Operating Instructions
- Adjust the Paper Guide: Locate the adjustable guide rail on the side of the punch. Slide it to the desired paper size (e.g., A4, A5, A3) using the viewing window for accurate positioning. This ensures consistent hole placement.
- Insert Paper: Gather the sheets of paper you wish to punch. Ensure the stack is neat and does not exceed the maximum capacity of 15 sheets (80 gsm). Insert the paper firmly against the adjustable guide rail and the back stop of the punch.
- Punching: Press down firmly and evenly on the handle until the holes are punched through the paper. Release the handle.
- Remove Paper: Carefully remove the punched paper from the device.
- Emptying the Confetti Tray: The Rexel P215 features a pop-up confetti tray. Periodically, slide out the translucent tray located at the bottom of the punch to empty the paper confetti. Ensure the tray is securely re-inserted after emptying.
- Locking Handle for Storage: For compact storage, push the handle down and engage the locking mechanism (if present, typically a small lever or button on the side) to keep the handle in a lowered position.

Maintenance

- Lubrication: The punching mechanism is designed for maintenance-free operation. No lubrication is required.
