You can price parts and decide if it is worth it, is the gun old, used much etc. If you don't use it much HF sells inexpensive ones. If you use it more often buy a better name brand at HD, Amazon E bay.
I have a combo nailer/stapler and i only use it for staples. The combo will put a bite mark on your wood. I use a nailer that doesn't leave marks so cleanup before finishing is much easier.
Look at the rear of the stapler. Push in then down on the stapler tensioner to release it from the rear of the gun. Slide the tensioner out. Next slide the new staples over the rail and into the gun with points down. Slide the spring tensioner back in and connect it to the stapler by maneuvering its clip down and then up.
The staples should load in through the end of the hammer stapler. The end is spring loaded to push the staples forward, so push the end - usually a crome square - into the handle end then move that part up approximately 1/4 inch and pull back. The spring mechanism should slide out so you can add new staples. These staplers take a specific size of staple and a certain number to allow you to put the spring mechanism back into the stapler. If you do not know the correct size for your stapler someone at your local hardware store can help you find the correct size and they will probably even show you how to load it. Good luck!
I have the same problem and have found no answers from Stanley Bostitch customer service. They redirect to a telephone number that does not answer. Solution: Don't buy Stanley Bostitch.
First turn the staple gun upside down, like you were going to staple the ceiling. Then grip the 2 black circles and pull out (slightly up helps). Then place the staples upside down in the groove you just uncovered (in the stapler, not the part you pulled out), push that part back in, and you're done!
