basis. This will prevent blockage and ensure that the unit is
always ready to punch. The clippings tray can be accessed
from the back of the machine.

the maximum number of sheets recommended (20 sheets of
80gsm).The unit is maintenance free if handled correctly.

How to bind
Measure document using colour coded guide (fig.1)
1
Select comb which fits your document (fig.2)
2
Use the table to choose a suitable comb size. Please note
that this guide is based on 80gsm paper. The sheet capacity
of combs will vary depending on the type and thickness of
the cover sheets you have chosen. If in doubt select the
next comb up in capacity.
Load comb onto machine (fig.3)
3
Insert the binding comb next to the white positional arrow
on the machine, behind the metal comb support fingers,
with the open side of the comb pointing upwards.
Note: If using GBC
ProCombs™ the white arrow on your
®
comb should align to the white arrow on the machine.
Open comb by turning lever towards you (fig.4)
4
The coloured arrows adjacent to the opening comb act as
a guide as to how far to open in order to allow punched
sheets to be easily inserted.
Note: If using GBC
ProCombs™ the coloured line on your
®
comb should align to the coloured arrows on the machine
for faster binding.
Select document size (fig.5)
5
Rotate the edge guide to the paper / cover size you wish to
bind; A4 (297mm x 210mm) or Letter (215mm x 279mm).
When using oversized covers, rotate the edge guide to the
oversize position, punch the covers for your document and
set aside. Then rotate the edge guide to select either A4 or
Letter and proceed.
Load pages into slot (fig.6)

You can punch 2 cover sheets (0.2mm) or up to 20 sheets
of paper (80gsm) at a time. Select the quantity of sheets
to punch and tap the edge of the sheet stack against a flat
surface to ensure that all sheets are aligned. Push the side
of the stack to be punched into the punching slot as far as it
will go, and slide left to align with the edge guide.
Punch pages by pulling handle down (fig.7)

Then lift the handle back to the vertical position and remove
the punched sheets. Note: To prevent jams do not attempt
to punch more than one cover sheet at a time.
