BEFORE YOU BIND
STEPS TO BIND
- Punch sheets in small batches that do not overload the machine or user.
- 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 mechanism. 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.
- 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.
Max 15 (80gsm)
