I cannot figure out how to load an Arrow T50P staple gun

Morning Vivian,

Have a look at this link to Arrow's website. It may be that they don't fit as I can't cross reference them?

I just bought a T50 elite, and it will NOT staple too.
Simple 3/8" staples loaded and nothing comes out.

remove the staples and check inside for a jammed one up there. squirt some oil in there. load it again and try. please follow the instructions to a tee. having the wrong staples or what ever can damage the unit, if it isn't already. good luck

BAD spring it where you load the staple in the back..

1. • 1 Push in the push rod plate on the back of the Arrow T50P and press down to unclip the push rod from the gun. Pull the push rod out of the staple channel and away from the staple gun.
     
   • 2 Insert a strip of staples into the channel with the tips of the staples pointing toward the bottom of the staple gun.
     
   • 3 Place the end of the push rod into the staple channel of the gun. The end of the push rod has a small, solid piece of metal that fits into the staple channel.
     
   • 4 Press the rod all the way into the staple gun until the rod plate engages in the notch at the rear of the gun.
     

Hi, Dayne here
Well, it might sound too easy, but did you check for jambed staples. I also lightly oil all mine. Sometimes the actual plunger that drives the staple will break internally.
Thanks

The T50P stapler uses T50 staples of various lengths, including 3/8, 7/16, and 1/2. Is it possible that the 1/2 inch staples you are trying to use are not T50? All T50 staples are the same width and should fit your stapler. There are several other widths of staples that are not T50, although T50 is the most common.

You need to load just enough staples in it that when you put retaining spring and clip back in that it will let catch on back of spring to go into slot in frame. I hope this helps. Thank you

I was having the problems everyone listed... with the staples loading & firing... I guess the instructions are lousy .. should be ON THE PACKAGE to make it clear.. but.. on the stapler itself on the bottom.. it explains how to correctly load.. you don't put the staples on the piece that slides out.. you slide it out, load the staples in the open tunnel ..then slide the piece back.. that piece is the spring loader... since i finally figured it out ( by coincidence that I turned it over & noticed some faint words printed) - it works PERFECT every time! great little stapler... please fix your directions... seems to be a common misunderstanding!!!

Buu a different brand or model this one is junk and should be taken off the shelf
