3.2 Initial Cleaning (Removing Anti-Rust Oil)

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Punching Documents

1. Adjust Margin Depth: Locate the paper margin adjustment knob on the side of the machine. Rotate it to select the desired margin depth (2.5mm, 3.5mm, or 4.5mm) based on your document's thickness. Thicker documents generally require a larger margin depth.

3. Insert Paper: Insert up to 15 sheets of 80gsm A4 paper into the paper feed slot, ensuring it is flush against the side stopper and margin guide.
4. Punch Holes: Firmly pull down the operate handle to punch the holes. Release the handle and remove the punched paper. Repeat for all pages.

4.2 Wire Binding (3:1 Pitch)

The TD-130 is designed for 3:1 pitch double wire binding, suitable for up to 120 sheets.

1. Prepare Wire Spine: Select a wire spine appropriate for your document thickness (up to 13mm for 120 sheets). Place the wire spine onto the binding plate's metal hooks, ensuring the open side faces upwards.
2. Load Punched Pages: Carefully thread the punched pages onto the open wire spine. Ensure all pages are correctly aligned.
3. Close Wire Spine: Once all pages are loaded, pull the operate handle downwards to close the wire spine. The machine will compress the wire, securing your document.
4. Remove Document: Release the handle and remove your professionally bound document.

4.3 Spiral Binding (3:1 Pitch)

The TD-130 can also be used for spiral binding with 3:1 pitch coils.

1. Punch Holes: Follow the punching instructions in Section 4.1 to punch holes in your document.
2. Insert Spiral Coil: Manually thread the spiral coil through the punched holes. Ensure the coil is inserted smoothly.
3. Secure Coil: Once the coil is fully inserted, use a pair of pliers to cut off any excess coil and crimp the ends to prevent unraveling.

4.4 Manual Book Ring Binding

For documents requiring flexible binding, book rings can be used.

1. Punch Holes: Follow the punching instructions in Section 4.1 to punch holes in your document.
2. Insert Book Rings: Manually insert the desired number of book rings through the punched holes.
3. Close Rings: Close the book rings to secure the document.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your TD-130 binding machine.

• Empty Waste Tray: Regularly check and empty the waste collection tray located at the bottom of the machine. This prevents paper scraps from accumulating and potentially jamming the punching mechanism.
• Clean Blades: Periodically punch through a few sheets of scrap paper to help clean any residue from the punching blades.
• Lubrication: If the punching action becomes stiff, apply a small amount of machine oil to the moving parts of the punching mechanism.
• Storage: Store the machine in a clean, dry environment when not in use.
