2. Compatibility

These STCR 2115/6mm staples are specifically designed for use with Bostitch staplers and other stapling tools that are compatible with STCR 2115 series staples with a 6mm leg length. Always verify your stapler's specifications to ensure proper fit and function. Using incorrect staple sizes can lead to stapler malfunction or poor fastening results.

3. Setup: Loading Staples

1. Identify Stapler Magazine: Locate the staple magazine on your compatible stapler. This is typically a spring-loaded tray or channel.
2. Open Magazine: Depending on your stapler model, either pull the magazine release button or slide the magazine open. Refer to your stapler's specific instruction manual for detailed loading procedures.
3. Insert Staples: Place a strip of Bostitch STCR 2115/6mm staples into the magazine with the pointed ends facing forward (towards the stapling mechanism). Ensure the strip lies flat and correctly within the channel.
4. Close Magazine: Carefully push the magazine back into place until it locks securely. Do not force it.
5. Test Stapling: Perform a test staple on a scrap piece of paper to ensure the staples are loaded correctly and the stapler is functioning properly.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the staples are loaded into a compatible stapler, follow these general operating guidelines:

• Position Document: Place the documents or materials to be stapled under the stapler's head, aligning them where you wish the staple to be placed.
• Apply Pressure: Firmly press down on the stapler's handle or top mechanism until the staple penetrates the material and clinches on the underside.
• Check Fastening: Verify that the staple has fully penetrated and securely fastened the materials. If not, adjust the material thickness or stapler position and try again.
• Safety: Always keep fingers clear of the stapling mechanism. Do not staple towards yourself or others.

5. Maintenance and Storage

Proper maintenance and storage will ensure the longevity and performance of your Bostitch staples:

• Keep Dry: Store staples in a cool, dry place away from moisture and humidity. Exposure to moisture can lead to rust, which can damage staples and cause stapler jams.
• Original Packaging: Keep staples in their original packaging until ready for use to protect them from environmental elements and physical damage.
• Avoid Bending: Do not bend or deform staple strips, as this can cause feeding issues in the stapler.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using your Bostitch STCR 2115/6mm staples, consider the following:

• Stapler Jams:
  • Ensure the staples are correctly loaded in the magazine.
  • Check if the staples are the correct size (STCR 2115/6mm) for your stapler.
  • Inspect the stapler for any bent or broken staples lodged in the mechanism and carefully remove them.
  • Avoid overfilling the stapler magazine.
• Staples Not Penetrating:
  • Verify that the material thickness is within the stapler's capacity.
  • Ensure sufficient pressure is applied when stapling.
  • Check if the stapler's anvil (the part that clinches the staple) is set correctly for the material.
• Bent Staples:
  • This often indicates that the material is too thick for the staple or stapler, or the stapler is not compatible with this staple type.
  • Ensure the staples are not damaged or rusted.
