[. . . ] 120 *Standard office paper (20 lbs/80g) For best results, always stay within these punching limits. While more sheets may fit in the machine, it is likely to cause a jam and, over time, shorten its useful life. If the machine jams frequently even at or below capacity, it could be due to high humidity or heavier than standard paper. [. . . ] Keep the size in mind because it will determine how far to lower the bar when pressing the wire later in the process. 4 · Adjust centering of document, if necessary. 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. Put in a sheet of scrap paper of the same size and punch it, following the standard punching procedure. If the row of holes is not centered along the document edge, turn the document wheel ¸ a little in one direction or the other to move the edge guide to a better position and retest. (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 start binding: · Attach wire by its larger loops to the hooks ¹ near the back of the machine, making sure the opening is facing up. Following the standard punching procedure, punch both back and front covers. First insert the back cover face up onto the smaller loops of the wire, then the front cover face down, allowing both to hang down behind the machine. (The back cover comes first so that the wire opening will be hidden. ) · Punch and insert sheets in batches of no more than 15 pages, your machine's punching capacity, using the same procedure and insert them face down into the wire. Repeat punching and inserting, as necessary, until all pages are in the wire and hanging from the back of the machine. Return the bar to a horizontal position to give yourself full access to the document. To do this, take hold of the complete document, one hand on each side, and lift it on its axis to a horizontal position but not farther. (Raising it beyond this will lead the document back out of the small loops. ) In this position, draw the document firmly toward you, which will disengage the wire from the hooks. Guide the document, wire edge first, into the entry until it makes contact with the plate at the bottom. Holding the document upright with one hand, lower the bar with gentle, steady pressure until the arrow printed on the top left side of the machine matches with your wire size in the window . If the wire did not close completely, put the document back in and try lowering the bar a little further. If your machine should jam during punching, don't tear out the paper in an effort to clear it. Instead, raise the bar back up and lower it with as much strength as you can, repeating this until you have cut through all of the sheets. 5 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 empty the waste drawer regularly to prevent cuttings from interfering with the dies.
