General Care
To ensure longevity and optimal performance, keep the stapler clean and free of dust. Periodically check for any loose parts and ensure the staple slide mechanism operates smoothly.

- Staples jamming frequently: Verify that the staple slide mechanism is fully inserted and engaged. Use high-quality staples of the correct size. Refer to the "Clearing Staple Jams" section for removal.
