I never had the lid get stuck, but I've experienced the cups bottom getting stuck so I just carefully lifted it up. Perhaps you could do the same in the opposite direction.

Yes, must be stuck. Try some "Liquid Wrench" or "WD-40." They must have put the rivet in too tight.

Make sure the attachment is pushed all the way in, then turn the locking ring at the top of the handle. It can be difficult to turn!

the internal needle is also needs to be removed by circulating it, be cousin it needs strong push then you can make it out of the gun, hope this helped you,

Hello: the plunger is probably in the locked position. While holding the black ring, turn the clear top part until it releases.

You don't have the needle in correctly.you have to push it in an turn it to lock in place.

Yeah, we had that same issue. We tried several different approaches and currently have it 'curled' in the opposite direction and have a large rubber band holding it. Hopefully this will finally make the large lid useful.

Hi Patricia, Apply pressure to the top (press down firmly and at the same time unlatch). That should do it! Patrick

I had the same problem. You should be able to unscrew the lid. If not, use plyers. Then take a screwdriver amd just keep "stabbing" that flat part until you puncture it. All you need is a small hole. Hope that helps!

Michael, most likely a staple is lodged and stuck. Did you take the nose apart to find the culprit? I am surprised this happened because Fasco is a good machine. What kind of staples are you using?

I tried to replicate this issue with both of mine and could not. Sometimes if you do not have the prongs lined up correctly with the center piece the lid will not advance correctly but it will not keep spinning around. I think you may have a defective one. A return would be my suggestion.

This alone won't help. It is mainly for adding to compost. I would try putting a screen over the intakes of your drains to keep the needles out completely.

Take an equally small flat head screwdriver and pop the lid with it by putting it under the edge (just a little) closest to the middle (same side as the screw hole). I just tried it, as it has been quite a while. I had to gently 'pop' it in two spots on that edge.

Something may not be connected correctly inside the tool or the button may not be slide forward tight enough. Try taping the slide into position, just be careful to not bend the needle since you can't retract it without undoing the tape.

i am not sure. but if you cannot get it off and the needle is on there so tight it cant come off. i would think that putting the top on it and making sure it sitting upright should work.

If you grab the cone shaped canister and turn it counter clockwise it should come loose. You might try using a rubber glove or a damp dish rag or washcloth to get a better grip.
