The top and bottom pieces are held in place by plastic press fit clips near the corners. These can be carefully pried off to expose the four screws that holds the two main halves of the main body together. Two along the top and two along the bottom edges.

The Optima stapler does top does not remove. To reach the inside of this stapler you have to "pull it in half". Do so at your own risk!

Swingline Optima 45 Stapler - cannot slide tray back in stapler, no staples jamming

Sometimes the rectangular insert where the staples sit on, gets dislodged. On the underside of channel insert is a spring and when correctly seated is in between the tabs of the bottom piece. If the insert isn't in between the tabs, it sits too high and makes it difficult to open and close the staple tray. The staples will jam.

Staples will not come out of the stapler.

Did you use Optima brand staples? If not, the stapler will not work correctly. You must use their brand of staples or it will continue jamming, and giving you problems. The staples typically found right next to the Optima staplers in the office supply stores. They come in a rectangular metal box and are labeled Optima staples.

No staples coming out of machines

The Optima line of staplers do not work without jamming continuously unless you use the Optima brand staples. They can be found in the store next to the Optima staplers in a rectangular silver box, and will solve you problem instantly. There is no other brand of staple that will work in this line (I tried numerous), but once you purchase the Optima staples, problem solved, and you'll love it!

How do I remove a jammed staple?

All you need is to use a thin sharp wire rod to push the damaged/cramped pin out of the hammer. You can achieve this only if you can have such a tool , remove the lid to get access, manually turn aside to relieve the presssure on the damaged pin, remove the cartidge and replace after the pin is removed. You can also slightly tap to get the pin released from the jammed position.
