Comb Die Backspace (Margin) Adjustment

The comb die assemblies for the HD7700/H, HD7650, HD7100, HD6500, HD7000, HD7000 Plus, HD6700 and HD7500/H have a four position adjustable backspace. The positions are changed by pushing the adjustor bar to the left for deeper settings (commonly used for average to thicker sized books) and pulling the adjustor bar to the right for shallower settings (commonly used for thinner sized books).

Turn machine power off and remove die assembly from the machine.

On the opposite side of the die assembly from the handle, push down on the pin retainer . Pull the pin capture away from the pin retainer to expose the punch pins.

Remove the desired punch pin or pins.

Replace the pin capture by pressing down on the pin retainer and placing the pin capture back into place.

Install die assembly into machine as described earlier and turn machine power back on.

Die maintenance should be performed with the die removed from the machine. To perform the die maintenance, remove the die assembly from the machine (see die installation section). Apply enough oil to lightly coat each pin . u Remove any excess oil with a disposable cloth. After oiling, always punch some scrap paper to remove excess oil.

Saturate a small section of a cloth with oil and using that portion of the cloth, wipe the punch pins to apply a light coating of oil.

Setting the paper stop:

HD7500, HD7650, HD7100, HD7000, HD7000 Plus, HD6500 and HD6700 -

Locate the paper stop on the front cover of the machine. Loosen the knob counterclockwise, so that the guide can be adjusted to the left or the right. Move the paper stop until the desired position is reached and tighten the knob clockwise until tight to lock the paper stop in place. Repeat this procedure until the punch pattern is centered on the paper.

The HD7650, HD7100, HD7000, HD7000 Plus, HD6700 and HD6500 punch machines allow for viewing of common sized paper position markings on the die assemblies. Aligning the paper stop with these marks will result in the punch pattern being centered on the paper and need only small adjustments if at all. u HD7700/H - The HD7700/H utilizes a “lift and move” feature that combines with a fine adjustment knob located on the left side of the machine. To adjust the paper stop, lift up on the small knob of the paper stop and slide to the left or the right. Move the paper stop until the desired position is reached and let the paper stop back down. Minor adjustments of the paper stop can now be made by turning the knob on the left side of the HD7700/H to move the paper stop left or right until the punch pattern is centered on the paper.

The HD7700/H has markings for common sized paper and punch patterns. Lift and move the paper stop to the paper size you are punching and align the pointer of the paper stop with the pattern you are punching in the paper. Set the paper stop down and utilize the knob on the left side to finalize the setting. The paper stop will now be correctly positioned to center the punch pattern on the paper.

Punching Paper:

Select an appropriate number of sheets to be punched and slide the sheets down vertically (Horizontally for the HD7700H and HD7500H) into the opening of the die assembly. When the paper is fully inserted, slide it to the left so it comes in contact with the paper stop. Make sure all the edges of the sheets are flush by tapping the top and the right hand sides of the sheets before activating the punch. Note: Acetate and vinyl covers will require reducing the number of sheets being punched. It is

recommended that only 2-3 sheets of 6 mil acetate be punched during any single cycle of the machine. Attempts to punch more than the recommended amount may lead to an incomplete punch or stall of the machine. Repeated attempts to punch more than the recommended amount may also lead to machine damage.

If a paper activated switch is being used, tap the sheets flush before sliding the paper to the paper stop.

Removing Paper Waste:

The paper waste drawer is located conveniently on the front of the punch. The paper waste drawer is removed by lifting up on the front and pulling out away from the machine. This drawer should be checked frequently while punching and emptied as necessary.

Paper Jam:

The HD7700/H, HD7650, HD7100, HD7000, HD7000 Plus, HD6500, HD6700 and HD7500/H punches use a circuit board for controlling the punch cycle, this circuit board also has the ability to automatically reverse the punch pins to their starting position in the event of a paper jam. This condition could happen if too much material has been attempted to be punched at one time. If this condition occurs, the machine will attempt to reset itself back to its home position. If the punch does not reset itself back to its home position, the punch can be reversed manually.

Turn the machine power switch off and remove some or all of the material in the punch.
