The Rapid 106 electric stapler (model 106E) is a heavy duty desktop stapler that does two jobs: flat stapling for stacks up to 50 sheets and saddle stapling for booklets. It is made in Sweden and runs from a foot pedal, so both hands stay free to line up the paper.

What This Electric Saddle Stapler Is Used For
Print shops, schools, churches and in-house copy centers use the 106E to finish booklets, newsletters, programs and manuals. As an electric saddle stitch stapler, it drives staples through the fold of a booklet so the pages open flat. Switch to the flat insert and it handles reports, packets and mailers up to 50 sheets.
Choosing the Right Staples
The 106E takes Rapid 66 staples with 6 mm to 8 mm legs. Use the shorter leg for thin sets and the longer leg for thicker ones. Review our Rapid 90007 1/4 inch staples (66/6), Rapid 66/7 staples and Rapid 90003 5/16 inch staples (66/8), and add a box or two to your order so you don't run out in the middle of a job.
How to Set Up and Use the Rapid 106E
- Set the stapler on a sturdy table and plug it in.
- Choose the insert head for the job: flat for stacks, saddle for booklets.
- Load Rapid 66 staples through the front of the machine.
- Set the stapling depth so staples land where you want them.
- Adjust the force for the thickness of your set and test on a few scrap sheets.
- Line up the paper, lower the safety visor and press the foot pedal.
Care, Maintenance and Clearing a Jam
Unplug the stapler before you clear a jam or change heads. Take out the staple strip, remove any bent staples and reload with fresh staples in the right leg length. Jams often come from staples that are too short or too long for the set, so check the size if jams keep coming back. Keep paper dust off the work table and out of the head, and review the setup steps above after you swap inserts.
Rapid 106 Stapler vs a Manual Booklet Stapler
A manual long-reach stapler is fine for a few booklets a week. If you finish booklets every day, the Rapid 106 stapler saves time and effort: the motor does the work, the foot pedal keeps both hands on the paper, and every staple goes in with the same force. For bigger runs, you can link two or more units with opto cables. Add an extra box of staples if you run long jobs so the machine never sits idle.
