If an electric Swingline stapler becomes jammed, open it up and remove the staples. Then you can use a tweezers or something similar to grasp the jammed staple and pull it out.
They don't. The "standard" stapler is the Swingline 747, which is designed to hold a full strip of staples. Smaller staplers like they sell for home use are shorter than the 747, so you have to break the strips of staples to get them in.
The staple has a feature called QuickLoad front magazine that simplifies staple refilling. Press the button on the magazine. Pull out the magazine and load it. Use only the recommended stables for your stapler.
The staples are easy enough to remove from the stapler, I use a staple remove tool that is usually used to remove staples from documents, the type with a long handle. The issue for me is, although this is easy enough to do, this tends to happen several times per day, every day with this stapler. It is time consuming and a bit annoying to deal with this everyday. I suppose I will just trash this stapler, and purchase a new one...
Amazon.com offers mini staples (1,000 - 10,000 per package) for the Swingline Tot 50 staplers.
I had the same problem. I went to a Sears Hardware store. They did not have Swingline staplers and did not know, so I guessed. I brought it home and used it. It worked. I purchased a box of Craftsman Wire Staples #974458. It indicated that it was for use with Craftsman, Duo-Fast and Black and Decker Cobra Manual and Electric Staplers. More important they are described as Heavy-Duty Wide Crown 5/16-in. Wire Staples
Yes, staplers were made in Victorian times, although they are not necessarily the FIRST staplers nor are they exactly like the modern stapler you're used to seeing."Legend" and little historic evidence holds that Louis XV of France owned a rather magnificent stapler during his reign in the 18th century. The staples were gilded and jewel encrusted, the device itself was handmade and he never really had the idea (or need I guess, he was a king after all) to market it to the world.Then, sometime in 19th century America, stapler-like devices began to appear. The first to use something resembling a staple, that is, a short, thin metal shard, was patented in 1859 by Albert Kletzker of St. Louis, MO. His is not the only paper fastening device to appear around this time, and finally in 1879, New Yorker George McGill was awarded for what is widely considered the first commercially viable (and successful) stapler. The ubiquitous office device continued to evolve from there, with strip staples being introduced around 1895, and the first use of the word "stapler" outside a patent application appeared in 1901. Finally, in 1937, the patented and easy-to-use Swingline "Speed Stapler" debuted - the easy-to-use top loading design and stirp staples have remain largely unchanged to this day.
Check out the top of the stapler where the staples are discharged. Use the pliers to pinch the staple and pull towards you, pulling the staple out of the stapler's nose. After that, reassemble the staple gun by putting the magazine back in and screwing in the screw.
Squeeze the loading door on the back to open. Slide out the staple carriage to receive the staples. Push the carriage into the gun and make sure it securely latches. There is a wire guide to let you know how many staples are left.
You can use a stapler to attach felt to your shed roof, but it may not last as long.
Sure they can, as long as the molding is not too thick. Then I would use a finish nailer. An added bonus in using a crown stapler is that there is less chance of damaging the wood.
