Troubleshooting

Wire binding instructions

For use with GBC 34 loop wire elements.

1. Set the wire

1Lift the lid and punch handle to the upright position.

2 Place entire document so it rests on the lid.

3 Check the wire size (mm) needed using the paper thickness guide. 4 Measure your wire using the wire size guide.

5 Turn the wire selector (located at the side of the machine) until the number matches your wire size (5mm-14mm).

6 The machine will automatically prevent your wire from over closing, and will adjust the margin depth.

2.Sort paper

1For managing large documents use the document separator.

2Push the separator into the document.

3Lift the separator upwards to reveal the first stack of paper ready for easy punching.

3.Set paper size

1On manual machines, ensure that the punch handle is in the upright position before centering the paper.

2Load the first paper stack into the punch slot.

3Centre the paper using the dial located at the front of the machine.

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 (W25E only): Press the ‘punch button’ located on the right panel of the machine.

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.

Security

A security slot is fitted for use with leading makes of security leash. E.g. Kensington Microsaver.

5.Wire binding

1 Open the hinged cover at the front of the machine to reveal the wire binding channel.

2Place the wire (open side up) on the wire support.

3Feed each paper stack onto the wire and repeat until your document is complete.

4Support the document and wire on removal from the wire support.

5 Insert the document into the wire closing jaws (wire opening face down).

6 Support the document and pull down the handle at the side of the machine to close the jaws.

Binding tips:

To hide the spine of the wire:

• Load the internal sheets onto the wire first, repeating until all are loaded.

• Load the front PVC cover onto the wire element.

• Load the rear cover onto the wire element last.

• It is best to close the wire a little, check, and then close the wire a little more until you are happy with the wire closure.

• If the wire does not close properly, check that the machine has been set to the correct wire size.

6.Maintenance

Please ensure the clippings tray is emptied on a regular basis. This may prevent your machine from overloading.

W20:

When the clippings tray is full, you will see the clear window full of clippings. Empty the contents of the tray to continue binding.

W25E:

When the clippings tray is full, a yellow LED will be lit. Empty the contents of the tray to continue binding.

•This machine has a recommended duty cycle of 5 operations per minute, up to a maximum of 30 minutes on / 30 minutes off.

•This machine is fitted with a thermal overload safety feature. In extreme circumstances, the motor may overheat which will activate the safety feature. This feature will prevent the machine punching until it has cooled sufficiently.

•The thermal overload switch will automatically reset after approximately 15 minutes. The machine will then operate as if it had been overloaded (see step 4 below).
