Fellowes WB 150 manual Now you are ready to start binding

•Adjust centering of document, if necessary. Your machine is factory-set to punch holes in the document size(s) most common to your geographic region, but if your sheets are some- what larger or smaller, you may need to adjust the centering. Put in a sheet of scrap paper of

the same size and punch it, following the standard punching procedure. If the row of holes is not centered along the document edge, turn the document wheel ) a little in one direction or the other to move the edge guide to a better position and retest. (Note: Although a range of document sizes is marked on your machine, yours will punch only the size(s) of your par- ticular region.)

Now you are ready to start binding:

•Attach wire by its larger loops to the hooks & near the back of the machine, making sure the opening is facing up.

•Punch and insert covers. Following the standard punching procedure, punch both back and front covers. First insert the back cover face up onto the smaller loops of the wire, then the front cover face down, allowing both to hang down behind the machine. (The back cover comes first so that the wire opening will be hidden.)

•Punch and insert sheets in batches of no more than 15 pages, your machine’s punching c a p a c i t y, using the same procedure and insert them face down into the wire. Repeat punch- ing and inserting, as necessary, until all pages are in the wire and hanging from the back of the machine. Return the bar to a horizontal position to give yourself full access to the docu- m e n t .

•Remove document from hooks. To do this, take hold of the complete document, one hand on each side, and lift it on its axis to a horizontal position but not farther. (Raising it beyond this will lead the doc- ument back out of the small loops.) In this position, draw the document firmly toward you, which will disengage the wire from the hooks.

•Press wire. Raise the bar to open the wire press

e n t r y. Guide the document, wire edge first, into the entry until it makes contact with the plate at the bottom. Holding the document upright with one hand, lower the bar with gentle, steady

pressure until the arrow printed on the top left side of the machine matches with your wire size in the window '.

•Raise the bar and remove the bound document from the entry. If the wire did not close

c o m p l e t e l y, put the document back in and try lowering the bar a little further.

If your machine should jam during punching, don’t tear out the paper in an effort to clear it. This will clog the cutting area and most likely necessitate a repair. Instead, raise the bar back up and lower it with as much strength as you can, repeating this until you have cut through all of the sheets.
