To load a furniture stapler, especially a bottom-load model as indicated by the reference, you need to access the staple magazine correctly.
Loading a Bottom-Load Stapler
The process for loading staples into a bottom-load furniture stapler involves releasing and accessing the magazine where the staples are placed.
Based on the provided reference, here are the initial steps to prepare for loading:
- Position the Tool: The first piece of advice is to turn the tool upside down before you begin the loading process. This is recommended because otherwise, the stapler "loses tables" (meaning staples). Keeping it inverted helps retain any potential loose staples or ensures the magazine mechanism is correctly oriented.
- Open the Latch: Next, you need to open the latch. This latch is typically located at the rear or bottom of the stapler and secures the staple magazine in place.
- Pull the Magazine: After opening the latch, pull the magazine out from the bottom of the stapler body. This action exposes the channel where the staples are inserted.
Once the magazine is pulled out, you can insert a strip of the correct size and type of staples into the channel. Ensure the staples are oriented correctly (usually legs down). After placing the staples, carefully push the magazine back into the stapler body until it clicks into place, and then close and secure the latch.
