What You Will Need
Before we start, let’s make sure you have all the necessary supplies. You will need:
- A stapler that requires refilling
- A suitable staple cartridge
- Replacement staples
Step 1: Identify the Staple Cartridge
The first thing you need to do is identify the staple cartridge on your stapler. This can usually be found at the front or back of the stapler, depending on the model. Look for a release button or latch that will allow you to access the cartridge.
Step 2: Release the Staple Cartridge
Once you have located the cartridge, press the release button or pull the latch to open it. This will give you access to the empty staple tray.
Step 3: Remove the Empty Staples
To remove the empty staples, gently slide them out of the tray. Be careful not to bend or damage them, as this could affect the performance of your stapler.
Step 4: Insert the Replacement Staples
Take your replacement staples and insert them into the tray, making sure they are facing the correct way. Most staples have a slight curve, so make sure the curve is facing downwards.
Step 5: Close the Staple Cartridge
Once you have inserted the replacement staples, close the staple cartridge by pushing it back into place until it clicks or locks into position. This will secure the staples inside and prepare your stapler for use.
Step 6: Test Your Stapler
Finally, test your stapler by pushing down on the stapler head or handle. If the staples come out smoothly and securely fasten papers together, congratulations! You have successfully refilled your stapler.
Refilling a stapler is an easy process that ensures you can continue using your stapler without any inconvenience. By following this step-by-step guide, you can quickly and effortlessly refill your stapler whenever necessary. So, the next time your stapler runs out of staples, don’t worry. Just follow these steps, and you’ll be back to stapling in no time!
