When the stapler ran out of staples and I replaced them trying three kinds of standard staples including Swingline it refuses to feed.?

When you hold the stapler upside down, you load the staples with the staple flat top side down. I use standard staples with no problem.

Are you feeding them in upside down by any chance? I was trying to do that when i first got it

If they are loaded upside down and it still doesn't close, remove some staples from the strip. A full strip is too long for it to close.

I've just used standard staples and never had a problem. You do drop them in upside down from the way regular staples go in however.

In mine, I can only load 10 staples at a time or the magazine won't close. Not designed very well if it can't take a whole strip of standard staples.

Yes, make sure the pressure is high enough, and that you are loading the staples correctly. I also started using it and it wouldn't fire the staple. I wasn't putting them in right.

I got the same thing. Bad cartridges. I bought some new ones from Staples and they were fine. Don't buy from this vendor. They are sending out a lot of faulty cartridges.

I have not had a problem with mine. If you are using duo-fast staples, then your driver may be bent or your pressure is insufficient.

Make sure the staples are pushed down all the way. Sometimes I have to use a screwdriver to push them down so they lie flat against the bed of the stapler.

They at times. This is designed for heavy duty staples. Standard staples, wont pass through a certain number of pages and will break under pressure of the machine. If they do successfully pass through, look forward to clearing jams regardless. Its cheaper to go the right route and buy the heavy duties one time.

I had one and it was a piece of junk. My neighbor had one and it was also a piece of junk. When hurricane Sandy hit New York it blew out one of my living room windows. My downstairs neighbor helped me staple sheets of plastic over my bookshelves to protect them from the rain. By coincidence we both had powershot staplers and neither of them worked. They would fire two or three staples and jam -- repeatedly. I contacted the manufacturer and got no response. I suggest you throw it out and buy a better stapler, that's what I did.

I used Bostitch crown staples and had no issues. I also used finish nails along the outside edges where I couldn't use the stapler and that worked fine as well. Good luck!!!

I think you need an adapter to make it work but couldn't find any information on your particular stapler sorry.

No, but the staples I purchased for the stapler are Swingline S.F.4 Premium Staples.

I would suggest you go online and google that question or look up that model number to find out because I can't help you with that. I had a heck of a time locating the staples for the stapler I purchased but I'm very pleased with it.

Make sure the staples are the right way ( so the point would go through) and then make sure the back part that slides in clicks. If that doesn't work then maybe yours is defective. That happens.

I have the same problem. I am unable to staple 2 sheets without the staple cutting thru the first sheet and therbye not keeping the pages attached. Bad batch possibly? If their is a solution, I don't know it. 3 sheets or heavy paper works fine

Hi. It doesn't hold one entire strip of staples. It leaves just a few behind. I've been using the Swingline standard staples in mine and it works flawlessly. I've not had one jam. It's also very easy to use and doesn't cause muscle fatigue. My wife has carpal tunnel and has weak hands, so this was a great choice for her too.

To load the stapler, you will need to push the endcap at the back and it will loosen from the spring loaded maganism. Pull it out and load the staples.

Staples work best. The smaller shafts are less likely to split. You may have to adjust depth pressure

I am sorry this stapler did not work well and we no longer have it so I am not sure if it opened or not
