Using a stapler, you can fasten materials of small width and density without any nails. This is an indispensable tool in the office, construction and furniture industry. In the article, we will figure out how to insert paper clips into the stapler.
Office Staplers
These tools are very simple and designed for the average average citizen who is not versed in technical "troubles". Everything is simple here. Fold the top cover - and the spring with the clamping mechanism has moved back. Insert the clip holder with the tips down and close the lid. The clamping mechanism returns to its place, and the tool is ready for work again.
Those who wish can watch the video in which the boy shows how to do it right.
Construction staplers
They are more massive and have a slightly different structure, although the principle of operation is the same. The spring-loaded clamping mechanism pushes the clip holder to the percussion clip, after each actuation, the next clip takes its starting position and, as a result of pressing the spring key, the percussion mechanism drives it to the right place, thereby pressing the clip onto the next sheet of cardboard against the wall, the material against the wood of which the frame is made upholstered furniture, or only to the formwork of the future concrete foundation. Let's see how to insert paper clips into a construction stapler.
Wrong option
The mistake of many is that when staples end in the stapler, they, having pulled out the bilateral protrusions of the frame lock, open it and try to insert the next clip holder through the front part from the side of the percussion mechanism. As a result, with an awkward movement, the spring mechanism throws the clip back and forth, and it flies away for many meters, after which it takes a long time to find it. Often, the clip can fly into the eye of the unlucky “stapler operator”. Here is a video that shows how to not do it, although the operator himself is unaware of this.
Correct option
The correct way to insert paper clips into a stapler of a construction or furniture variety is to press the back of the spring clip mechanism holder to release its groove from the lock hole and pull it out completely. After that you can even insert more than one clip into the frame and return the mechanism spring to its place, thereby ensuring its uninterrupted operation for a long time. Here is a video of how to do it right.
Opening the frame as in the first, wrong case should only be when one of the staples is stuck in the exit slot.
