BEFORE YOU BIND
Galaxy includes two methods of wire comb closure, for all sizes of wire comb diameters between 6 and 14mm.
1– Visual scale. – ideal for binding single documents. The moving closing jaw includes an easy to read scale
2– Selectable lock control. – ideal for multiple documents of the same sizes. Set the red STOP bar to the preferred position. Turn the control wheel towards MAX or MIN positions as required. The red stop bar moves up and down within the central window.
STOP
Max 20 (80gsm)
- Select the correct wire comb diameter using the storage tray guide.
- Hang the selected wire comb onto wire comb support.
- Test punch scrap sheets to check edge guide setting.
- Punch sheets in small batches that do not overload the machine or user.
STEPS TO BIND – SINGLE DOCUMENT
- Starting with the rear cover.
Load punched sheets directly onto the hanging open wire comb.
- Punch and hang the front cover. Punch and hang the remaining sheets.
- Lift the wire comb upwards off the hooks. Carefully place into the open wire closing jaws. Ensure the wire comb is open and touching the bottom of the mechanism.
- Lift the wire closing lever forwards. The closing scale guide is on the moving jaw. Close the jaws until the wire gauge shows the size of wire being closed.

STEPS TO BIND – MULTIPLE DOCUMENTS
- Test close selected wire comb.
Set closure lock as required. Check wire seam closure is complete.
- Starting with the rear cover.
Load punched sheets directly onto the hanging open wire comb.
- Punch and hang the front cover. Punch and hang the remaining sheets.
- Lift the wire comb upwards off the hooks. Carefully place into the open wire closing jaws. Ensure the wire comb is open and touching the bottom of the mechanism.
- Lift the wire closing lever. The jaws will close at the pre-selected stop position.
FINISHING THE BINDING
- Check the closed seam. If the seam is not closed correctly, the document can be placed into the jaws and closed again.
- To hide the seam, turn the rear cover backwards. The front cover is now visible. The seam is hidden inside the document.
- Check wire seam closure is complete. Loose binding allows sheet loss. Good closure retains all sheets.

CORRECTING A BOUND DOCUMENT
Wire binding is a secure binding system. Additional sheets cannot be added unless the document is disassembled and then re-bound.
REMOVAL OF WASTE CLIPPINGS
The waste tray is located under the machine and is accessed from each side. For best results empty the tray regularly. The tray should be emptied after every 50 operations to ensure no blockages occur.
STORAGE
Lower the lid. The Galaxy wire binder is designed to be stored horizontally on the desk.
