MAINTENANCE
Checking safety functions
One of the safety checks that should be done every day before the machine
is used is to check on the visor’s safety function.
Check the visor’s safety switch as follows:
1 Switch on the machine.
2 Lift up the visor.
3 Test whether or not the machine will staple a piece of paper with the visor
up.
If the machine operates with the visor in the upper position it must be
switched off immediately and sent for repair.
Cleaning
The machine should be cleaned when required as follows:
1 Switch off the machine and pull out the plug from the electric socket
before cleaning.
2 Clean the machine as required by blowing away dust and paper
remnants.
3 If the machine is heavily soiled it should be cleaned with a moist rag.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Some suggestions for the causes of operational interruptions.
Staples not bent sufficiently
- Stapling force insufficient. Increase the force with the adjusting wheel (P)
at the back.
- Stapling object too thick. At least 3 mm of the staple legs must penetrate
through the object to ensure satisfactory results.
- Stapling object is too hard.
- Wrong type of staple. Check that the type of staple in use corresponds to
the type stated on the magazine. Always use original Rapid staples.
- The machine is worn. Send it away for service.
Stapling movement is triggered but the machine does not staple
- Magazine empty. Check and fill the magazine with staples as described
in this manual.
- A staple has stuck in the discharger. Switch off the machine and carefully
remove the staple that is stuck using another staple. Avoid using tools
because they can easily damage the machine.
- Wrong type of staple. Check that the type of staple in use corresponds to
the type stated on the magazine. Always use original Rapid staples.
- Magazine damaged or worn. Replace the insert stapler as described in
this manual or send the machine away for service.
