2. Turn one of the knobs (10) anticlockwise and
move the trigger (9) to the desired position.
3. Let go the knob. The trigger is now set.
4. The trigger first touched by the stapling goods
will activate.
5. When several units are connected the triggers
on the "slave" units can be used as supports
for the stapling goods (they will not activate)
and are adjusted as shown.
6. Lower the sight-shield.
7. Start stapling by pushing the stapling goods
against the trigger (9).

ADJUSTMENT OF STAPLING IMPACT
1. Choose stapling or nailing by pushing the anvil
(8) forwards or backwards respectively. (Only
Rapid 105).
2. Turn main switch (1) to position 1. The pilot
light in the button comes on.
3. Do a trial stapling by pushing the stapling
goods towards the trigger (9).
4. Examine the result. If the impact force is too
weak, the staples will be insufficiently folded -
turn the impact control (2) to a higher figure.
Too high an impact force will make unnecessa-
ry noise and increase wear. Correct adjustment
will give efficient stapling and minimum noise.
5. Never staple without stapling goods - staples
will get stuck in the outlet.
6. Never staple over previous staples - the staple
could jam in the outlet.
CAUTION! KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM THE
STAPLING AREA.

USING A FOOT CONTROL (14)
1. Turn the main switch off (1) or lift the sightshi-
eld (3).
2. Plug the foot control into the socket (12) on the
back of the unit.
3. The triggers (9) can now be used as paper gau-
ges for the stapling goods. When the foot con-
trol is plugged in, they will not activate. Adjust
to the desired stapling depth as described.
4. Lower the sight-shield. Turn the main switch
on.
5. Operate the foot control (14).
CONNECTION OF SEVERAL UNITS
7
("SLAVE" UNITS)
1. Turn the main switches off (1) or lift the sights-
hields (3).
2. Place the units as required.
3. Plug all the units into the mains.
4. Decide which unit is to be the head unit (= will
activate stapling). Push down the flap (11) and
connect the opto cable (extra accessory) to the
main unit's upper socket. This is marked with
an arrow pointing away from the socket (= out-
going signal).
5. Connect the cable's other plug to the adjoining
"slave" unit's lower socket after the flap (11) is
pushed down. The socket is marked with an
arrow pointing inwards (= in-going signal).
Neither the trigger nor the foot control on the
"slave" stapler will activate stapling.
6. The next "slave" unit is connected from the
previous unit's upper socket (11) with an opto
cable, to its lower socket (11) and so on.
7. When the head unit is operated by the trigger
or foot control, stapling will occur first at the
head unit and then, with a brief interval, at the
"slave" units in the order in which they are con-
nected. (This is to avoid overloading of the
power supply).
8. The "slave" units' triggers can now act as gau-
ges for the stapling goods.
RAPID 105-MOUNTING ON A
8
WORK SURFACE
1. Remove the base (20) from the machine and
the spring plate (22) from the base.
2. Turn the spring plate a half-turn so that the end
with the hole (24) comes out in front of the unit.
Screw the spring plate flatly against the under-
side of the unit using the four screws.
Attention! The screws are selftapping.
3. Fix a screw to the work surface so that the run-
ner (23) of the spring plate can be pushed in
under the screw head. Fix the unit by a screw
in the front hole (24) of the spring plate.

RAPID 106-USING THE TABLE
1. Place the unit in position and secure it firmly
(21). The current should be off.
2. After loosening the fixing knob (15) choose the
flat- or saddle-stapling position on the table
(16). When the table is re-set the triggers (9)
must be pushed back to their innermost posi-
tion. Check that the table is correctly placed on
the anvil (8) and in the catch-plate (19).
3. The table (16) has 4 paper gauges which can
be adjusted sideways. The two gauges (18) on
the front edge are moved by pressing the lower
part. When not in use the gauges can be
moved out of the way by pushing them to the
outer edge and turning. The two paper gauges
(17) on the short sides of the table can be
moved sideways if first turned.
