sheets if the paper is heavier). Punch covers separately, and only 2-3 covers (no
more than 2 transparent covers) at a time.

released. Then plug in the machine and press the Punch Button to cycle once.
This will insure that the punching pins return to proper position.
4. Empty the Debris Tray (D) to prevent paper chips from interfering with the punch
operation. The viewing window is conveniently positioned so that you can see
wh4en the Debris Tray is becoming filled and should be emptied.
5. After the entire document is punched, you are now ready to bind.

slots. If you’re using a cover, choose a cover set to color-coordinate with your
VeloBinder® strips.
2. Place your pages between the front and back cover.
3. Put the punched document, face up, onto the table with the punched holes over the
edge of the table. Insert the pins through the punched holes. Turn the document

strip firmly on the table, slide the VeloBinder® tool over the pins from the
outside of the right end of the strip to the center, pushing the pins securely into the
slots.
