OPERATION
Set-up
1. Before you begin binding you need to attach the handle to the machine. Unscrew the gray handle knob on the right side of the
machine by turning the knob to the left. Place the handle onto the metal square and insert the knob into the handle. Turn the knob
to the right to tighten and hold handle in place.
2. Make sure the machine is on a flat, sturdy surface.
3. Check to make sure the paper waste tray is empty and correctly fitted.
4. Move the adjustable paper edge guide to the size of paper you wish to punch.
5. Turn the margin depth knob to set the size of the margin on the paper. The size of the margin can be seen on the margin depth
ruler. It goes from 1/10”-1/4” / 2mm-6mm.
6. If using a sheet of paper larger than letter size (8 ½” x 11”), pull out the hole punch selectors to create the correct number of
holes.
7. Select the right-sized comb and covers for your documents. For the appropriate comb sizes, refer to the chart of the binding
machine.
NOTE: Test pieces of scrap paper to make sure everything is aligned properly before punching your finished document.
Punching and Binding
1. Slide the front and back covers into the paper entry lengthwise. Pull the handle down to punch.
2. Punch the remaining sheets in small batches that do not overload the machine. This machine can punch 12 sheets of
20lb./80gsm paper at one time.
3. Place the binding comb in between the comb pins with the open side facing up. Slowly push back the handle to have
the comb pullers open up the combs wide enough to insert the punched sheets. This machine binds up to 150 sheets
using a ¾” comb.
4. Insert the punched sheets onto the open binding comb. For the best results, insert the front cover face down first,
then insert the rest of the sheets and back cover.
5. When all of the sheets are loaded onto the comb, pull the handle back to its original position. Remove the bound
document by lifting it up.

Editing a Bound Document
Sheets may be added or removed at any time by placing the bound document into to comb pins and using the handle to
open the binding comb as described above.
Emptying the Waste Tray
The waste tray located on the front of the binding machine can be easily pulled out for emptying. Always check that the
tray is correctly fitted before punching.

Symptom Solution
Punched holes are not centered. Adjust the edge guide and use scrap paper to test if the holes are centered.
Machine will not punch. Check that the paper waste tray is empty and correctly fitted. Check for
blockage in the paper entry
Punched holes are not parallel to the edge. Take a stiff object and slide it sideways through the paper entry to release any
paper clippings into the paper waste tray.
Holes are partially punched. Ensure that the punching capacity is not exceeded. Adjust edge guide and use
scrap paper to test if holes are properly punched.
Hole edges are damaged. Reduce the number of sheets being punched.
Waste tray is leaking. Check that the paper waste tray is empty and correctly fitted.
