5.1 Punching Documents

1. Adjust Margin: The machine features an adjustable margin control. Pull and push the margin adjustment lever to select the desired margin depth (0.12 inch / 3mm, 0.19 inch / 5mm, or 0.27 inch / 7mm). The color indicator on the lever does not directly correspond to the margin distance, so refer to the markings on the machine or test punches.
2. Set Paper Stopper: Adjust the paper stopper to align your documents for consistent punching. The machine supports A4, A5, and A6 paper sizes, clearly marked on the machine's surface.
3. Insert Paper: Insert up to 15 sheets of 80gsm (20lb) paper into the punching slot. Ensure the paper is flush against the paper stopper.
4. Punch: Pull the punching handle down firmly and completely to punch the holes. Release the handle to return it to its original position.

5.2 Binding Documents with Electric Coil Inserter

1. Select Coil: Choose a spiral binding coil appropriate for the thickness of your document. The machine is compatible with 4:1 pitch coils.
2. Align Pages: Gather your punched pages and align them.
3. Start Coil Insertion: Place the first few holes of your document onto the electric coil inserter roller. Turn on the electric inserter switch.
4. Roll Coil: Gently roll the document against the electric coil inserter. The coil will automatically feed through the punched holes. Guide the coil as it progresses.
5. Secure Coil Ends: Once the coil is fully inserted, use the provided pliers to crimp the ends of the coil. This prevents the coil from unraveling and secures your document.

• Clean Blades: Periodically clean the punching blades with a soft, dry cloth to remove any paper dust or debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Ensure the machine is unplugged before cleaning.
