Operating Instructions

Once loaded, your stapler is ready for use. Follow these guidelines for effective stapling:

• Document Alignment: Align the papers you wish to staple neatly.
• Position Stapler: Place the stapler over the desired stapling location on your documents.
• Apply Pressure: Press down firmly and evenly on the stapler handle until the staple penetrates and clinches the papers.
• Sheet Capacity: Adhere to the maximum sheet capacity recommended for your specific B8 stapler model to prevent jamming and ensure proper staple formation. These staples are designed for a good sheet capacity, but exceeding the stapler's limit can cause issues.

Maintenance and Storage

Proper care and storage will prolong the life and performance of your Bostitch staples:

• Storage: Store staples in their original packaging in a cool, dry place to prevent rust and damage.
• Handling: Handle staple strips carefully to avoid bending or breaking them, which can lead to jamming.
• Stapler Cleaning: Periodically clean your stapler according to its manufacturer's instructions to remove dust or debris that could interfere with staple feeding.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using your Bostitch B8 PowerCrown Premium Staples, consider the following:

• Staples Not Penetrating:
  • Ensure you are using the correct staple size (1/4-inch) for your stapler.
  • Check if the paper stack exceeds the stapler's maximum sheet capacity.
  • Verify that the staples are loaded correctly with points facing down.
• Staples Jamming:
  • Remove any bent or broken staples from the stapler magazine.
  • Ensure the stapler magazine is fully closed and secured.
  • Avoid using staples that appear damaged or corroded.
  • Clean the stapler's staple channel if debris is present.
• Staples Buckling:
  • This can occur if the paper stack is too thick for the stapler or staple length.
  • Ensure even pressure is applied when stapling.
