Removing / replacing staple Cartridge

You may remove and replace the staple cartridge

while the stapler head assembly is in place.

Open the top cover.

Raise the staple cartridge locking lever (A) as

indicated in the drawing.

Gently twist the staple cartridge (B) from side to

side, and pull out the staple cartridge (B) from the

stapler head.

If the staple cartridge is empty, discard it and

replace it with a new one. Before replacing the

cartridge, pull at least 20 mm of the staples out

and tear off at the staple tear line (C) which is

marked on the cartridge. If there has been a

misfeed, and the cartridge still contains staples,

pull 20 mm of staples out of the cartridge and

tear off at the stapler tear line. Check that the

first staple is flat. If not, tear off another 20 mm,

using less force.

Insert the cartridge into the stapler head with

the staples facing towards the head mechanism.

The cartridge should be placed flat on the slide

on the bottom of the stapler head and pushed

firmly into the stapler head.

While holding the staple cartridge firmly pressed

into the stapler head, push down the cartridge

locking lever.

note

It is important that the cartridge

not is allowed to

move away from the stapler head before the locking

lever is engaged. If that occurs, remove cartridge

and again tear off 20 mm of staples along the staple

tear line before inserting the cartridge.
