What are the dimensions of the stapler?

Is this stapler suitable for heavy-duty use?

Troubleshooting
Stapler jams frequently
Ensure you are using the correct Rapid 24/6 or 26/6mm staples. Check for any bent or misaligned staples in the magazine and clear them. Ensure the staple magazine is properly closed and the stapler is clean.
Staples do not go through all sheets
Verify that the number of sheets does not exceed the 25-sheet capacity. If stapling near the edge of the paper, ensure it's within the 50mm insertion depth.
Staples do not clinch properly
Check the adjustable anvil. If set to 'stapling', ensure it is properly aligned. If using 'pinning' or 'tacking' mode, ensure the anvil is set to the correct position for these functions.
Stapler feels stiff or difficult to operate
Clean the internal mechanism gently and ensure no foreign objects are obstructing movement. Check that staples are loaded correctly.
