Safety instructions

YOUR SAFETY AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF OTHERS IS
IMPORTANT TO ACCO BRANDS EUROPE. IN THIS INSTRUCTION
MANUAL AND ON THE PRODUCT ARE IMPORTANT SAFETY
MESSAGES. READ THESE MESSAGES CAREFULLY.

m

Maintenance

Please ensure that the clippings tray is emptied on a regular
basis. This will prevent blockage and ensure that the unit is
always ready to punch. The clippings tray can be accessed
from the back of the machine.

In order to prevent overloading never try and punch more than
the maximum number of sheets recommended (20 sheets of
80gsm).The unit is maintenance free if handled correctly.

Service

Contact an authorised GBC® service representative for any
required repairs.

How to bind

1

Measure document using colour coded guide (fig.1)

2

Select comb which fits your document (fig.2)
Use the table to choose a suitable comb size. Please note
that this guide is based on 80gsm paper. The sheet capacity
of combs will vary depending on the type and thickness of
the cover sheets you have chosen. If in doubt select the
next comb up in capacity.

3

Load comb onto machine (fig.3)
Insert the binding comb next to the white positional arrow
on the machine, behind the metal comb support fingers,
with the open side of the comb pointing upwards.

Note: If using GBC

®

ProCombs™ the white arrow on your

comb should align to the white arrow on the machine.

4

Open comb by turning lever towards you (fig.4)
The coloured arrows adjacent to the opening comb act as
a guide as to how far to open in order to allow punched
sheets to be easily inserted.

Note: If using GBC

®

ProCombs™ the coloured line on your
comb should align to the coloured arrows on the machine
for faster binding.

5

Select document size (fig.5)
Rotate the edge guide to the paper / cover size you wish to
bind; A4 (297mm x 210mm) or Letter (215mm x 279mm).
When using oversized covers, rotate the edge guide to the
oversize position, punch the covers for your document and
set aside. Then rotate the edge guide to select either A4 or
Letter and proceed.

6

Load pages into slot (fig.6)
You can punch 2 cover sheets (0.2mm) or up to 20 sheets
of paper (80gsm) at a time. Select the quantity of sheets
to punch and tap the edge of the sheet stack against a flat
surface to ensure that all sheets are aligned. Push the side
of the stack to be punched into the punching slot as far as it
will go, and slide left to align with the edge guide.

7

Punch pages by pulling handle down (fig.7)
Then lift the handle back to the vertical position and remove
the punched sheets. Note: To prevent jams do not attempt
to punch more than one cover sheet at a time.

8

Combine pages with comb (fig.8)
Remove the sheets from the punch slot and insert onto the
fingers of the binding comb.

9

Repeat process as required
Repeat stages 6-8 until your document is fully loaded on
the comb.

J

Close (fig.9)
Close comb and remove document.

Helpful hints

Place front covers finish side down on the open comb and the
back covers finish side up.

For best results always use GBC

®

brand covers with GBC®

colour-coordinated binding combs.

The binding comb can be opened and closed again at any time
to replace or add individual sheets (see step 4).
