RS 737-099 User manual

Setting Up
1. Use the binder size guide to:
a. Determine the plastic binding element size (see Figure 2).
b. Set the depth of punch tab to matching colour code
(see Figure 3).
2. The paper edge guide can be moved left or right to punch
sheets up to 12" long. Several standard sizes are marked.
Rotate the paper edge guide to punch PAPER or oversize
COVERS (see Figure 4).
3. Pull out any punch selector pins that cause partial holes on
the paper edge. The punched holes should be centred on
the paper length. Test set-up with a spare sheet whenever
sheet size is changed (see Figure 5).
Punching
1. Insert sheets as far as possible and position them against
the paper edge guide (see Figure 6).
2. For optimum hole quality and machine life, punch a
maximum of 15 sheets, 20lb. bond, per cycle. Reduce
sheet quantity for thicker materials i.e. punch a maximum of
2 clear plastic covers per cycle. Do not punch overhead
projector transparencies.
Binding
1. Place the plastic binding element behind the vertical comb
with open side of fingers up (see Figure 7).
2. Push handle to open the plastic binding element slightly
wider than the book thickness.
3. Vertically insert convenient sheet quantities onto the plastic
binding element fingers. Be sure the front cover faces you
and is inserted first (see Figure 8).

4. Lay sheets horizontally onto the machine after they are
placed on the fingers (see Figure 9).
5. When binding thick books, the plastic binding element can
be periodically closed in small increments to expose more
length to accept all the sheets.
6. After all the sheets are placed on the plastic binding
element:
a. Pull the handle to vertical.
b. Rotate the book up and lift it from the machine
(see Figure 10).
7. To add and delete sheets in a completed book, place the
plastic binding element onto the vertical comb. Open and
close the plastic binding element as previously described.
Features
1. The table that holds the paper edge guide lifts up to access a
storage bin for the plastic binding elements (see Figure 11).
2. Mounted in the storage bin are two (2) binding posts that
are used only with oval binding elements, 1-1/4" to 2" sizes.
The binding posts replace the screws located behind the
vertical comb for this application (see Figure12).
Warnings
This comb binder has been designed to provide many years of
safe and reliable book binding service. Adherence to the
safeguards listed below will assist in attaining these goals.
¥Use the comb binder only for its intended purpose of
punching and binding documents.
¥Punch a maximum of 2 clear plastic covers per cycle.
¥Use the comb binder on secure and stable work areas to
prevent the machine falling and possibly causing personal
injury and damage.
