Set-up
Before you can operate the machine, you need to assemble the punching bar. Using the illus-
tration on the inside of the manual cover as a reference
ᕡ
, attach the cushioned
hand grip first to one arm of the machine and then to the other. (We have included a screw-
driver and screws for this purpose.)
Operation
Before binding the first document on the machine, punch a few sheets of scrap paper
to remove any factory-applied
g r e a s e
that might still be on the cutting dies. Using the
illustration on the inside of the manual cover as a reference, do this by following the standard
punching procedure
:
• Pull out support arms
ᕢ
to add stability
• Raise bar
ᕣ
as far as you can
• Slide stacked sheets into punch entry
ᕤ
as far as they will go
• Even them up against the edge guide
ᕥ
• Press bar down firmly as far as it will go, then
• Raise it back and remove sheets.
To take full advantage of the machine’s ergonomic design, punch documents while standing
in front of the machine and with both hands on the rotating grip of the bar.
This will also ensure that your hands stay clear of the wire press entry
ᕦ
at the top of the
machine, which closes each time you lower the bar.
Repeat the punching procedure a few times on fresh parts of the paper until the edges of the
holes are clean. The machine is now
ready for use
.
Before beginning to bind, you need to :
•
Determine wire size.
If you are using standard paper, you
can use the guide printed inside the waste drawer
ᕧ
t o
determine what size wire you should use. If you need or want
a more precise measurement, lay the stacked document,
including covers, on the machine plate
ᕨ
and lower the cur-
sor
ᕩ
onto it. Looking through the viewer
µ
, you will see
the size you need. If the document falls between two sizes,
i t ’s always better to choose the larger one. If you already
have the wire, but are not sure what size it is, use the
diagram printed inside the waste drawer to find out what it
is. Keep the size in mind because it will determine how far to
lower the bar when pressing the wire later in the process.
