Loading Staples into a Stapler:
- Ensure your stapler is empty of old staples.
- Open the stapler's loading mechanism (this varies by stapler model; typically involves pressing a button or pulling the top open).
- Insert a strip of Rexel No. 16 (24/6) Staples into the staple channel, ensuring the staple legs face downwards.
- Close the loading mechanism securely until it clicks into place.
- Test the stapler on a scrap piece of paper to ensure proper function.

3. Operating Instructions
Once loaded, Rexel No. 16 (24/6) Staples are ready for use with your compatible stapler. Follow your stapler's specific operating instructions for best results.
General Usage:
- Align the papers you wish to staple.
- Position the stapler over the desired stapling point.
- Press down firmly and evenly on the stapler handle until the staple penetrates the paper and clinches underneath.
- These staples can penetrate up to 20 sheets of 80 gsm paper at once. Do not exceed your stapler's maximum capacity or the staple's capacity to prevent jams or damage.
4. Maintenance
Proper storage and handling will ensure the longevity and performance of your Rexel staples.
- Store staples in their original packaging in a dry environment to prevent rust.
- Avoid exposing staples to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Keep staples out of reach of children.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during stapling, consider the following:
- Stapler Jams: Ensure you are using the correct size (No. 16 or 24/6) staples for your stapler. Overloading the stapler with too many sheets of paper can also cause jams.
- Staples Not Penetrating: Verify that the staple size is correct and that you are not exceeding the stapler's or staple's sheet capacity. Ensure the stapler is fully closed and engaged.
- Bent Staples: This can occur if the stapler is not pressed down firmly and evenly, or if the paper stack is too thick.
For persistent issues, consult your stapler's specific instruction manual or contact Rexel customer support.
