5.1 Stapling Documents
Follow these steps to staple your documents effectively:
- Gather the sheets of paper you wish to staple. Ensure they are neatly aligned.
- Adjust the paper insertion depth: The stapler features an adjustable paper insertion depth of up to 70 mm. Slide the paper guide to the desired depth to control how far from the edge the staple is placed.
- Place the aligned paper stack into the stapler's throat, ensuring it is flush against the paper guide.
- Firmly press down on the stapler's handle with a smooth, continuous motion until the staple penetrates all sheets and clinches underneath. The cantilever action is designed to make this effortless.
- Release the handle and remove the stapled document.

7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your stapler.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Staples not penetrating paper fully. | Incorrect staple size for paper thickness; too many sheets; worn staples. | Ensure correct staple size (66/8, 66/11, 66/14) for sheet count. Reduce number of sheets. Use fresh, quality Rexel staples. |
| Stapler jams frequently. | Incorrect staple size; misaligned staples; debris in mechanism. | Verify staple size. Ensure staples are loaded correctly and are not bent. Clear any debris from the staple path. |
| Staples are bent or misshapen. | Incorrect staple size; stapling too many sheets; faulty staples. | Use the correct staple size for the paper thickness. Do not exceed maximum sheet capacity. Try a new strip of staples. |
| Stapler feels stiff or difficult to press. | Mechanism needs lubrication; internal debris. | Apply a small amount of light machine oil to moving parts (avoiding areas that contact paper). Clear any visible debris. |
