Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix (from the manual) |
|---|---|---|
| Holes run off the edge of the sheet | The punch is punching holes the sheet does not cover. | Pull out the disengagement pins for partially covered holes. Page 3 |
| Punch handle is hard to pull | Too many sheets were inserted. | Punch no more than 20 sheets of 20 lb paper at once. Comfortable punching is 12 to 15 sheets. Page 3 |
| Cover holes do not line up with the inner sheets | Side margins differ for 11" sheets and 11-1/4" covers. | Set the Side Margin Control for each size. Punch the inner sheets and the cover separately. Re-center margins for oversize covers. Page 3 |
| Wire does not match the punched holes | The pitch or wire size was not checked. Some wire diameters use a different size than standard. | Read the Selector for punch pitch, depth margin, wire size and closure. Check the wire you have before punching. Page 3 |
| Wire seam is under-closed or over-closed | The Closer Control setting is off. | Adjust the Closer Control a little left or right. The seam should just touch. Page 4 |
| Document is longer than 14 inches | The sheet is longer than the punch throat. | Punch the left part first, flip the sheets, and punch again. Place one already punched hole on the Continuous Punch Guide. Page 4 |
