Thank you lor purchasing the GBC WirePRO 1000. This system leatures our new exclusive wire holder design that enables you to assemble your document as you punch, making it easier to load paper onto the binding element than previous systems! The WirePRO 1000 advanced punching technology also makes it easier to punch more paper at once while providing greater reliability.

A. GEmNG STARTED

2. Insert U shaped wire support bracket into holes on top rear of machine.

3. Firmly push the female end of the power cord into the power cord receptacle (A 1) located on the back of the machine

A CAUTIDN: Make sure this step is complete prior to

plugging the male end of the power cord into a power receptacle.

4. Plug the male end of the power cord into an appropriate power receptacle

B. DETERMINE SHEET WIDTH

1. Set Edge Guide (B) to paper size you wish to bind (11", 8-1/2"letter size, 11-1/4" oversized cover. A4 ring. AS. Japan A4) (see figure 1). When using oversized covers, set the Edge Guide on Covers, punch all of the covers for your job and set aside. Move the Edge Guide back to the 11" setting to punch your contents then bind.

E. BINDING

1. Using the dial on the lelt side adjust the Wire Crimper to correspond with the wire element size to be used.

2 Place the large loops of the wire element into the Wire Holder as shown in figure 3. Be sure it is firmly secured with the small loops facing toward you.

3. Place your punched pages face downward onto the small loops of the wire element. Then place your front and back covers face-to-face against each other. Place the covers onto the wire element with the back cover first and the inside of the front cover facing upward. This step ensures that alter crimping the seam of the wire element will be hidden between the back cover and last page (figure 4).

4. Hold the wire element firmly at each end of the book and remove it from the Wire Holder by sliding it to the lelt or lilting it off. While firmly holding the wire element at each end place the book with the open end of the wire face down into the Wire Crimper. You can release the book so it rests against the support rack or continue to hold it with one hand (figure 5).
