Where is the "quickload" button? I can't find a button on mine, and thus I can't figure out how to load new staples.

If the stapler is sitting like you would use it, its on the top at the back. It is a black semi-circle. Press it down and the staple holder will pop open.

Press down on the black piece at the back of the stapler, it's hard to see but it has a small picture of staples on it.

I just ordered one of these (for $87 from Geeks) - a refurb. I come from a copier repair background and would offer some suggestions concerning its jamming issues. As mentioned above - clean the feed roller with alcohol. Make sure you thourghly fan the paper before loading. If you still have jamming - turn the stack of paper over. Paper DOES have different "grain" front to back and one side will allow a better "grip" then the other. I wouldn't believe this if it weren't for my background. It sounds like this machine is more picky than many with it's feed system - but so are some copiers - and there ARE work-arounds. So I'll take my chances with it, and post a review later...

1st of all, do NOT takle it apart. put on safety glasses, unload staples (same as you load them) dig out stuck staple in end. wolla. Whatever it was you tried to staple might be too hard or thick. Jerry

sorry you're having that problem. I'm not. first make sure you have the right staples. I had to buy them from Munix cause any other staples did not work and min jammed, too. Hope this helps. It's a wonderful stapler if you use it right and a very good price. otherwise Perhaps you need to send it back.

In mine, I can only load 10 staples at a time or the magazine won't close. Not designed very well if it can't take a whole strip of standard staples.

I would suggest you go online and google that question or look up that model number to find out because I can't help you with that. I had a heck of a time locating the staples for the stapler I purchased but I'm very pleased with it.

pull the base of the stapler down and the rest will pop away. As you do that the slide that holds the staples will pop out and you will load the staples face out and push the slide back in place. Flip the bottom back in place and you will be all set

Black button at the back of stapler on top. Push it and staple tray pops out of front. Insert staples and push back closed. Best stapler I've ever had!!!

I use standard staples in this stapler. I don't think this stapler requires high capacity staples. I don't think any staples are easy to remove but since these are standard size staples they are no harder to remove than usual.

Hi Sharron - If you just lift the top of the stapler and pull it in an arc toward the back, it should open up. Once it's open, you can pull the bottom part away from the top and the rod that holds in the staples will start to come out. Then you can load the staples in. If it doesn't work, you may have a bad stapler. I love this product when it works, but after two of them broke prematurely, I stopped buying them. I have one that is hanging on, but I think the product is just not made well. It's unfortunate because when it works, it's amazing! Good luck.

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!

There are no staples, I cuts slits in the stack of paper and folds it over to keep them together. It leaves a little whole just under the staple position.

I was walking through Staples today and they had these on the floor and in stock. The sales guy at Staples said they had them since last week. I am pretty upset at Amazon--why is it taking them so long to get them in stock? If I didn't have an amazon gift certificate to use I would cancel my order and buy it at Staples.

Just pull the bottom part (black base) and the center part (silver gray, the part that holds the staples) apart from each other and you'll gain access to the staple chamber for loading. Hope this helps.

I don't know. I threw it out and bought a light touch type stapler from Staples (I already had a couple that were excellent). Most of the time I prefer the Amazon product --e.g. the Amszon shredder versus the Staples shredder-- but this Swingline was unsatisfactory, klunky and incompetent.

Great! Thank you both so much for your responses. It was the one thing I used a lot on the old one I'm replacing, but the documentation and photos do not show that button.Thanks again!

It could be that the staples are too long. If that is not the case then when you are closing the slide squeeze the slide release down by your pinky finger move the slide into closed position and then release
