For easy turning of pages, make sure you
have the right depth margin for punch. The
greater the number of pages, the deeper the
punch margin required.
1. Based on Diameter Scale
reading, on the Master
Selector you will see :
-- Depth Margin of punch
( Color coded )
-- Wire Closure
-- Wire, Coil or Comb Size
2. Set Depth Margin Control
to the color determined
from Step 1. Color indicated
on Depth Margin Control
should match color on Master
Selector.
3. ( For Models with Wire 31
or with Wire 21)
Set Wire Closer Control
to the wire closure size
determined from Step 1.
4. ( If needed ) Use Master
Selector to select /
identify the size of your
wires or combs.
