How do I change the Staple Cartridge?
You can order new staples by calling 1-800-263-4410.

Then you will see this blue tab (note: if you do not see the blue tab, close the compartment and re-open it). Pull on the blue tab and the staple cartridge will come right out.


To remove the empty cartridge and add a new one, put your fingers on each side (where the arrows are) pinch and pull up. The cartridge will pop right off and you can add the new one.
Then put the blue tab back in its spot and close the compartment.
