How to Use Binding Machine

1. Turn on the binding machine

It all starts by turning on the binding machine. When the machine starts running, you will then need to place the comb at the tip of the teeth. The binding comb size that you choose will depend on the width and length of the document. However, most combs will be between 1/4 inch and 2 inches.

2. Insert the comb on the teeth opener

After you have turned on the machine, you’ll now have to insert the comb onto the teeth opener. Ensure that the teeth are facing up as you do this. Next, you will have to open the comb by rotating the crank towards you. Once the comb is open, you can place the cut paper into the comb. In the meantime, cut the remaining pieces of paper.

3. Insert the paper in the cutting slot

When the paper is placed in the cutting slot, push it to the ruler’s left side. Afterward, try lining the paper up properly and press it down with the foot pedal. At this point, the foot pedal will bring down the electronic cutter to punch holes into the sheets.

4. Set up the holes against the binder comb

After lining up the holes, try pushing them onto the comb. Ideally, repeat this until you finish binding your document as needed. After that, close up the binding comb and remove the document from the binding machine.

Always ensure that you cut the plastic cover sheet before you start. Plus, try to be precise whenever you are lining the paper in the cutter to avoid having crooked cuts.
