2. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the AdvancedPunch. It is a versatile production system that will enable you to punch documents for a variety of binding styles by means of a simple die change. It has also been designed for easy operation.

The AdvancedPunch is an innovative solution for punching paper and offers the following design features:

There are NO user-serviceable parts inside the machine in order to avoid potential personal injury and/or damage to property or the machine itself.

Service, Diesets

Every dieset is thoroughly oiled at the factory prior to shipping. During normal use this oil will be exhausted and should be replaced. As part of regular maintenance, each dieset should be oiled after approximately 50K punch cycles. GBC recommends use of brand 3-IN-ONE oil as it is readily available. Other light machine oils can also be used.

To oil the dieset, simply apply a small bead of oil along the entire length of the felt strip that is located on the dieset. After oil has been applied, re-install the dieset into the AdvancedPunch and run a small test print job. Please note that it is normal for oil to be present on the first set of sheets punched after oiling the dieset. After approximately 25 to 50 sheets oil will no longer be found on the punched sheet. At this time the AdvancedPunch can be utilized for punching of print jobs.

 Quick-change die sets that are self-latching without tools or levers.  All AdvancedPunch die sets include an Identification Label providing

the user with the hole pattern and name.

 Convenient storage area for three extra Die Sets located above the

sheet bypass.
