  2. Never operate your machine near water or any type of liquid to reduce the risk of electric shock.
  3. Periodically check the electrical chord of your Omega-4in1 for any visible sign of damage and avoid using it when it is present.
  4. Use a test sheet to punch to determine if there will be any holes running off the sides and disengage the appropriate pins.
  5. Do not punch more than 20 sheets of 20lb. paper when punching. Preferably, punch no more than 12-15 sheets at a time to help extend the life of your Omega-4in1.
  6. When punching on PVC or PP covers, it is recommended that you punch at a maximum of 2 sheets at a time.
