EWC-8370:
The EWC-8370 requires an outlet within 5 feet that provides a
15-amp service (16-amp European) which is protected at the
customer’s circuit box. Never attempt to move the EWC-8370 with
one person! Always move your EWC-8370 with two people, one
on each end. To mount your EWC-8370 to an OD or HD vertical punch (except
HD-7500) will require an optional mounting kit. Contact your dealer for the kit that
fits your punch model and follow the instructions inside the kit. The EWC-8370
comes as a stand-alone machine and is ready to operate after setup.

2) Machine Specifications:
The maximum book length is 14” (356MM) (HC-8318 up to 18”, Euro A3)
down to a minimum of 5-1/2”, Euro A6. Book stops are placed at the 5-1/2”,
Euro A6, 8-1/2”, Euro A5, 11”, Euro A4 & 14”, and Euro 13” positions. The
book stop positions are placed at the most common book lengths, although
any size book can be bound from 14” (18” HC-8318) down to 5-1/2”. See
chapter 3) Punching Requirements, for exact hole specifications.
3) Punching Requirements: The correct punch hole patterns must to be
used in order to provide a clear path for the wire as it is closed into the
book. All 3 machines require a 3-1 pitch hole pattern, which measures 3
holes to every inch.
Hint: The size and placement on the sheet is also important. If the size of
the hole is smaller, or if the placement of the hole is not in the correct
position, the wire may have a problem closing into the holes of the book.
The following sizes are standards and are manufactured by Performance
Design Inc. for the Rhin-O-Tuff line of paper punch machines.
