Coil
Determine the coil size needed by
measuring the book thickness
with guide on right side of the
accessory tray.
Move book from larger to smaller
sizes until book just fits between
guides.
The number associated with the
slot (i.e. 8mm) signifies what size of
coil to use.
Identify the size of coil by sliding coils over
the circular pegs starting from small to large.
Use the coil that fits on the peg found by
measuring the book thickness in previous step.
