Position 1: 1/8" to 1/2" (3.2 to 12.7 mm)

A unique feature of the Fellowes Binding Machine allows you to punch various size documents by using the

disengagable punching dies.

1.Set the machine to document size using the above chart. Disengage, or pull up metal pins for unwanted holes. It is recommended that you disengage from the right side of the machine allowing you to use the ruler by the margin guide.

2.Holes should always be centered between the top and bottom of paper edge. To center hole, set the adjustable margin guide for oversized covers (8-3/4”x11-1/4” • 222mm x 285mm), letter size documents (8-1/2”x11” • 216mm x 279mm), or legal size documents (8-1/2”x14” • 216mm x 357mm). For optimum results, first use several “practice sheets” to set up margin guide position.

3.Insert all sheets into the punching area. NOTE: a maximum of 20 sheets can be punched at a time.

4.Lower the handle to punch holes in paper.

5.Return handle to its original vertical position and remove sheets.

6.Repeat until all sheets and covers have been punched.

2.Read the corresponding comb size from the center of the adjustable comb guide selector.

3.Raise adjustable comb guide selector to release entire document.

Setting the Binding Lock Dial

(PB 400/500 Only)

The PB 400/500 is equipped with a unique binding lock which is useful when multiple documents with the same comb diameter need to be bound. To use:

2.To open comb, pull the binding handle toward self.

3.Insert the punched sheets into the open comb. (For a correctly bound presentation, the first page of your document should be the first one placed onto the comb).

4.To close comb, return the binding handle to its original vertical starting position, away from self.

5.To remove bound document lift upward.

Emptying Paper Clippings
