Setting up
1 Retain the packaging in case you need to return the machine for
repair. Place on a secure, stable surface.
2 The machine is divided into two parts, one for punching and one for
binding. This means that one person can be punching while another
person is binding.
Document assembly
1 Collate your punched document and check all holes are aligned
correctly.
2 Place the receiving strip (bottom binding strip with holes) textured
side down onto the machine (see fig 1). Be sure that the locating
hole, (smaller than the rest of the holes) in the receiving strip is
placed over the locating pin (see fig 2).
The strip is positioned
correctly over the locating pin when it is difficult to slide the
strip to the right. Failure to properly align the strip can cause
damage to the machine.
3 Place the back cover (face down), the punched sheets (with the
last page on the bottom) and the front cover (face up) on top of the
receiving strip.
4 Insert the pins of the correct size document strip through the
punched holes (see fig 3) so that the pins of the document strip go
into the holes in the receiving strip (see fig 4).
Binding the document
1 Place your hands at both the right and the left end of the pressure
bar (pressing on only one side or in the middle will cause binding
quality problems). Press the bar downwards with an even force. (see
fig 5).
2 Next, pull the welding and cutting handle down towards you. The
machine will weld and cut in about 10-20 seconds and the indicator
light will turn off.
Please Note: Once the bar is place downwards please do not
continue to push/hold the handle during the cutting and melting
process. This will result in an unsatisfactory closure of the
document.
3 Press the pressure bar release buttons (see fig 6) on both sides of
the machine. The pressure bar will pop upwards. Lift up the welding
and cutting handle. (see fig 7).
4 Remove the bound document.
Important: Please make sure the pressure bar is rotated to a
downwards direction for smaller documents. Failure to do this will
result in an unsatisfactory closing of the document (see fig 9).
Waste trays
• The waste tray covers are located on both sides of the machine.
Remove the covers and empty the contents of the waste trays on a
regular basis, to prevent clogging and possible damage (see fig 8).
• Important: The waste tray on the binding unit is provided with a
safety switch. If the waste bin is not properly replaced back into the
unit, the ready lamp on the machine will not light up and the binding
machine cannot be used.
