TROUBLE SHOOTING
Staples not bent sufficiently
If the staple is insufficient bent or is folded over the object to be stapled, the following faults
can have arisen:
– Stapling object too thick. At least 3 mm of the staple legs must penetrate through the
object to ensure satisfactory results.
– Stapling object is too hard.
– Always use the correct original Rapid staple cassette.
– Loose staple in the mechanism. Send the machine for service.
Stapling movement is triggered but the machine does not staple
– The cassette is empty. The warning light shows red. Replace the cassette according to
the instructions.
– A staple has stuck in the mechanism. Replace the cassette or remove carefully the
defect staple. In the last case, cut the staple tape with a sharp knife or similar.
Remove the cut staples and feed the staple band forward.
– Always use the correct original Rapid staple cassette with the correct marking.
– The cassette is damaged or worn. Replace the cassette according to the instructions.
Stapling movement not triggered
– no power supply.
Check that the adapter is connected to the machine and to the electrical supply.
Check that the on-off warning light shows steady green.
Check that there is voltage at the electric socket (a fuse may have blown).
– Check that the trigger springs back again when stapling.
– The machine is damaged. Send it away for service.
– The warning light is flashing, green or red. Send the machine away for service.
Measures at interrupted stapling cycle
A stapling cycle can be interrupted due to different reasons, e.g. powerfailure or a plug has
been removed. An interrupted stapling cycle is measured as follows:
1. Check that the machine is connected to the power supply. E.g. reconnect the plug if it
has been removed.
2. Remove the visor by pressing its knob and pull it outwards.
3. Remove the cassette.
4. Remove the object to be stapled.
5. Mount a new cassette.
note! The defect cassette can be repaired by service personnel.
