Introduction
Thank you for buying an αlpha-doc® Punching Machine from James Burn
International SA. This instruction manual has been prepared to help you get
the most from your new machine.
NOTICE
Read this manual thoroughly before installing your αlpha-doc® Punching Machine.
It is essential that you read all the instructions to ensure a safe and correct manner for
operating the machine. Misuse of the machine could be extremely dangerous and lead
to injury.
This manual contains recommendations and instructions for installing, adjusting,
operating and maintaining your punching machine.
Failure to read this manual could result in personal injury or damage to your
equipment, for which we accept no liability.
This manual is a necessary and permanent part of your punching machine and must be
kept with the machine.
Note:
This manual gives you general guidelines for installing and operating your punching
machine. It does not cover every question you may have or every situation that can
occur, in which case you should contact your agent or one of the JBI offices listed
overleaf.
Also in an ongoing effort to improve the quality and performance of this punching
machine, James Burn International S.A. reserves the right to carry out changes to the

1. Installation
Important Precautions for Installation
1.1 Keep your machine away from the radiat ors and other sources of heat. The ambient
temperature has to be lower than 24°. Do not block the ventilation openings.
1.2 Do not place the machine against a wall : allow 0.5m minimum all around the machine
to facilitate tool changing.
1.3 Avoid locating the machine near other machines likely to transmit electro-magnetic
interference (for instance : welding outfit, radio, compressors, portable phones…).
1.4 Before switching the machine ON, read the operating instructions and before first time
use, read the precautions to be taken.
1.5 Power Supply : The machine needs to be connected to a 100-120 V (us) supply with
earth (imperative) to secure the electrical safety (Protection : circuit-breaker 16 A
curve C).
NOTE : Avoid neutral load on the installation, this is equipped with electronics generating
leakage current which can activate upstream protections.

2.1 Working Speed and Mode
The machine is equipped with three working speeds and four working modes as
shown below and whose selection is possible on the keyboard of the machine.
a. Speed (90) : plain good quality copying paper 90 strokes per minute
b. Normal (80) : plain copying paper 80 strokes per minute
c. Card (70C) : plain copying paper with card board 70 strokes per minute
d. Index (70I) : tab sheets 70 strokes per minute

CAUTION
It is possible to punch acetate or similar paper only if each sheet is
interleaved with 10 sheets minimum (plain copying paper) without
any responsibility on our part insofar as the acetate may have a
diversified composition. It is advisable to contact us and to send us
some samples before any trial. We will advise you on the feasibility
of its use.

2. General
2.3 Paper Jams
If the paper jams repeatedly at the outlet :
2.3.1 Check the direction of the warping of the paper located in the feeder and
compare this with the tolerances mentioned in Section 2.2.2.
2.3.2 In case you have to cope with one or more situations, turn your paper so
that you obtain either case no. 1 or 3. It will improve both the pick-up of
the paper and the reception.
2.3.3 Check whether you meet the aforementioned restrictions (see Section
2.2).
2.3.4 Always use a paper of good quality if possible.
2.3.5 When the paper has just been photocopied, it is advisable to let it cool
down for a quarter of an hour before punching it.
CAUTION
The storage of the paper before punching is of great
importance : on cooling the paper may be susceptible
to warping, hence the importance of stacking the paper
correctly.

ADVANTAGES
The second solenoid has to be located in the middle of the sheet to balance the lay gauge.
The lay gauge with three solenoids is made posible by the low pressure of the solenoids,
which enables the sheets not to be damaged.
EXAMPLES

Two solenoids must always be in jogging operation to ensure the pushing of
sheets.
Assembly : Remove the square of side lay gauge to replace by the Tab Option by using a
6-face key to remove the two screws. Connect the two electric wires on the tittle terminal
located on the support.
CAUTION
Disconnect the machine before operation.

8. Maintenance
When the machine runs on a normal basis, namely 8 hours a day, the tool has to be
lubricated once a week with the oil can which is supplied with this tool.
The oil felt pad has to be damp
Drip some oil drops in the
purpose made holes
VERY IMPORTANT
- Check each week that there is no stray confetti inside the
table underneath the tool (don’t forget to empty the confetti
tray regularly)
- When you replace the tool ensure that it is in the lowered
position (see Section 5.4).
