How to load a craftsman staple gun?
A high-quality staple gun should have a knob to adjust the tension in the gun's spring.
A high-quality staple gun should have a knob to adjust the tension in the gun's spring.
The answer is quite easy. At the back of the tool, there's a little sprung-loaded bracket. You push it in and down, and out comes the staple chute. You then insert your staple in to the end, insert the cover, and reinsert the sprung plate.

A: There is a little switch underneath the handle that controls how deep the staple goes into the wood. The symbols (+/-) are labels for these different settings. One of them is supposed to shoot the staple farther into the wood than the other setting.
That mysterious alternate setting on a mechanical stapler is a holdover from the straight-pin days. In fact, in the insider lingo of the desk-stapler professional, you're stapling papers if you use the common setting, but you're pinning them if you use the temporary setting.

What staples do I need for my staple gun?
The most popular staple for office staplers is the 26/6. A standard 6mm staple. Most manufacturers produce a 26/6 staple and as long as your stapler says it uses 26/6 staples, you can usually use any brand version.
Air Compressors
You do need one that will provide your stapler with 70-100 PSI. That's the amount of pressure your gun needs to operate effectively, i.e., push those staples into the wood! My first air compressor was a 6 gallon pancake compressor that cost under $100.
Clear Jams
Jams are the most common cause of a nailer not firing. Thankfully, they are often easy to clear. For safety, first disconnect the tool from the air supply, retract the feeder mechanism, and remove any excess fasteners from the magazine. From there, clearing the jam depends on what type of nailer you have.
The other setting, the one that splays the staple points outward, is for temporarily attaching papers that are intended to be separated again. The attachment is looser, and it's easier to remove the staple without chewing up the corners of the pages.
