AB500HS General Information page 5
4 General Information
Caution
Please read this manual very carefully before installing or starting the
Autobind 500HS
4.1 Intended Use
The RENZ®AutoBind 500 (subsequent named AB500HS) is a binding machine for Ring Wire
elements. Optional you can cut Ring Wireelements.
•Any other use is not allowed. Each operator has to be familiar with all safety regulations and the
intended purpose of the machine.
•The machine is not intended for types of use other than those listed here. Any infringement of this is
considered improper use!
We would like to draw particular attention to the fact that it is forbidden:
•to do other jobs like binding (and optional Ring Wirecutting) with the AB500HS
Caution
•If the AB500HS is not used in accordance with this requirement, safe use of the
machine cannot be guaranteed.
•The user, and not the manufacturer, of the machine is liable for all personal and
material damage arising from improper use.
4.2 Operating description
The RENZ®AB 500 is a semi automatic binding machine to close double loop wire from 100mm –
500mm working width and a diameter range from 3/16” – 1 1/8”. Additional equipment (KAS-unit)
enables you to bind calendar with hangers. Skip binding up to 10 elements are possible in standard
configuration.
4.3 Sequence of operation
•The product has to be placed at the front and side stops at the table.
•By pressing the foot pedal the clamping device and the front stop angle of the binding table moves
down.
•If a KAS is installed the delivery slider moves forward and the table follows with the product.
•Now the lower closing bar moves upwards and pushes the narrow loops through the perforation and
therefore closes the Ring Wire.
•The lower closing bar moves down and synchronous the holding rail of the upper closing bar lifts up
to provide enough space for the product to come out of the closing bars.
•The table moves back, the clamping is opened, the front stop angle comes up and the holding bar of
the upper closing bar comes down.
•If you have activated the function "belt on" the product will be removed sidewards from the table by
the belts.
•Parallel a new section of loops will be feed into the closing bars. The machine is ready for the next
cycle.

AB500HS General Safety Instructions page 6
5 General Safety Instructions
5.1 User´s Duty of Care

10.1 Paper side stops
•At the left side of the machine table, there are the two side stopsc
which can be adjusted to align the holes in the paper with the RING
WIRE®elements in the closing bar.
10.2 Clamping rail
•The clamping railcis mounted transversely over the front
area of the machine table. It helps to secure the product
to be bound during the transport into the closing bar. The
opening height of the clamping rail can be adjusted
according to the diameter of the RENZ RING WIRE®
element selected.
10.3 Table height adjustment
•According to the used diameter you have to adjust the front stop
position of the table. The screwcenables you to adjust the front
stop position. The screw is located at the lower front side of the
binding table.
10.4 Table front stop position

air for the machine. The air is dried and kept at a constant
pressure. The water trap functions automatically when the
water in the water container reaches a certain height, a
float valve opens and the water is drained off.
•The standard operation pressure is set at about 7-7,5 bar
(101- 109psi). when the machine is delivered. This
pressure can be changed by turning the pressure setting.
Attention!! do not set more than 8,0 bar (116psi)
•(A higher pressure may be required for larger diameters).
If the pressure will fall below 5,5 bar (80psi), an error
message is shown on the display.
•The air supply for the calendar hanger tool (KAS) is
turned off and on by pushing and turning the manual KAS
supply valve.
Caution
Never set the pressure higher than 8,0 (116psi) bar. By higher mechanical load you
