FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Germ-Savvy® protection?

The Germ-Savvy® protection is built into the handle to actively safeguard against bacteria, making it a more hygienic choice, especially in shared environments like offices or schools.

What is the maximum number of sheets I can punch at once?

The Rapesco 827-P can punch up to 30 sheets of standard 80 gsm paper at a time.

How do I store the hole punch when not in use?

The punch features a handle lock-down switch. Engage this switch to keep the handle secured in a closed position for compact and easy storage.

What size are the punched holes?

The punch creates two holes, each with a diameter of 6mm.

How do I empty the confetti tray?

The confetti tray has a convenient opening flap. Simply open the flap to easily slide out the collected paper scraps.

Does this hole punch come with a warranty?

Yes, the Rapesco 827-P 2-hole punch comes with a 15-year guarantee.

Can I punch cardstock with this hole punch?

While it's designed for paper, it may punch lighter cardstock. For best results and to avoid damage, it is recommended to test with a small number of sheets or stick to standard paper types.

Troubleshooting

Holes are not punched cleanly or are incomplete.

Check the sheet capacity; do not exceed 30 sheets of 80 gsm paper. Ensure the paper is fed straight and not at an angle. The cutting mechanism may require lubrication or cleaning if debris is present.

Punch feels stiff or difficult to operate.

Empty the confetti tray, as an overfilled tray can impede operation. The internal mechanism might need cleaning or a small amount of lubrication. Ensure the handle lock is fully disengaged.

The punch slips on the desk during use.

Ensure the full rubber base is clean and free from dust or moisture. Position the punch on a flat, stable surface.

Confetti is not being collected in the tray.

Verify that the confetti tray is properly seated and that the opening flap is functioning correctly. Ensure the tray is not overfilled and is emptied regularly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with all-metal working parts for longevity.
  • Built-in antibacterial protection enhances hygiene in shared spaces.
  • High sheet capacity (30 sheets) suitable for demanding tasks.
  • Stable base and handle lock for practical usability and storage.
  • Includes a convenient confetti tray with an easy-open flap.

Cons

  • Fixed 6mm hole diameter may not suit all paper-punching needs.
  • ABS housing, while durable, is less premium than fully metal designs.
  • Requires manual emptying of the confetti tray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Rapesco 827-P 2-hole punch requires no assembly. Simply remove it from its packaging. Ensure the handle lock is disengaged before first use. Adjust the paper guide to align your documents for precise hole placement.

Compatibility: This punch creates two standard 6mm diameter holes, spaced according to typical document requirements for ring binders. It is designed for standard paper types up to 80 gsm. For thicker cardstock or specialty papers, it is recommended to test with a smaller sheet count to avoid strain on the mechanism.

Care: To maintain performance and hygiene:

  1. Empty Confetti Tray Regularly: Use the convenient flap to dispose of punched paper scraps. Do not overfill.
  2. Clean Exterior: Wipe the ABS housing and metal parts with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  3. Lubrication (Occasional): For exceptionally smooth operation, a drop of light machine oil can be applied to the cutting mechanism's moving parts (ensure it's wiped clean afterward).
  4. Storage: Utilize the handle lock-down switch to keep the punch compact and safe when not in use.
