1 3

Max 15

(80gsm)

1. Punch sheets in small
batches that do not overload
the machine or user.

5. Lift the wire closing lever
forwards. The closing scale guide is
on the moving jaw. Close the jaws
until the wire gauge shows the size
of wire being closed.

the hanging open wire comb.

6. Check the closed seam. If
the seam is not closed correctly,
the document can be placed
into the jaws and closed again.

3. Punch and hang the front
cover. Punch and hang the
remaining sheets.

7. To hide the seam, turn the
rear cover backwards. The front
cover is now visible. The seam is
hidden inside the document.

4. Lift the wire comb upwards off the
hooks. Carefully place into the open
wire closing mechanism. Ensure the
wire comb is open and touching the
bottom of the mechanism.

8. Check wire seam closure is
complete. Loose binding allows
sheet loss. Good closure retains
all sheets.

CORRECTING A BOUND DOCUMENT

REMOVAL OF WASTE CLIPPINGS

Wire binding is a secure binding system. Additional sheets cannot be
added unless the document is disassembled and then re-bound.

STORAGE

Lower the punch handle to the horizontal position. Lower the lid.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

Punched holes are not central

Machine will not punch

Punch holes are not parallel to edge

Partial holes

Damaged hole edges

Waste tray leaks

Edge guide not set

Blockage

Debris is stuck below dies

Sheets not correctly aligned to punch pattern

Check waste tray in empty. Check for blockage to paper entry

Take stiff cardboard and slide into the paper entry. Move the
cardboard sideways to release any stray clippings into the
waste tray

Punch plastic covers with paper sheets. Reduce number of
sheets being punched

Check waste tray is empty and ‘burst feature’ is closed

Sheets fall out of document

Wire comb is not closed enough
