ATLAS 150
Page 2
Atlas 150 binding machine was designed to bind documents using channels
and covers of METALBIND system. The covers and the pile of pages are
bound from the outside by the metal channel.
Important safeguards
• the machine should be positioned
on sturdy and level surface
• while binding, do not put your
fingers into the binding slot
• be careful when moving
the wedge (heavy)
Preparation to work
Unpack the machine and install the metal bail on the
housing (the adequate holes are drilled in the housing).
Screw the arm (1) to the machine using the allen wrench
attached. Two bars are included to the machine:
• Magnetic guiding bar (7) - shorter, with magnets;
allows to insert the documentation into the channel easily
• Guide & bind bar (8) - higher, with a ruler;
helps to place the document into the channel
and reduces the size of binding slot
The shape of both bars is specially designed to make inserting the documentation in the channel as easy as possible.
Put the magnetic guiding bar (7) on the binding jaw and insert
the guide & bind bar (8) by the back wall of the binding slot
(3). The cut side of each bar should be directed to the inside
of the binding slot (3).
The correct composition of bars is shown on the picture
(see also theprofile of binding slot on next page; section Binding 5).
The machine is ready to work.

Binding
1.Use the scale (6) to choose the proper channel size (when measuring the thickness
use only sheets, without covers).
The channel sizes and corresponding number of pages you can bind
with them are shown in the table.
H/p/H -
hard cover/pile of pages/hard cover
H/p/T -
hard cover/pile of pages/transparent cover
S/p/S -
soft cover/pile of pages/soft cover
O/p/O -
pile of pages bound only with a channel
Important!
The thickness of the documentation to be bound
must be at least 1,8 mm (with the cover).
If the documentation is thinner,
it is necessary to use the filling strips
(available also from Opus) to make it thick enough.
2. Make sure the bars (7 and 8) are correctly inserted into
the binding slot (3)(see: preparation to work)
3. Lift the arm (1) maximally up.
4. Move the adjusting handle (2) maximally to the left
5. Insert the channel in-between the bars (7 and 8). If using A4 format, move the channel
maximally to the right, close to the side limiter (9). If binding with smaller formats
- centre the documentation using the scale of the guide & bind bar (8). Make sure
the front, bent side of a channel faces the guide & bind bar (8).
6. Move the adjusting handle (2) to the right until you feel the resistance
7. Even a pile of paper, put it between the covers; check if the pages are centered
in relation to the edges of covers.
8. Put the documentation into the channel
• if using A4 format, move the documentation
maximally to the right, close to the side limiter
(9). Make sure the pages are placed in-between
the channel incisions (except for 5mm
O•CHANNELS and all O•SIMPLE CHANNELS
which do not have incisions)
• if using smaller formats, make sure the edges
of binding covers correspond exactly with the edges
of channel
Note! Make sure the back cover
is placed in front of you
9. Press the arm (1) down holding the documentation
at the same time and then lift the arm (1) up.
10. Move the adjusting handle (2) to the left to take out the bound documentation.

Important!
In some cases (e.g. too big channel size comparing with the number
of pages) it may happen that the documentation is not bound properly.
In such case, after lifting the arm (1), move the handle (2) to the right
until you feel the resistance and then repeat step 8.

1. Lift the arm (1) maximally up.
2. Move the adjusting handle (2) maximally to the left
3. Place the wedge (5) ,with its narrower edge directed
to the spine, a few millimeters from the back cover
of the document. Back, flat side of the wedge (5)
must face the front cover. Plastic part of the wedge
should be placed in-between the channel incisions.
4. Fit the ends of the wedge (5) in the debinding hooks(4)
Note
Make sure, the back cover of the document
is placed on the top
5. Move the adjusting handle (2) to the right
6. Press the arm (1) firmly down holding the handle (2)
at the same time.
7. Raise the arm (1) up, move the adjusting
handle (2) to the right and press
the arm (1) down again.
Repeat for several times.
8. Lift the arm (1) up, loosen the adjusting
handle (2) and remove the document
together with the wedge (5), then take
the wedge (5) out of the document
carefully.
9. Make the planned changes
to the document.
The cover may be re-used
(a maximum of three times)
