Check the comb size (mm) needed using the paper
thickness guide (B).

Select your comb using the comb size guide (C).
5
Turn the comb selector (D) until the number matches your
comb size (6 - 25+ mm).

ready for easy punching.

4. Punch paper
For manual punching:
Lower the raised handle until the paper is punched, and
support the machine when lifting the handle to the upright
position.
For electric punching (230E only):
Press the ‘punch button’ (I).
Note:
If the machine is overloaded and fails to complete the punch
cycle, the red LED will be lit. Press the ‘punch button’ to cancel
the red LED. If this does not work contact the service helpline.
5. Comb binding
1
Place the plastic comb open side up on the comb opening
teeth (J).

To open the comb, turn the comb opening knob (K).

Punch and then load each paper stack onto the opened
comb until the entire document is loaded.

To close the comb, rewind the comb opening knob and lift
the bound document from the metal teeth.
Binding tips:
• Load the rear cover onto the open comb first, followed by the
internal sheets and front cover.
• To edit your document, additional sheets may be included or
removed by placing your document (comb open side up) onto
the metal teeth and following step 5 instructions again.
