I had a similar Bostich. I had to pull up before I could pull out. This did direct me in the right direction though.

If you want to know how to load the staples, lift the wee flap at the end with the inscription " lift to insert staples".....

SOURCE: how to remove staples from bostitch T5 model

Lift the hinged guard on the front of the stapler and while open use a pencil or similar object to depress the striker (above the staples). This will release the spring catch and the staples will move forward. Use caution and catch the staples as they come out under spring pressure.

You should not need any tools to lift the guard/nose piece. The T5 nose piece cleary has engraved on it "Pull Up To Insert Staples". To remove old staples, use a pencil or similar rod to depress the hammer/striker above the staples while the nose is open.
