to close the staple , with the ends going away from each other rather than together :::easier to detach pages if done this way

It is a special attachment introduced in the 1960's.
It was because all office staff deep down resent thier boss and so can arrange for the staple to splay outwards instead of inwards.
hand the report in.....listen for the scream
I managed to staple right into my thumb during a phone interview once. It went right in, clean flush with the skin, I was in agony.....got the job though, nearly fainted afterwards !

The second setting is for a longer tang staple for larger volume files so that you can staple all the way through say 1/4 inch worth of pages.
Check the track inside and you will see that the "normal" staple is smaller than the track and this allows for the "wider" longer tang staple use

Not all of them rotate. Some slide forward and backward. -And for people who think nobody uses them, you can get staplers that don't have that feature. Believe it or not, there ARE people who use it. Otherwise, the manufacturers wouldn't waste time and materials making them that way. It's human nature to assume that since "I" don't use something, "nobody" does.

Well I'll be damned, I'm retired and I got through my entire work life without knowing that thing did anything at all. Come to think of it I must have a pretty boring retirement if I'm doing this. Bye,and thanks for pointing that out. Now I'm gonna do something real! PeeTee

I think the question was more why does it bend the pins out, not what does it do. Saddle staplers have an inverted "V" shaped saddle for stapling pre-fold sheets to make booklets

Ouch...I just nicked my finger.
Never even noticed this on a stapler before, I will sleep all the better for finding this out. Thank you.

Its so you can detach the paper from each other easier after.
i.e I always use mine for when sending cheques so that the recipient can separate the cheque and remittance slip easier
