binding slot, straight side of the channel must be on the moving side of the jaw,
and the curved side must be on the de-binding plate.

square, tight to the bottom of the channel.

level 3, which can be used on a wide range of documents and covers. This mode is
the default mode when switching on the equipment. If it is necessary to change the
binding pressure, you can do this on the control panel. This is because of using
shorter channels, channels with soft coverings or binding together very tough
materials.

space to remove the bound documents and covers.
