5. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your arch file, follow these simple care instructions:
- Cleaning: The special kraft paper cover is wipeable. Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the file upright on a shelf to prevent warping and maintain its shape.
- Mechanism Care: Periodically check the lever mechanism for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff, ensure no paper debris is obstructing its movement.

If the lever mechanism is difficult to operate, check for any paper fragments or foreign objects lodged within the mechanism. Carefully remove any obstructions. Ensure the file is not overfilled.
- Documents Not Aligning:
Verify that your documents are correctly punched with standard two-hole spacing. Ensure the lever mechanism is fully open before attempting to insert documents.
- File Not Closing Securely:
Check if the file is overfilled. Remove some documents if necessary. Ensure the lever mechanism is pushed firmly until it clicks into its locked position.
