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.
