Got several t-18 wire staplers. Both misfeed. When I press the spring holder in the back of the frame inward, it works for that cycle. Any advice?

There are two basic designs of staplers. The most common type is the Swingline or Stanley Bowstitch types. At the business end of the stapler there is a small catch that you need to pull rearward and the front staple head will drop down. Inside, you will see a metal bar and a spring. Pull the spring back towards the rear of the stapler and insert a full clip of staples appropriate for your stapler. Release the spring slowly so the metal tab pushes against the staples... should be pointed tips down. Put the stapler on a firm surface and press it as you would when stapling something. The two parts of the stapler head will join back together again.

Good morning Victoria,

The staple series that you'll need is probably need is a 90 series. These are again an 18gauge wire in several different lengths.

Rexel Odyssey heavy duty stapler: The pring that pushes the staples into position can come losse if the stapler iss dropped. It's difficult to work out how to replace it! However, there are only two "lugs" that will take the circular ends of the spring. One obviously fits to the sliding staple retainer. The other to the back end of the pressed-metal inner body. However, to work, the spring must be threaded from this point along the pressed metal parallel-sided inner body back through a slot and over a rounded bent piece (shiny from prvious friction) and back down to the sliding staple retainer. It's trickey to do, but that's where it has to go in order to provide forward tension when the Stapler is closed.

You need to remove the black cap at the back of the stapler, then use a screwdriver to press down on a lever inside the stapler. The stapler holder will pop out at the front, then pull it further out and load with staples. May be an easier way, but this what worked for me.

BOSTITCH T31-1 stapler & T31-2 STAPLER and NAILER. Both use 18 gauge (very fine gauge wire). Try using 18 gauge Bostitch staples (used in BT model bostitch staplers). Good Luck

Located on the end opposite of where the staples come out, there is a spring loaded cap. Push it in toward the base of the stapler and slightly down to release the retaining hook. then let the spring release the pressure rod and pull it out. Connedted to the end of the rod you will see a plunger that is shaped like a short run of staples. Make a mental note of how and where this plunger slides into the base of the stapler. Place a run of staples into the stapler in the same manner that the plunger fits then replace the plunger into the same place following the run of staples. Compress the spring into the stapler and attach the hook as it was. Now you are ready to work.

NOTE: If you cannot compress the spring enough into the stapler you have inserted too many staples, just remove some of the run of staples and try again.

The case of the stapler is glued together. To open the case requires carefully sawing it along the seams. The paper switch is spring loaded but the spring is built into the switch. It is possible that something is jamming it.

Clean the sensors in this parts and try reset the SC codes:Enter in the SP mode press 5-810 (SC code reset)select 1.Then hold down the Photo mode key and the +key at the same time for at least 4 sec.

No official B&D diagram, but userLovenheim from http://www.fixya.com/ posted his/her own picture which I'm posting here:

Pull out the cup holder till it stops. On either side of the frame you will see two lines. Place a long screwdriver in between these two lines and when it stops press inward to depress the tray stop. Repeat for the other side
