Combo Binding
Station
The Combo Binding Station is a base unit that supports three different binding
modules. Each module attaches in a matter of minutes. The attachment
procedure will be located in the module instructional section of this manual.
Coil
Inserter
The Plastic Coil Inserter will bind books up to
diameter up to
1-1/4"
(30mm)
The unit attaches to the right side of the Combo
1-1/8"
(26.6mm) thick using coil
Binding Station or the OD 4000 Punch using two wing nuts for easy installation.
Page 7
Wire closer
The wire closer is capable of binding books up to
wire sizes from
3/16
to 1
-1/4".
It has an adjustable closing bar for the different
1-1/8" (28.6mm)
thick. It uses
size wires. Each end can be adjusted independently to obtain a perfect close.
The unit attaches to the rear of the Combo Binding Station or the OD 4000
Punch using four knobs.
Comb opener
The comb opener will bind books up to 2” (51 mm) thick. The opener has an
adjustable ring opener control for exact book placement. The
unit
attaches to the
rear of the Combo Binding Station or the OD 4000 Punch using four knobs.
All of the above modules can be ordered when ordering the Combo Binding
Station or individual units can be ordered at a latter date. Each unit can be
installed in a matter of minutes. The coil inserter can be attached and kept on the
Combo Binding Station or the OD 4000 Punch permanently. If the Wire closer
module is installed on the Combo Binding Station or the OD 4000 Punch and the
Comb opener module is required: the wire closer will have to be removed so that
the comb opener can be installed. The opposite is also true. It only takes a few
minutes to detach any one of the modules to install any other one.

up
both slots on the mandrel bracket. Use the black knob (3) to tighten
the mandrel in place.

First, prep the book by removing the back cover and place it on top of the
front cover. This will position the binding edge of the wire at the inside cover
at the back of the book. Place the book on the edge of a table so the holes
overhang the table a slight amount. Make sure the covers are facing down
