SET UP

Ensure the machine is on a stable surface.

Check waste tray is empty and correctly fitted.

Lift the lid. Ensure the combopening lever is pushed backwards.

Lift the punch handle to its upright position.

BEFORE YOU BIND

Select the correct comb diameter using the comb storage tray.

Insert the plastic comb into the mechanism.

Pull comb-opening lever forward to open the comb.

Test punch scrap sheets to check edge guide setting.

STEPS TO BIND

Ensure edge guide is set to the proper document size. Punch front and back covers first.

Punch sheets in small batches that do not overload the machine or the user. Adjust edge guide, if necessary.

Load punched sheets directly onto the opened comb. Starting with the front of the document.

When all punched sheets are loaded onto the comb, push the comb lever backwards to close the comb and remove the bound document.

CORRECTING A BOUND DOCUMENT

Additional sheets may be included or removed at any time by opening and then closing the comb as previously described.

REMOVAL OF WASTE CLIPPINGS

The waste tray is located under the machine and is accessed from the right side. For best results empty the tray regularly.

STORAGE

Lower the punch handle to the horizontal position. Lower the lid.

TROUBLESHOOTING
