4. Operating Instructions

• To Remove Documents: Open the front cover, then carefully slide the documents off the filing prongs.
• To Add More Documents: Follow the 'Inserting Documents' steps (Section 3.2). Ensure not to overfill the folder, as this can strain the mechanism and damage documents.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your Leitz Plastic-Hefter:

• Cleaning: Wipe the folder with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the PVC material.
• Storage: Store folders flat or upright in a filing cabinet. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can cause the PVC to warp or discolor.
• Handling: Do not bend or fold the folder excessively, as this can compromise its structural integrity.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Leitz Plastic-Hefter, consider the following:

• Documents do not fit: Ensure your documents are standard A4 size (210 x 297 mm). The folder is specifically designed for this dimension.
• Folder appears warped: This can occur from improper storage or exposure to heat. Store folders flat or upright in a cool, dry place. Avoid overfilling.
• Filing mechanism is stiff: Ensure no paper fragments or foreign objects are obstructing the mechanism. Do not force the prongs.
• Cover does not close securely: Check if the folder is overfilled. Remove some documents if necessary. Ensure the cover is aligned correctly with the filing strip.
