Introduction

This manual provides instructions for the proper setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your Amazon Basics Effortless Handheld Plier Stapler, Model E0358. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the stapler to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Setup

Loading Staples

To load staples, locate the quickload button on the rear of the stapler. Press this button to release the staple channel. Insert a strip of 26/6 (1/4 inch) staples into the channel with the staple points facing forward. Push the channel back into the stapler until it clicks securely into place.

Operating Instructions

Stapling Documents

Align the papers to be stapled and insert them between the stapler's jaws. Ensure the papers are positioned correctly for the desired staple placement. Press the handles together firmly and evenly until the stapler fires a staple. The stapler is designed for effortless operation, requiring less force than traditional staplers.

Sheet Capacity

This stapler can staple up to 25 sheets of standard weight paper at a time.

Versatile Stapling Angles

The handheld design allows for stapling at various angles, making it suitable for different tasks beyond flat documents, such as attaching labels or closing small bags.

Temporary Pinning

The stapler features a rotatable anvil. Rotate the anvil to switch between permanent stapling and temporary pinning. Temporary pins can be easily removed without tearing paper.

Maintenance

General Care

Keep the stapler clean and free from dust and debris. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth as needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Clearing Jams

In the event of a staple jam, first ensure the stapler is not loaded with paper. Carefully open the staple channel by pressing the quickload button. Remove any bent or misfired staples from the channel and the stapling mechanism. Close the staple channel securely before attempting to staple again.

Troubleshooting

• Staples not penetrating paper: Ensure you are using the correct staple size (26/6 or 1/4 inch) and that the paper stack does not exceed the 25-sheet capacity. Apply firm, even pressure when stapling.
• Staples bending or misfiring: Check for staple jams as described in the Maintenance section. Ensure staples are loaded correctly and are not damaged.
• Stapler feels stiff or difficult to operate: Verify that the staple channel is fully closed and that no foreign objects are obstructing the mechanism.
