Question

Help answer this question below.

How do I load a Swingline Smart Touch stapler?

It does not load in the typical way. It is one of these ergonomic reduced-effort staplers, and there is no obvious way to put staples inside it. This is driving me CRAZY. HELP.

    Asker's Pick

    Selected by the asker, lizvelrene. (What's this?)

    There should be a little thing on the "spine" of the stapler (the opposite end of the stapling mechanism) that you can pull open (there may or may not be a tiny black button to press) and then you can pull a long rod out, put a load of staples in the opening where the rod came out and then put the rod back in, making sure it's closed up tight again.

    OR it may be on the bottom of the stapler...I can't find a manual for the light touch stapler but it's a starting point:

    • AHA. It was a combination of what you suggested and what Grandma Roses said - Push on the back piece *and* pull on the spine of the stapler.

      THANKYOU!!!!

    • Good going!! Coz otherwise Grandma and I were going to have to come and see the stapler in person and fiddle around with it some. :)

    • Had the same question. At the end of the stapler is a purple button with an indentation and etched staples image that when you push down on that button the stapler drawer pops open. But - I pulled on all aspects of this stapler for about 10 minutes trying to figure it out. Could they maybe put 3 words on the packaging - push purple button!!!
