2 Insert and open the comb (see fig 12)

•Place the plastic comb with the open side facing upwards into the comb holder.

•Press the binding lever downwards so that the comb opens fully and the material to be bound can be inserted easily.

Note (MB320 only): Many Identical documents can be bound quickly by setting the machine to remember the exact position you opened the comb to. To do this simply slide the comb opening button upwards until it stops. The comb can now not open any further than your setting. (see fig 13)

3 Load the punched paper onto the comb (see fig 14)

•Load each punched paper stack onto the comb. 4 Close the comb (see fig 15)

•Move the binding lever back to its uppermost position.

•Remove your bound document from the unit.

How to bind using 21 loop wires (MB 320 only)

•Hold the material to be bound in the wire binding channel

•Press the binding lever downwards and read off the required wire size from the left and scale of the pressure bar.

2 Insert the wire (see fig 17)

•Insert the wire with the open side facing front into the wire holder.

3 Insert the document onto the wire (see fig 18)

•Load each punched paper stack onto the wire.

•Remove the document with the wire from the wire holder. 4 Closing the wire (see fig 19)

•Slide the button downwards. (see fig 13)

•Using your left hand, hold the document in the binding channel in such a way that the wire stops with the open end facing down.

•With your right hand press the binding lever down as far as is necessary until the wire is perfectly closed.

Note: Many Identical documents can be bound quickly by setting the machine to remember the exact position you closed the wire to. To do this simply slide the wire closing button upwards until it stops. The wire can now not close any further than your setting. (see fig 13)
