Operating Instructions

Using Fellowes plastic combs with a compatible binding machine involves a few simple steps to create professionally bound documents.

1. Prepare Document: Ensure all pages of your document are collated in the correct order.
2. Punch Holes: Use your 19-ring comb-binding machine to punch holes along the binding edge of your document pages and covers. Punch a small stack of pages at a time to ensure clean holes and prevent jamming.
3. Open Comb: Place a plastic comb onto the binding machine's comb opener. Operate the lever to open the comb's rings.
4. Load Pages: Carefully slide the punched pages onto the open rings of the plastic comb. Start with the back cover, then the document pages, and finally the front cover. Ensure all holes align with the comb's teeth.
5. Close Comb: Once all pages are loaded, operate the lever on the binding machine to close the comb's rings, securing the document.
6. Remove Document: Carefully remove the bound document from the machine.
