Bought 6 years ago in Focus. Cannot remember how to add more staples. Magazine seems stuck

Bob Aldridge, February 2012

As said above, you have to push the stapler really really hard onto wood (or whatever you are stapling) before the trigger will depress.

Sherry, February 2023

You have to push the front of the stapler down very hard against whatever you're stapling - concentrate force at the very front or it won't fire.

Frenella, April 2022

There are two black metal wings sticking out - 5cm from where staples are emitted
Hold the two black wings between finger and thumb and pull back and then out - this will release the staple cartridge arm - insert your staples from the front pushing the spring mechanism back.
Pull back two wings and re-insert.
Pressure needs to be applied to baseplate for machine to fire.
