TROUBLESHOOTING

CLEARING A JAM

1. Remove AC plug from the outlet before removing jammed staples.

2. Press the magazine release button.
   • If the magazine ejects, remove jammed staples from the magazine and proceed to step 6.
   • If the magazine does not eject, proceed to step 3.

3. Use a pen or similar object to disengage the staple driver from the magazine. (See Figure 6)
   • If the staple driver disengages, press the magazine release button and remove the jammed staples. Proceed to step 6.
   • If the staple driver does not disengage, proceed to step 4.

4. Turn the unit upside down with the suction cup feet facing the ceiling and the cord facing away from you. (See Figure 7)

5. Locate the vertical metal slot inside the stapler opening, where the paper sheet is inserted. Verify if staples are present. (See Figure 7a)
   Figure 7a
   • If staples are present, insert a flat head screwdriver or stiff paperclip into the opening. Position the screwdriver at the bottom of the slot and push the staples upward to remove them. (See Figure 8)
   If staples are not present,  insert a flat head screwdriver or stiff paperclip into the opening. Position the screwdriver at the top of the slot and push downward to release the stuck staple driver. You will hear a loud sound as the staple driver moves back into the proper position. (See Figure 8)
   NOTE: Sometimes the staple driver gets stuck lower in the opening where tools will not reach. If the above steps do not work, gently tap the stapler upside down 4-5 times on a hard surface. You will hear a loud sound as the driver moves back into the proper position. (See Figure 9)

6. Reload staples into magazine and test. If the stapler does not operate correctly, contact Uline Customer Service at 1-800-295-5510.
