3 Easy Steps: How to Load a Bostitch Stapler

Loading a Bostitch stapler is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. First, you need to gather your materials. You will need a Bostitch stapler, a box of staples, and a pair of scissors. Once you have your materials, you can begin the loading process.

To load the stapler, first open the stapler by pressing the button on the back of the stapler. This will cause the stapler to open up, revealing the staple compartment. Next, take a handful of staples and insert them into the staple compartment. Make sure that the staples are facing the correct direction, with the pointed ends facing down. Once the staple compartment is full, close the stapler by pressing the button on the back of the stapler again.

Your stapler is now loaded and ready to use. To use the stapler, simply place the paper that you want to staple into the stapler and press the handle down. The stapler will automatically staple the paper together. If you need to remove the staples, simply open the stapler by pressing the button on the back of the stapler and pulling the staples out of the paper.
