1. Initial operation
The machine can be operated from a sitting or standing position. Choose a solid position for the installation. Lift
the machine by the sides to remove from the box.
Insert the plug from the foot pedal and the power cord into the sockets on the right side of the machine. Plug the
main power cord into the power outlet (115 V). Turn on the main switch at the right side of the machine; the fan
will start running. By pressing down on the foot pedal, the punch will complete one cycle.
Note:
Motor runs only if pedal is pressed and will stop immediately after releasing (at the end of punching stroke).
When the die is removed a limit switch in the machine prevents the starting of the motor.
Caution: Some parts of the machine are treated with a rust preventive agent. Before binding the first t me,
punch scarp paper to remove the coating from the punch pins. Repeat the process until the holes punch
cleanly.
2. Adjusting the paper guide
A4 size
Set paper guide to the right
e.g. RENZ RING WIRE
A5 size
Set paper guide to the left
e.g. RENZ RING WIRE
For sizes larger than A4 size, push down more pins to engage and adjust the paper guide accordingly.
3. Adjust edge distance to selected diameter
Turn the adjusting knob at the right side of the machine to the selected diameter. The index is located above the
knob.
4. Punching
Set the book upright, binding side to the bottom. Jog the book to align the pages. Place the back cover on top of
the front cover, place book face down then take pages from the top starting with the last page. This places the
back page against the wide loops when assembling. Insert paper into the punching slot (max. 30 pages with 80
g/m²). Adjust the paper guide ( A4 size right, A5 size left). Paper must be centered on the punch pins. If not,
align it again. Press foot pedal; motor starts and punches the pages.
