staples. The only time you need to slide open the clear window is if it jams.

It uses standard staples, at least until it breaks. For me that was on the 3rd staple.

The black bottom part the stapler sets on pulls open and as you pull open the bottom part, the staple loader pulls out and you will see the staples. And they are in upside down. You need to load the staples with the pointy side up. Then push the black handle back in and close the stapler.

You see that huge arm like lever in the thumb nail picture? Well, you just draw it down to staple. You load staples (from standard to large -- depending on how many sheets) in that silver casing between the arm and base (there's a switch you press and the staple compartment pops out horizontally) and you are good to go. Hope that helps. It's an awesome piece of machine.

I really don't know, but I will say this: I have numerous different staplers and have tried to use staple from one brand stapler in other staplers that looked like they should fit and even though the staples would fit into the stapler, they would jam and not work properly. It was very frustrating to have every other staple jam in the machine and have to take the time to pry it out. I say just from past experience, it really is best to have the proper staples for the machine you have.

depends on the size of cable you are using - remember the staples are a certain size that are furnished w/the stapler

I have the same problem, except Amazon gave me the following response "Since the return window of the item has been expired and it is not returnable, what I advise you is to contact the manufacturer for the replacement parts. " Stick with STAPLES, get service at a fair price!

I believe I ordered a box of the staples for this stapler. Love this stapler by the way.....

A tiny little box. You'll have to purchase special staples, regular desk stapler staples won't work in it.

No - Stapler jams constantly. It jammed the first day I bought it so I returned it. I was unable to clear the jammed staples. Used the staples as recommended on the box.

I am sorry this stapler did not work well and we no longer have it so I am not sure if it opened or not

No staples and I had a difficult time finding the staples for this stapler. I tried all the major retail stores with no luck and had to order the staples on line.

When I opened mine, the staple slide opened for reloading. After closing that, it I tried to staple and it worked it the open position. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem until I figured out the staples load from the bottom. Goog luck.

Just standard staples; I used the same ones I use in my regular stapler. The machine is exactly like a normal desk stapler; it just has a longer arm.

The stapler flips open. Lift up on the handle and bend it back the staple tray is right under there.
