A stapling apparatus with a safety device for a stapler prevents staples from popping out of the stapler when a user wants to remove jammed or lodged staples. The stapling apparatus is pivotally attached to a stapler and has a housing with a front, a sliding front cover slidably mounted on the front of the housing so lodged staples can be conveniently removes and a safety device. The safety device includes a positive stop formed on the housing and a stop lip formed on the sliding front cover corresponding to the positive stop. When the user pushes the sliding front cover upward to remover lodged staples, the stop lip abuts the positive stop to limit movement of the sliding front cover. Therefore, the staples can be seen but are still held in the housing by the sliding front cover.
