FAQs

What type of staples does the Rapesco RPWHALE use?

It uses Rapesco type 26/6-8mm and 24/6-8mm staples. For optimal results, 6mm staples are recommended for up to 20 sheets, and 8mm staples for up to 45-50 sheets.

What is the maximum number of sheets this stapler can handle?

The Rapesco RPWHALE can staple up to 50 sheets of 80gsm paper, provided you use 8mm staples.

What is the difference between stapling and pinning mode?

Stapling mode permanently fastens sheets together. Pinning mode provides a temporary fastening, useful for holding documents together briefly or for display purposes.

How do I load staples into the stapler?

Press the front button to open the staple magazine, load a strip of staples, and slide the magazine back in until it locks.

Is this stapler suitable for heavy-duty use?

Yes, its all-metal construction makes it durable and suitable for regular use in busy environments like mailrooms or offices.

Can I use any brand of staples?

While it may accept other brands, Rapesco strongly recommends using their own staples to ensure optimal performance and prevent jamming.

What is the throat depth?

The paper insertion depth, or throat depth, is up to 58mm.

Troubleshooting

Stapler not stapling

Check if staples are loaded correctly and if the magazine is fully inserted. Ensure you are not exceeding the sheet capacity. Verify the anvil is in 'STAPLE' mode.

Staples jamming

Use only recommended Rapesco staples (26/6 or 24/6). Ensure you are using the correct staple length for the number of sheets (6mm for up to 20, 8mm for up to 45/50). Remove any bent staples from the magazine and clear debris.

Poor staple penetration

Confirm you are using 8mm staples for thicker stacks (over 20 sheets). Check that the anvil is correctly aligned for stapling and not in pinning mode. Ensure the stapler is clean and free of obstructions.

Anvil not rotating correctly

Gently rotate the anvil. If it feels stuck, check for any foreign objects or bent staples obstructing its movement. Ensure it is firmly seated before rotating.
