User manual FELLOWES PB55CB9

[. . . ] To ensure your binding machine enjoys a long, pro d u c t i ve life, I hope you take the time to read the few pages of this manual. If you have any questions or wish to comment on this product, we welcome your call, email or letter. Sincerely, James Fellowes Chairman & CEO Contents Product Profile . Although it is the smallest plastic comb binder in the product family, we think you'll find it a very hard worker. [. . . ] Your machine is factory-set to punch holes in the document size(s) most common to your geographic region, but if your sheets are somewhat larger or smaller, you may need to adjust the centering somewhat. Put in a sheet of scrap paper of the same size and punch it, following the standard procedure (p. If the row of holes is not centered along the document edge, loosen the thumbscrew of the edge guide and slide it a little in one direction or the other, as necessary, and retest. When you are satisfied with the centering, tighten the thumbscrew to fix the position. (Note: Although a range of document sizes is marked on your machine, yours will punch only the size(s) of your particular region. ) Now you are ready to do your p u n c h i n g, which you can combine with ordering your document. Following the standard punching procedure: · Punch the front cover and lay it face down next to the machine · Punch the document in batches of no more than 8 sheets, laying them face down on top of the front cover, and · Punch the back cover, laying it on top of the last page. When you have finished punching the document, then: · Op en t he comb. Position the comb behind the rake with the comb opening toward the top. Push the comb firmly down between the rake teeth and push the lever toward the back of the machine, releasing it when the comb teeth have uncurled enough to allow easy insertion of the document. (If pushing the lever does not uncurl the comb, you need to turn it over. ) · Ins er t the document. Turn over the stacked document and insert the front cover into the comb. (The front cover should be first so that the comb opening is hidden at the back. ) Then, taking as many sheets as you can reasonably handle, line up the holes and insert them into the comb, putting in the back cover last. Simply pull the lever toward you, back to its original vertical position, and lift out the finished bound document. 4 If you try to punch in batches of more than 8 sheets or 1 cover, you may cause your machine to j a m. If this happens, you will not be able to push the lever completely down to the horizontal position. To avoid damaging your machine, d o not te ar o ut she ets in an effort to clear the jam. This will clog the cutting area with paper and probably make a repair necessary. Instead, raise the lever back up and lower it with as much strength as you can, repeating this until you have cut through all of the sheets. Maintenance Strictly speaking, there is no maintenance required for your machine except occasionally wiping it off with a soft cloth dampened with plain water. You can, however, help extend its life if you always: · Make sure documents and covers are clean and free of metal, and · Empty the waste drawer regularly to prevent debris from interfering with the dies. Troubleshooting If you experience a problem with your machine, you may be able to solve it quickly yourself: · St uck le ver .
