5. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Placement: Place the binding machine on a stable, flat surface.
3. Power Connection: Plug the power adapter into the machine and then into a suitable electrical outlet. The electric coil inserter requires power.
4. Initial Cleaning (Lubrication Removal): Before first use, punch several sheets of oil-absorbing paper (or scrap paper) at least 6 times to remove any residual lubricant from the punching blades. This ensures clean punches for your documents.
5. Handle Assembly: If the punch handle is not pre-assembled, insert it into the designated slot and secure it according to the instructions in the video below.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Adjusting Paper Settings

1. Set Paper Sizing Guide: Adjust the paper sizing guide to match your document size (Letter, A4, A5). This ensures symmetrical paper output.

6.2. Punching Documents

1. Insert up to 20 sheets of 80g paper (or 2 PVC covers) into the paper inlet, aligning them against the paper sizing guide.
2. Firmly pull down the punch handle to punch the holes. Release the handle to return it to its original position.

3. Repeat the punching process for all pages and covers.

6.3. Binding Documents with Electric Coil Inserter

1. Gather your punched pages and covers.
2. Take a spiral coil (up to 2" diameter can be inserted by hand, up to ¾" using the electric inserter).
3. Start threading the coil through the first few holes of your document manually.
4. Press the Rubber Roller Rotary Switch to activate the electric coil inserter.

5. Gently guide the partially inserted coil against the rotating rubber roller. The roller will automatically feed the coil through the remaining holes.
6. Once the coil is fully inserted, release the Rubber Roller Rotary Switch.
7. Use the provided coil crimper pliers to cut and crimp both ends of the coil. This prevents the coil from unraveling.

7. Maintenance

• Waste Bin: Regularly empty the Drawer Type Scrap Box to prevent accumulation of paper scraps, which can affect machine performance.
• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Lubrication: The machine is pre-lubricated. If you notice increased resistance during punching over time, consult TIANSE customer support for guidance on appropriate lubrication.

8. Troubleshooting

• Half-punched holes: Ensure the disengaging pins are correctly set for your paper size. Adjust the paper sizing guide to ensure proper alignment.
• Difficulty punching: Do not exceed the maximum punching capacity. Reduce the number of sheets per punch. Ensure the punch handle is pulled down firmly and completely.
• Coil not inserting smoothly: Ensure the electric coil inserter is turned on. Check that the coil is correctly aligned with the punched holes and the rubber roller.
• Machine not powering on: Check the power adapter connection and the electrical outlet.
