appearance of your book. Covers are not included with the number of sheets
column.

6) Loading a Book into a Comb.
a) Placing the comb onto the rake.
Place the comb onto the rake with the fingers of the comb facing the front of
the machine. The solid section of the comb will be facing the rear of the
machine. Make sure the points of the fingers are facing up.

b) Setting the comb opener stop.
The comb opener stop knob is located on the rear of the comb opener. Set
the comb opener stop by turning the knob counter clockwise so the combs
open far enough to place a book on the fingers of the comb, but not to far so
the comb is lying flat with no room for the book.
c) Placing the book onto the comb.
Place the holes of the book on the fingers of the comb. A slight rotating of the
book will help guide the holes onto the comb. Return the opener handle to
close the comb into the book. The binding process is now complete.
d) Die Margin setting
The margin on a standard comb die is fixed at 3/32”. This margin will work
fine until you bind books up to about 1” in comb size. After that, there is too
little paper between the edge of the hole and the edge of the sheet. Tearing of
a sheet out of the book can occur when handling the book to rough. It is
recommended when binding books beyond this size you use the optional
variable backstop comb die.
