How to bind using plastic combs
1 Select the correct comb size
• Insert the entire document to be bound into the binder
channel. Press the binding lever downwards and read
off the required comb size from the scale on the mobile
pressure bar. Use the table if you intend to bind more
than approx. 125 sheets of 80g paper (comb larger than
14mm).
2 Insert and open the comb
• Slide the comb opening lock downwards (Fig. 12)
• Place the plastic comb with the open side facing upwards
into the comb holder.
• Press the binding lever downwards so that the comb
opens fully and the material to be bound can be inserted
easily.
If you are only intending to bind a single document, then
continue with Step 4 below. If you wish to bind several
identical documents simultaneously (series) then continue
with Step 3.
3 Restricting the comb opening width
If you need to bind several documents which all require
the same size comb it is more productive to set the comb
opening lock.
• Open you comb as usual using the binding lever.
• Slide the comb opening lock upwards until it stops and let
it lock in this position.
• The comb binding lever will now always open a comb at
this size setting.
4 Load the punched paper onto the comb
• Load each punched paper stack onto the comb.
5 Close the comb
• Move the binding lever back to its uppermost position
• Remove you bound document from the unit.
If you wish to replace or add individual pages you can always
open and re-close the comb again (see steps 2-5).

How to bind using wire/click
1 Select the correct wire size
• Insert the material to be bound into the binder channel
and read of the required wire size from the scale on the
mobile pressure bar.
2 Load the wire
• Position the wire in the holder
3 Load the punched paper
• Load each punched paper stack onto the spine
BINDING TIP!
Place the back cover page (B) on top of the front cover page
(17A) so that the opening of the wire or click cannot be seen
later.
4 Closing the wire/click
Wires are intended for one-off use only. In contrast to the
plastic combs and click spines these cannot be re-opened
and closed.
• Slide the button downwards (Fig 12)
• Hold the binding material with your left hand in the binder
channel in such a way that the wire stops with the open
end facing down.
• With your right hand press the binding lever down as far
as is necessary until the wire is perfectly closed.
• In the case of click close the rings manually or using the
zipper supplied with the clicks.
5 Restricting the closing width of wire
Many identical documents (series) can be bound easily and
simply by restricting the closing width.
• Determine how far you have to press the binding lever
downwards until the wire is perfectly closed (Step 4).
Keep the binding lever in this position.
• Slide the button upwards until it stops and let it lock in
this position.
You can now press down the binding lever to its stop position
and each document in the series is provided with a perfectly
closed wire.
