TIPS

1. Align Side Margin Control to proper sheet & cover size.

Note: There are different side margins for 11" sheets & their 11-1/4" covers.

2. Whenever necessary, pull out Disengagement Pins to avoid partially punched holes.

3. Insert sheets to the appropriate slot ( depending on the type of binding you wish to make ) and pull its corresponding handle to punch.

Maximum single punching: 20 sheets of 20 Lbs

( 70-80g/m2 ) paper.

Comfortable single punching: 12-15 sheets of 20 Lbs

( 70-80 g/m2 ) paper. ( Recommended )

Punch inner sheets and

covers separately as side margin may vary.

Re-Align ( Center) margins for oversize covers.
