General information:
MBE-300 machines is designed to bind and debind documents in METAL-BIND system.
With special extra elements, which can be bought in OPUS it can also be used in C-BIND
system. The machine has also special document width measurement function which helps
to choose the best size of the channel to bind documents together.
Machine operation is controlled by special microprocessor controller and comments are
shown on LCD display. Device is equipped with two counters: daily counter of bound
documents and total number of bound documents (TOTAL).
Machine can work in three modes: binding, debinding and documents width measurement.
Modes can be changed by special button signed by proper icon.
Machine can work on four pressure levels. Pressure level can be chosen by buttons (see
the control panel). On a panel there is also a button which clears the number of daily bound
documents.
Machine operation does not require any special qualifications, however before use it is
necessary to read user’s guide.
Transport and storage:
MBE-300 is electric power supplied machine designed to work in office environment.
Both the machine and the package should be kept in dry place.
In case of getting wet the machine should be checked by service. It is necessary
to inspect the machine to avoid the risk of electric shock.
Machine can be transported and stored in both very high and very low temperatures.
The package protects the machine while falling down from small hight. It is suggested
to use the machine carefully.
During transporting process the machine is fixed to the wooden pallet. Because of the
weight of the machine it is suggested to transport the machine using a pallet jack truck.
Installation:
The machine should be unscrewed from the pallet. 4mm screw used to unscrew the
elements on the transporting packing case can also be used to unscrew screws fixing
machine to the pallet.
It is recommended to keep the package during guarantee period.
MBE-300 is a machine designed to be used in office environment.
The machine has to be placed on strong and stable surface.
If the machine was exposed on low temperatures it is suggested to wait few minutes
before the first start .
For user’s safety the machine should be power supplied only by original cable. Electric
socket should be supplied with working earth. Voltage rating should be consistened with
data on the name plate placed on a cover of the machine. Disobeying this rule can cause
electric shock.
Before starting the device install a magnetic guiding bar and binding bar
(attached in box with accessories). Magnetic bar install on binding jaw. The shape
of bars is specially designed to make inserting the documentation in the channel

as easy as possible. Before binding insert the binding bar by the back wall of the
binding slot. The correct composition of bars is shown on the pictures.
In the box there is debinding wedge. Storage slot for the wedge is on the bottom
of housing device between cavities which helps transporting the machine.

Debinding:
1. Debinding process starts from the borderline jaw position.
2. Keep the document by the channel in this way that the curved side of the channel is
upward and straight one downward.
3. Place the debinding wedge sharp side to the channel and place the whole document
on hooks.
4. At the same time press and keep pressing START button.
5. The wedge is pushed to the document and after debinding the jaw moves back to the
borderline position.
Take carefully the document with the wedge out –documents are debound.
Counter
The machine is equiped with two counters daily and total one.
Daily counter is cleared with every turning off the machine. If the counter is not seen on a
display it can be turned on by proper button. Daily counter can also be cleared at every
working moment. To see total number of bound documents it is necessary to press the
COUNTER button. If the button is pressed for two seconds daily counted is cleared. Total
number of bound documents is shown while starting the machine.
Software upgrade:
There is also a possibility to upgrade the machine with new version of the software (ask
your supplier about the interface to link the computer to the accessory). To do this action it
is necessary to place the machine in service position (like it is shown on a figure above).

1. After binding process the jaw automatically moves back and leaves the space to take
documents from the machine in easy way. Keep the START button till the signal of the
end of the process –the jaw stops.
2. Take out bound documents.
After binding process the jaw does not go back to the starting position. It shorter the time to
move the jaw to the document. If you want to bind wider channel you have to move forward
the jaw to the right position.
At every moment you can stop the binding process by releasing START buttons. Another
buttons pressing continues the process. If while binding process the jaws are moved back –
the process starts again (from the moment of locking the channel).
Document width measurement:
1. Place the document with covers to the document width measurement slot (as
it is shown on a figure).
2. At the same time press and keep it pressed START button.
3. Document width measurement always starts from the borderline position to
guarantee precise result –at first the jaw is placed forward.
4. The jaw goes to the document and when left hook touches the document is shown on
the display the information on what size of channel should be used.
5. The jaw moves back.
At every moment you can stop the process by pressing START button.

MBE-300 is based on popular binding machine. It is equiped with one binding jaw powered
by two screws linked together by special cogged belt with motor. Mechanism assures the
parallelism of the moving jaws what guarantee regular channel tightness. Motor operation
is controlled by microprocessor control with LCD display. While binding the channel is
pressed to the permanent debinding plate. The channel while debinding by debinding
wedge (placed in debinding hooks) is pressed to the same permanent plate. Left hook
measures the width of the document.
Preparation to work:
1. Connect the plug to the electric socket.
2. Turn the machine on by the button placed on the right side of the cover (display turns
on and shows the information about machine version and the total number of binder
documents).
3. Machine always starts its work with binding mode.
4. Press proper button to choose other mode.
Binding in MB mode:
5. On the display it is shown daily number of bound documents or the pressure level. This
information can be changed by pressing proper counter or pressure button.
6. In accordance with the information on a display place the channel to the slot (straight
side of the channel should be placed on the moving side of the jaw, the curved side
should be placed on a debinding plate side).
7. Press and keep both START buttons (the time between pressing those buttons can
not be longer than 0,2 seconds).
8. The jaw moves to the channel and stops –the channel is locked to place the
document inside in easier way. Place the document into the channel.
9. Press and keep both START buttons once again. The machines starts to bind
documents together.
There are available four different binding pressure moods. The most universal is the level
number 3 that can be used to the wide range of documents. This mood is set after every
start of the machine. If there is a necessity to change the binding pressure press proper
button on a control panel. (because of using shorter channel than 300mm, channel in soft
veneer or binding together very taught materials)
