Removing / replacing staple Cartridge
A
You may remove and replace the staple cartridge
while the stapler head assembly is in place.
Open the top cover.
Raise the staple cartridge locking lever (A) as
indicated in the drawing.
Gently twist the staple cartridge (B) from side to
side, and pull out the staple cartridge (B) from the
stapler head.
B
If the staple cartridge is empty, discard it and
replace it with a new one. Before replacing the
cartridge, pull at least 20 mm of the staples out
and tear off at the staple tear line (C) which is
marked on the cartridge. If there has been a
misfeed, and the cartridge still contains staples,
pull 20 mm of staples out of the cartridge and
tear off at the stapler tear line. Check that the
first staple is flat. If not, tear off another 20 mm,
using less force.
C
Insert the cartridge into the stapler head with
the staples facing towards the head mechanism.
The cartridge should be placed flat on the slide
on the bottom of the stapler head and pushed
firmly into the stapler head.
While holding the staple cartridge firmly pressed
into the stapler head, push down the cartridge
locking lever.
note
It is important that the cartridge not is allowed to
move away from the stapler head before the locking
lever is engaged. If that occurs, remove cartridge
and again tear off 20 mm of staples along the staple
tear line before inserting the cartridge.
