How to bind

1

Measure document using colour coded guide (fig.1)
Open the lid of the machine and rest your document (including any
cover sheets you have chosen) against the lid on the ‘staging’ area
provided. Gently push the document back against the lid and check the
document size using the colour coded guide on the staging area. You
can leave your document on the staging area in readiness to punch.

2

Select comb which fits your document (fig.2)
Use the comb size guide to select the size of comb that fits your
document i.e. 25 sheet document = 6mm comb.

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

6

Load pages into slot (fig.6)
You can punch 2 cover sheets (PVC /240gsm Card only - other
materials x 1 sheet) or up to 25 sheets of paper (80gsm) at a time.

Using the conventional method: Select the quantity of sheets to

punch and tap the edge of the sheet stack against the staging area
to ensure that all sheets are aligned. Place the stack to be punched
directly into the punching slot and slide to the left until it comes to rest
against the edge guide. Your sheets will now be perfectly aligned. Let
go of the sheets and grasp the punch handle with both hands.

Using the gravity fed paper count method for increased

productivity: Pull forward your document (or a stack of sheets from
your document) from its resting position against the lid. Continue
until it meets the wall in front of the punch slot. Relax your grip on
the document or stack and the first 25 sheets will fall directly into the
punching slot. Return the sheets not engaged in the punch slot back
to a resting position against the lid. Slide the sheets in the punching
slot to the left as far as they will go. Your sheets will now be perfectly
aligned. Let go of the sheets and grasp the punch handle with both
hands.

7

Punching the document (fig.7)
Punch pages by pulling handle down, 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 two cover sheets at a time. (PVC
/240gsm Card only, other materials x 1 sheet)

8

Assemble pages onto open 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.

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 side of the machine.

In order to prevent overloading never try and punch more than the
maximum numbers of sheets recommended (25 sheets of 80gsm). The
unit is maintenance free if handled correctly.

Service

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

Helpful hints

For maximum productivity follow stages 6 to 9 starting with your front
cover, then your paper sheets (25 at a time) and finishing with the back
cover.

For best results always use GBC® brand covers with GBC® colour­coordinated binding combs.

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