Product Information

Full details

The Rapesco ECO X5-90ps is a heavy-duty stapler designed for offices that frequently handle large document stacks. Its key benefit is significantly reduced stapling effort, requiring up to 60% less force to staple up to 90 sheets of 80gsm paper. A potential consideration is its size and weight, which might be more substantial than lighter-duty models.

FAQs

What type of staples does this stapler use?

The Rapesco ECO X5-90ps uses Rapesco 923/8-12mm staples for its heavy-duty capacity. It can also accommodate Rapesco 24/6mm Extra Strong Staples for lighter loads (up to 20 sheets).

How many sheets can it staple?

It can staple up to 90 sheets of 80gsm paper.

Does it require a lot of force to staple?

No, it is designed to require up to 60% less stapling force compared to conventional staplers, thanks to its power-assisted mechanism.

Is this stapler made from recycled materials?

Yes, the ECO X5-90ps version is manufactured using a high level of recycled plastic.

What is the warranty period?

The stapler comes with a 15-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

How do I refill the staples?

Lift the top arm of the stapler, slide out the staple magazine, insert a new strip of staples, and slide the magazine back in until it clicks.

Can I adjust the depth of the staple from the edge of the paper?

Yes, it features an adjustable margin guide that allows you to set the staple position from the edge of the paper.

Troubleshooting

Stapler jams frequently

Ensure you are using the correct size Rapesco staples for the number of sheets. Check for any bent staples in the magazine or obstructions in the stapling channel. Use the paper guide to help clear jams.

Staples do not go through all the sheets

Verify the number of sheets does not exceed the 90-sheet capacity (for 80gsm paper). Ensure the correct staple size (923/8-12mm) is loaded. Check if the staple magazine is fully inserted.

Stapling feels stiff despite being power assisted

Check that the staple magazine is loaded correctly and that there are no obstructions. Ensure the stapler is on a flat, stable surface for optimal leverage.

Staples are not formed correctly (e.g., bent)

This often indicates the wrong staple size for the paper thickness or a worn-out staple strip. Try a fresh strip of the recommended Rapesco staples.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The stapler is ready for use out of the box. To load staples, lift the top arm, slide out the staple magazine, insert a strip of Rapesco 923/8-12mm staples (or 24/6mm for lighter loads), and slide the magazine back in. Ensure the staples are correctly seated. Adjust the paper guide by sliding it to the desired margin.

Compatibility: This stapler is designed to use Rapesco 923/8-12mm staples for its maximum capacity. For stapling up to 20 sheets, Rapesco 24/6mm Extra Strong Staples can also be used. It is compatible with standard 80gsm paper.

Care: Keep the stapler clean by wiping the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Periodically, check the staple magazine and mechanism for any paper debris or obstructions. If a jam occurs, use the paper guide mechanism to clear it, or gently remove the jammed staple.
