Troubleshooting
Stapler fails to staple through paper.
Ensure you are using the correct Rapid No. 9 staples and that they are fully loaded. Check that the paper stack does not exceed 110 sheets (80gsm). Verify the stapling depth is set appropriately and not too shallow.
Staples jam frequently.
Check that the staples are loaded correctly and aligned in the channel. Ensure you are not attempting to staple too many sheets. Use the maintenance rod to clear any obstructions. Try a different staple length if the current one seems incorrect for the paper thickness.
Staple is not fully formed or bent.
This usually indicates the staple is too short for the number of sheets. Use a longer Rapid No. 9 staple (e.g., 12mm or 14mm for thicker stacks). Ensure the staple magazine is clean.
Top arm feels loose.
Ensure the top arm is fully closed and latched. For heavy-duty use, some minor flex is normal, but if it feels excessively loose, inspect the hinge mechanism for damage or wear.
