Introduction

If you don’t replace the spring yourself, you’ll either have a broken stapler cluttering up your work space or will end up buying a new stapler altogether.

Before using this guide, check to see if the spring itself is damaged. Another possibility of a stapler not working is a staple jam. Be careful when handling the stapler, since it’s possible to staple yourself. We recommend that you empty the staples beforehand.
