Charge the furniture stapler. Features of construction staplers: how to choose, how to fill with staples
How staples can be inserted into the stapler
Before answering this question, let's take a quick look at the features of the tool and consumable. In particular, there are 3 types of staplers:
- mechanical (manual);
- pneumatic;
- electric - network and battery.
It should be noted that this is the main classification, but there are others here. For example, this instrument is divided into 2 groups - professional and household. In addition, depending on the purpose, there are stationery, construction and furniture. Each type is designed to perform specific tasks. For homework, a household tool is quite enough, because you will only use it from time to time. Accordingly, buying a professional stapler will only be an unjustified waste of money. There is nothing to say about stationery staplers - this is very simple fixtures, probably familiar to everyone.
At the same time, it should be emphasized that the principle of charging for all staplers is approximately the same. Of course, there are some differences here, of course, but they are by and large insignificant. Let's look at the simplest example of how to properly insert staples into a small stapler (also called a clerical stapler). Today, such a device is probably in every family, so many are fine 
know how to prepare the tool for work.
The first step is to pull up the back or front of the top cover. A clip will open in front of you. Now you should push the spring back, until it stops, and then insert the plate with brackets. Then it remains only to return the lid to its reverse position, making sure that there is a click. That's it - the stapler is ready to go. It remains only to check it on some unnecessary sheet of paper, shooting off one or two staples.
Approximately according to the same principle, it is charged and furniture stapler... Only here, first of all, it is necessary to put the instrument on the safety catch. This precaution will not be superfluous if you are loading the staples into a large stapler, regardless of its type. The fuse is a good protection against accidental shooting, and therefore we do not recommend neglecting basic safety rules. Do not forget that the professional tool is powerful enough, and the staple may well fit tightly into soft tissues.
However, let's get back to the main question. So, putting the tool on the fuse, we need to get access to the clip for the staples. There may be different variants... In some models, you just need to pull the box towards you, in others - press a special button or release the latch. The instruction manual supplied with the instrument will tell you how to do this. However, if there is none, that's okay. Even a person who has never held such a model in his hands can figure out what's what. Everything is really very simple here. Having gained access to the clip, we put a plate with brackets there and return the box to its original position. In many models, a characteristic click will indicate the correctness of the action.
When inserting staples into an electric or pneumatic stapler, it is recommended to disconnect the tool from the mains or the compressor. For a cordless tool, simply put it on the fuse. However, for reliability, you can disconnect the battery. Well, the sequence of actions here will be the same. That is, we first get access to the box, then we fill it consumable, after which we return the clip to its place. Of course, there are minor differences depending on the model. However, they can hardly be called critical.
Separately, I would like to note the filling of the printer or copier with staples. Here it will already be necessary to act somewhat differently. The main difference is that in this office equipment the entire cartridge with consumables is changed at once. Accordingly, first of all, you will need to buy a new one. When buying, be sure to check if this type is suitable for your printer or copier. After all, there may be different options. Next, we find the finisher and remove the empty cartridge from it. Where exactly this compartment is located, you can find out from the instruction manual or ask the corresponding request in the Internet search engine. Typically, you press the release tabs to remove the cartridge from the finisher. Now all that remains is to install a new cartridge.
And in conclusion, I would like to say a few words about staple staples. They are different - primarily in size. Staples are also distinguished by the material of manufacture. Therefore, before buying, it is better to consult with the seller about which consumables are suitable, for example, for furniture. After all, the wrong choice may well have a negative impact on the quality of work. In addition, many staplers do not work with small staples. Therefore, for each model, you need to select consumables taking into account the size of the latter.
The material from which the staples are made is also important. For example, aluminum are the cheapest, but they are not reliable. Therefore, such staples can be used only if no physical impact will then be exerted on the fixation site or for fastening thin materials. Copper brackets are quite expensive, as are stainless steel consumables. They are used only in a rather limited way - mass use is simply unprofitable. The most popular option is regular steel braces. Here is probably the most best ratio between price and quality. By the way, you can just take one of the staples with you to the store, or paper box- in this case, it will be simply impossible to make a mistake with the choice.
A stapler (translated from English. "Stapler") is a necessary thing in the office. The stationery stapler is designed for quickly stapling sheets of paper with metal staples.
Types of staplers
Staplers are divided into several types: according to the number of sheets that can be stitched at the same time.
Mini stapler
Compact model that fits in your pocket. Staples 10 to 20 sheets. Mini stapler staples are different: 10, 24/6. The design and color of the case is very interesting: colored, transparent, there are devices that look more like a toy than a stapler itself.
Desktop stapler
Sufficiently compact stapler, does not slip on the table and does not leave scratches on it, as it has a rubber sole. Staples 10 to 50 sheets. Standard staples are used: 10, 24 / 6-8.
Bookbinding stapler
A specialized stapler with adjustable stitching depth. Equipped with a ruler for ease of use. Stitches brochures, catalogs and newspapers at the fold of the pages. Designed for different amount sheets, works on different staples.
Printing or typographic stapler
The most powerful stapler. Staples archives, bulky reams of paper. Used in government agencies, libraries, clinics. On average, it can sew up to 250 sheets. Designed for both standard and specialized brackets.
Anti-stapler (de-stapler)
Used to remove the staple from the paper. The stapler remover is often built into the stapler itself, it extends from the back of the stapler and uses the pointed tip to pry and remove the staple. But a small object resembling a frog looks much more original on the table, which firmly grips the bracket from both sides. Staple removers come in the form of regular paper knives with a curved tip.
Stapler plier
The plier is a special stapler in the form of pliers, it can be used in a canopy. Plier is used by florists when packing bouquets; it is suitable for attaching labels or tags to fabric.
Tucker
This is a "mounting stapler" made in the form of pliers. Hammers staples like nails. It is used for pinning ads and posters. Interestingly, many of the desktop staplers in use today function as a tacker.
Staplers also differ in the type of staples that are used with them.
Stapler No. 10
Suitable for stapling a small number of sheets, typically up to 15 sheets of standard weight paper.
Stapler No. 23
The most powerful stapler.
Works with 23 types of staples. Staples up to 260 sheets of paper, depending on the length of the staple used.
Staplers No. 24
Universal stapler, staples both small quantities (1-2 sheets) and large ones (20-30 sheets).
What to look for when choosing a stapler
... Staples
The brackets are always written with two numbers, for example, 24/6 - what does this mean?
The first number is the type of staple. This is a conventional unit that includes the staple width, cross-sectional dimensions and wire steel grade (gauge) defined for this standard.
The second number is the leg height. It is measured in millimeters. The higher the leg height, the large quantity sheets can be stapled. The thickness of the staple increases in proportion to its height. To determine the maximum thickness of the sheets to be stitched, subtract 3-4 mm for their bend from the length of the legs.
When choosing the length of the staple leg, remember the main rule - 2/3 of the leg should be in the material to be fastened, and 1/3 will hold the fastened material.
A high-quality staple is made of a notched wire (equal in diameter on any segment) - then all staples will be equal. Quality staples have pointed ends that allow for easy paper piercing.
What material for the staple should I choose? For bonding thick paper and large stacks, we recommend using staples made of steel wire, since it is stronger than galvanized iron. By the way, all staples with a leg height of 10 mm or more are made of steel.
The quality of the staples is related to the reliability of the stapler, so if you are buying a quality stapler, you should also purchase the corresponding staples.
. Internal organization stapler
The internal mechanism of the stapler is very important and will affect the operation of the device.
The stapler's motor system is driven either by a spring or by a special metal plate. What's better? The plate is more practical: it lasts longer and provides a smoother glide, and the spring tends to stretch. The stapler tongue is made of metal (more durable) or plastic (ensures smooth feeding of staples).
... Body and design
Pay attention to the material from which the stapler is made - its durability depends on it. The metal case is more reliable in operation and looks very impressive. But plastic also has advantages: it is lighter, easier to transport, and more pleasant to hold in your hands. Models with combined cases are very convenient: metal + plastic, metal + rubber, metal + plastic + rubber.
The color of the stapler depends on the size and specific application.
The more powerful the stapler, and the more functions it performs, the more restrained its color.
... Power and depth
The characteristics of the stapler always indicate the power of punching (or the amount of binding) - how many sheets or millimeters of paper the stapler pierces. As a rule, office paper with a density of 80 g / m2 is taken into account.
The piercing depth is the distance from the edge of the paper to where it is pierced. The depth of stapling in mini-staplers is 35-40 mm, for desktop staplers - from 50 mm or more.
... Package
The packaging will always tell about the quality of the stationery, be it a stapler or staples for it. In addition, the product itself must be labeled indicating the country of origin, the company and the type of staple used. Sometimes the stapler comes with a package of staples.
... Paper
Thickness standard sheet office paper - 80g / sq.m It should be borne in mind that, depending on the thickness of the sheets to be stapled, the stapling power will also vary.
How to charge the stapler
Before loading the stapler, determine the size of the staples that will fit the stapler.
The number of the staple used in a particular stapler is written on the package.
Peel back the stapler cover. It is connected by a spring to a plastic element that presses the staples against the opposite edge of the metal groove in which the staples are placed. Opening the lid will pull the spring and the plastic element behind it, thus making room for new staples.
Take one section of staples and place them in the metal groove, ends down. Close the lid and click to sample with the stapler once. If a staple with ends concave inward fell out of it, then everything works, but if this did not happen, or the staple is bent incorrectly, repeat the procedure or change the stapler.

A mechanical stapler allows you to nail down plastic panels, clamps for lining, fabric for furniture, wood or plastic surfaces.
There are three types of staplers: mechanical, electrical and pneumatic.
Mechanical staplers are affordable, compact, lightweight and easy to maneuver. Further we will tell only about them.
How to choose a stapler?
In short, it is undesirable to buy the cheapest options, and also plastic models. Metal tool more powerful and more reliable.
Choose professional models that have an adjusting screw (wing) at the top. It helps to regulate the force with which the tool will pierce the material.
Many people forget
Before working, adjust the adjusting screw according to the material of the surface to be worked on.
If it is tough plywood, strong punching will be required, therefore it is worth setting a lot. If this is a loose surface, the force must be reduced so as not to break through the fabric, or for example pvc panel which you shoot.
During operation, it is recommended to press the lever with one hand, and press the adjusting screw with the thumb of the other hand. Then the recoil will be minimal and the load will be evenly distributed in the stapler. You will be able to hammer in the parentheses much better.
How to insert staples into the receiver
The design of all mechanical hammers is practically the same. There is a lever handle, due to which the pressing occurs, and at the bottom of the stapler there is a metal plate that opens the receiver. This is where we have to load the staples.
Before buying brackets from a hardware store, you need to know which size will fit your device. As a rule, the size and type of suitable brackets are indicated on its body.
For example, the body of our stapler has a width of 12 mm and a depth of 6-14 mm. This means that you will only be able to charge staples from that range.
Smaller or larger brackets will not fit the receiver. The size of the staples in millimeters is also indicated on their packaging.
To load projectiles into the stapler, you need to open the metal plate on the back surface.
To do this, you need to take it big and forefinger on both sides, then pull towards you and slightly down. Thus, we squeeze the metal tab on the back of the plate, and draw out a metal spring, similar to that found in a conventional office stapler.
If there are still staples in your stapler, they will fall out when the spring is pulled out. If they are not there, then the time has come to put new ones for further work.
The staples are inserted into the receiver (hole at the “P” position).
How many shells will fit
Now a little about how many shells fit in a stapler. The staples are sold in small rows. The row can be divided into several parts by yourself, slightly breaking it with your hands.
The tool is filled with 1-1.5 rows. 2 rows are rarely placed in the receiver, so if there is a lot of work to be done, it is better to prepare the halves of the rows before starting work.
What to do if the bracket is stuck
It is worth noting another very important point that will help you in your work.
How to fill a construction stapler with staples
It happens that the staples will bend and get stuck in the outlet. They cannot be driven into the surface and cannot be pulled out by hand.
In this case, we need to pull out the feed magazine completely.
This opportunity exists for almost all professional staplers.
To begin with, you will have to repeat the opening of the metal plate and pull out the spring.
This will pull out the entire feed magazine that was in the tool.
You will see a jammed staple that can now be easily removed by hand.
Assembling the stapler back is easy: the entire removed block is returned to its place with a push.
When doing this, you should hear a click. Do not forget to replace the spring afterwards.
Not only brackets
Some staplers can work not only with staples, but also with studs. different forms... The designations of what the stapler works with are indicated on its body or in the instructions.
I fill the nails into the stapler in the same way as with the staples, but you need to be careful after pulling out the spring. A row of studs must be loaded along one of the outer edges of the letter "P", and not inside this very letter!
If you want, when working with a stapler, he issued two nails at once next to each other, the second row is loaded along the second outer edge. Then the spring is inserted and the stapler closes
Stapler, how to charge a construction stapler?
Very often in construction, it becomes necessary to connect parts. This is done with nails or staples. On modern level a tool such as a stapler is used. There are many types of this tool, but in all the principle is the same - stapling. You can recharge the stapler yourself when they run out.
How to refill the stapler
They, like a stapler, are sold in any hardware store or at construction markets... There are features that you can watch in this video.
To insert new block staples in the construction stapler, remove the clamping bar, which is located in the back of it from below
Next, insert the staples down with their paws and again insert the clamping bar. In order for the stapler to work without interruption and not hit two or three staples at once (you must admit that this happens for many), you need to use only those staples recommended by the stapler manufacturer.
A stapler is a universal thing. It will always come in handy not only in a professional, but also in a home environment. Nailing insulation, covering the greenhouse with foil, changing the upholstery of furniture or fixing the cable - the possibilities for use are wide. There are a lot of pistols on the market today, it is not always easy to know which one is better. But it is important to understand this issue, because different types pistols are used in different ways. The device, the type of tool, the size of the staples - the head can go round.
Pistols can be divided into several groups:
- mechanical;
- electrical;
- pneumatic.
Application of mechanical staplers
Usually, a simple mechanical device is used in everyday life. In another way, it is called a construction stapler. If the tool is needed for one-time use (upholstery in a greenhouse), then it will be quite enough. It can be made of plastic or metal. Plastic is cheap, but breaks down quickly. Metal is more reliable and slightly more expensive. Which one is more suitable, you need to decide on your own.
What if the choice fell on a mechanical construction stapler? How to use? Very simple.
Tips for using a mechanical stapler:
Operation of electrical appliances
Most often, electric furniture staplers are used to tighten interior items and for other large-scale repair work... They differ from mechanical ones by more massive charges. Their service life is longer. And it's easier to use electric ones. Such a furniture stapler costs several times more than mechanical models.
Often people ask a question about a stapler for furniture. How to choose? There are many options. Electric staplers differ in the following parameters:
How to insert staples into an electric furniture stapler? The scheme is simple. It is enough to find a button on the back of the pistol and pull out the slide bar. Then load the brackets with the ends down and slide the gutter. It is important to observe safety precautions.
Pneumatic Construction Staplers
Differences from mechanical and electrical devices:
Staplers are useless without staples. And "cartridges" differ in many ways. The manufacturers themselves make all kinds of stapler shells.
Material:
Hardness:
- Simple - suitable for working with pliable materials.
- Hard - used to interact with dense materials such as plastic and wood.
- Hardened - for the most stubborn surfaces.
Sharpening the ends of the staples will be an important point. Sharp? It will be much easier to clog.
- Flat - the most common types of staples, their choice is very large.
- Semicircular - more often used to secure the cable.
- The pins (similar to the letter "T") are used to hide the fasteners. The most inconspicuous.
Each stapler has its own type of staple. The marking is indicated on the gun box or on the body. It is important to use only staples that are suitable for marking, otherwise the device will work, firing at several fasteners or not work at all.
What to do if the pistol does not pop out a staple:
Safe working technique
Using a mechanical stapler.
By observing the safety rules when using the device, you will avoid unnecessary injuries. And the device will last longer:
When working with an electric or pneumatic stapler, the safety rules described for the power tool must be observed. More important:
It's easy to get along with mechanical, electric or pneumatic staplers. But it is important to use the tool correctly. You need to charge it with fasteners with the markings that are indicated for your model. And also it is necessary to adjust the mechanism for the right strength driving in staples. The main thing is to follow the safety rules when using. Careful handling and accuracy in use are the key to productive work with any stapler.
The first paper stapler was made in the 18th century for the French emperor Louis XV. Each brace was marked with a royal seal.
In 1867, D. McGill received a patent for a press, which made it possible to fasten sheets using brass fixtures.
His device became the basis for modern staplers. Modern devices are smaller and lighter. They are much more convenient to use.
Types of staplers
In 1997, the stapleless stapler was invented. This stapler holds sheets together in small strips cut from paper. Therefore, its owner does not have a question about how to charge the stapler. There are three types of staplers: standard, mini and construction.
They are equipped with a manual or electric drive. A stationery stapler is used to staple paper sheets with metal staples. With its help brochures and notebooks are made. The conventional stapler staples up to 50 sheets. One pack contains 20 plates with 50 staples each. When you press the handle of the device, the spring, which is inside, stretches and unfolds, driving in the bracket. It passes through the paper and hits the deflection plate, which folds over its ends. Some stapler models fold the staples in two different ways: inward or outward. In the second case, the bracket can be easily pulled out. This stitching method is used to temporarily secure sheets. On the back of some models, there is a tab for removing the staples. They are also equipped with a mechanical amplifier. Best material for the stapler - plastic coated metal. To prevent the device from scratching the surface of the table, plastic or rubber pads are put on its bottom.
The construction stapler is used for upholstering furniture and walls. It has a high rate of fire and fires up to 60 blows per minute.
There are also stapler cartridges in some models of copiers and printers.
How do I load the stapler with staples?
Before filling the stapler, make sure that the staples you choose fit the stapler. Manufacturers indicate their size on the packaging of the device. For convenience, they are marked with numbers. How do I charge the stapler? Most models open from the top. In some cases, the side fasteners need to be pushed back before opening. Other staplers open at the push of a button. The opening method is indicated in the user manual.
How do I load the stapler with staples? They are placed in the compartment so that their ends fall into the slots. You can use tweezers to refill the mini stapler. Then the stapler is closed. In this case, a characteristic click should be heard. The stapler is checked by stapling a stack of sheets of paper together. If the staples bend and get stuck inside, you need to open the stapler and align the rows.
How do I charge the stapler? First you need to make sure the stapler is locked. Then you need to find the button that opens the tray. It is usually located on the back of the device. How do I charge the stapler? The staple holder is removed from the device. The remaining staples are discarded. The stapler is cleaned of dust and debris. Then it is turned over and the staples are inserted upside down.
