• Adjust centering of document, if necessary. Your machine is factory-set to punch holes
in the document size(s) most common to your geographic region, but if your sheets are some-
what larger or smaller, you may need to adjust the centering. Put in a sheet of scrap paper of
the same size and punch it, following the standard punching procedure. If the row of holes is
not centered along the document edge, turn the document wheel ¸ a little in one direction
or the other to move the edge guide to a better position and retest. (Note: Although a range
of document sizes is marked on your machine, yours will punch only the size(s) of your par-
ticular region.)
Now you are ready to start binding:
• Attach wire by its larger loops to the hooks ¹ near the back of the machine, making sure
the opening is facing up.
• Punch and insert covers. Following the standard punching procedure, punch both back
and front covers. First insert the back cover face up onto the smaller loops of the wire, then
the front cover face down, allowing both to hang down behind the machine. (The back cover
comes first so that the wire opening will be hidden.)
• Punch and insert sheets in batches of no more than 15 pages, your machine’s punching
c a p a c i t y, using the same procedure and insert them face down into the wire. Repeat punch-
ing and inserting, as necessary, until all pages are in the wire and hanging from the back of
the machine. Return the bar to a horizontal position to give yourself full access to the docu-
m e n t .
• Remove document from hooks. To do this, take
hold of the complete document, one hand on each
side, and lift it on its axis to a horizontal position but
not farther. (Raising it beyond this will lead the doc-
ument back out of the small loops.) In this position,
draw the document firmly toward you, which will
disengage the wire from the hooks.
• Press wire. Raise the bar to open the wire press
e n t r y. Guide the document, wire edge first, into the entry until it makes contact with the plate
at the bottom. Holding the document upright with one hand, lower the bar with gentle, steady
pressure until the arrow printed on the top left side of the machine matches with your wire size
in the window Ƹ.
• Raise the bar and remove the bound document from the entry. If the wire did not close
c o m p l e t e l y, put the document back in and try lowering the bar a little further.
If your machine should j a m during punching, don’t tear out the paper in an effort to clear it.
This will clog the cutting area and most likely necessitate a repair. Instead, raise the bar back
up and lower it with as much strength as you can, repeating this until you have cut through
all of the sheets.
