GETTING STARTED

Unpack the machine. Keep the packaging to use

if you need to return the machine for repair.

First, with some scrap sheets, determine the best

punching pattern. Align a sheet to the punched

hole pattern of 21 slots.

Rotate the edge guide (a) to the required position

(A4 or US).  Test punch the scrap sheet and

readjust the edge guide if necessary.  

Collate the papers in order.  We suggest you start

punching the front of the document.  Ensure the

edge of the document is flush before punching.

Insert the sheets (max. 5 sheets of 80 gsm per

punch operation) into the punching channel (b)

ensuring the sheets are aligned to the edge guide

and touch the back of the channel.

Support the machine and punch the paper by

pressing the lever (c) downwards.

Repeat the punching operation until the entire

document is punched.

When punching plastic covers we recommend the

cover is punched with paper on each side.

Select the appropriate plastic comb to suit the

document size.

For example, a document of 50 sheets including

covers would require a 9.5mm diameter plastic

comb binding.

Insert the comb binding with the open side

forwards into the binding channel (d) Rotate the

comb opening knob (e) as indicated until the

plastic comb is sufficiently open to receive

punched the sheets.

With the comb binding open, hold the punched

sheets vertically, then  rotate the sheets forward

onto the open binding fingers. For best results,

load the front of the document first. Continue

loading the punched sheets until the document is

complete.

Rotate the comb opening knob to close the

plastic comb. When the comb fingers have

returned to the start position, the bound

document can then be removed from the

machine.

Additional sheets may be included or removed at

any time by opening and then closing the comb

binding as described in section 4-6

The clipping tray (f) is fixed to the underside of

the machine.

For best results, empty the tray regularly.

Always check the tray is correctly fitted before

punching the document.
