Never got staple stuck in a stapler? Did your boss give you the task of stapling a lot of documents? Do not panic. You can do the job. Take it easy. Read the instructions. Learn to fix a jammed stapler.

Steps

Method 1 of 5: Check the degree of seizure

1. 1 Take the stapler, turn it over.
2. 2 Place your fingers on the metal part, just behind the wedge.
3. 3 Assess the jam. Use the knowledge gained to select the appropriate method.

Method 2 of 5: If only the staple is jammed

If only the staple is jammed, use this method.

1. 1 Insert a paper clip into the staple exit.
2. 2 Find the staple and knock it out with a paper clip. It will take some effort, but the stapler will "wedge".

Method 3 of 5: The metal part of the stapler is stuck at the top

1. 1 If one part of the stapler is stuck in another, try the following steps:
2. 2 Remove your fingers from the stapler.
3. 3 Slide a paper clip between the metal part and the top as far as possible.
4. 4 Using a paper clip as a lever, push down on the bottom. This should open the stapler. If there is still a stuck staple, try the previous method.

Method 4 of 5: Failure to Charge Staples Because the Top Does Not Rise

1. 1 If the top does not open, making it impossible to charge the staples, try this method.
2. 2 Grasp the plastic part.
3. 3 Pull it up firmly.
4. 4 Repeat from step two until the stapler opens.
5. 5 If not, try using a metal envelope knife as a lever to open the jammed part.
6. 6 Ready.

Method 5 of 5: Using a binder

1. 1 Open the stapler. Flip it over.
2. 2 Find a small round hole on the metal piece.
3. 3 Use the teeth of the opener to hook into the hole.
4. 4 Squeeze the stapler and pull it down until you unlock the stapler.
