Troubleshooting

Staple does not fire.

Ensure the staple magazine is fully loaded and correctly closed. Check that the staple type and leg length are compatible. Verify the tool is not jammed; clear any obstructions if necessary.

Staple jams or bends.

This usually indicates the wrong staple size or force setting. Ensure you are using Rapid No. 7 or No. 36 staples with the correct leg length (10-14 mm). Adjust the force setting to a higher level if the material is too hard for the current setting.

Staple does not penetrate deeply enough.

Increase the force setting using the 3-step adjuster. Ensure the staple magazine is properly loaded and the staples are correctly aligned.

Staple penetrates too deeply or damages the cable.

Decrease the force setting using the 3-step adjuster. Ensure you are using the correct staple size for the cable diameter and the material being fastened.

Trigger is difficult to squeeze.

Ensure the staple magazine is correctly seated and not overfilled. Check for any external obstructions around the trigger mechanism. Light lubrication of the moving parts (if accessible and appropriate) might help, but refer to the manual for specific guidance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Loading Staples:

  1. Open the staple magazine by pressing the release catch at the rear.
  2. Insert Rapid No. 7 or No. 36 staples with leg lengths between 10-14 mm into the magazine, ensuring they sit flat.
  3. Close the magazine firmly until it clicks.

Adjusting Force:

Use the 3-step adjuster located on the top of the stapler. Slide the adjuster to position '1' for softer materials or thinner cables, '2' for medium-density materials, and '3' for harder surfaces or thicker cables. Experiment with settings on scrap material to find the optimal force for your specific application.

Compatibility:

This stapler is compatible with Rapid No. 7 and No. 36 cable staples. For best results, Rapid recommends using their original staples.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Keep the tool clean and free from dust and debris.
  • Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Store the stapler in a dry place, engaging the safety lock when not in use.
  • Periodically check the staple magazine for any obstructions.
