How do I open the compartment to change the 16 gauge staples on the DEWALT DW451S2 stapler?

Question

Accepted Answer

Your DEWALT DW451S2 is a pneumatic stapler for lathing. To access the staple compartment (called the magazine) and replace your 16 gauge staples, start by disconnecting the tool from the compressed air supply. Also, make sure that the contact trigger and the release are not activated.

The procedure to open the compartment is simple: move the pusher backward (located at the back of the stapler) until it locks. The magazine cover will automatically open, and the pusher will be held in place by the pusher trigger. At this point, you have access to the magazine containing the staples.

To load the new 16 gauge staples, place them on the magazine (the receiving part for the staples) and slide them forward. The DW451S2 accepts staples from 25.4 to 50.8 mm (1" to 2") in length and can hold up to 140 staples. Continue inserting staples until the magazine is completely filled.

Once loading is complete, it is crucial to properly close the compartment. Pull the pusher slightly backward and press on the notches of the rod (the intended notches). Then let the pusher slide forward until it clicks into place. This maneuver locks the compartment and returns the pusher to the working position.

Important: use only 16 gauge wide crown staples of 25.4 mm (1") to ensure compatibility and safety of your tool. Never load staples when the trigger or release is activated.
