Debinding:

1)  To debind the documentation thinner than 16mm (C):
·  Place the wedge as deeply as possible in-between the centre pages of a bound document.
·  When debinding an AA size document, protect the spine of the document (with the wedge inside) with a plastic debinding channel (8).
2)  To debind the documentation thicker than 16mm (C):
·  Put the documentation on the machine.
·  Open the document on the debinding hooks (4) level, so that the wedge (9) could be placed inside the documentation and fitted in the debinding hooks (4) at the same time.
NOTE! When debinding covers sized 28 mm (F) and 32 mm (G), take the bail off the debinding plate before putting the wedge on the hooks.
3)  Fit the ends of the wedge (9) in the debinding hooks (4).
4)  Move the handle (2) to the right and then move the documentation to the left to the ledge, until you meet the resistance.

5)  Press the arm (1) firmly down holding the handle (2) at the same time. Raise the arm (1) up, move the adjusting handle (2) to the right and press the arm (1) down again. Repeat for several time.
6)  Raise the arm (1) up.
7)  Loosen the adjusting handle (2) and remove the document together with the wedge (9), then take the wedge out of the document carefully.
8)  Make the planned changes to the document.
9)  The cover may be re-used (maximum of three times).

2) Put the pages into an even pile, then place the pile into metal channel inside the cover.

3) Put the documentation into the binding slot (3). Then, move the whole documentation to your left, until you meet the resistance.

4) Holding the document this way, move the adjusting handle (2) to the right until the walls of the binding slot (3) touch the documentation.

5) Press the arm (1) of the machine down. Lift the arm (1) up and adjust the slot (3) moving the handle (2) to the right. Press the arm (1) down again. Holding the adjusting handle (2) at the same time.

6) Lift the arm (1). Move the adjusting handle (2) to the left to take out the bound documentation.

Preparation to work:

·  Unpack the machine and install the metal bail (5) on the binding plate (6) (the adequate holes are drilled in the binding plate).

·  Tighten precisely the arm (1) to the machine using allen wrench attached.

·  There are two binding bars A and B and debinding wedge (9) in the shelves at the back of the machine.

·  Device for cover size adjusting (7) is fixed with a magnet on the machine housing.

Binding:

1)  Use device for cover size adjusting (6) to choose the proper cover size.

cover size / number of pages to be bound
5 mm (AA) / soft cover 15 – 40
hard cover 20 -40
10 mm (A) / 41 – 95
13 mm (B) / 96 – 125
16 mm (C) / 126 – 150
20 mm (D) / 151 – 190
24 mm (E) / 191 – 230
28 mm (F) / 231 – 265
32 mm (G) / 266 – 300

Note!

The thickness of the documentation to be bound must be at least 1,8 mm (without the cover). If the documentation is thinner, it is necessary to use the filling strips (available also from OPUS) to make it thick enough. When using the cover size 16 (C) or smaller, you have to put both binding bars A and B into the slot (3) before you start binding the document. When binding documents with larger cover size than 16 mm (C), you should put only one binding bar B into the slot.

The bail (5) can be adjusted to the number of binding bars used during binding. If there is only one binding bar B inside the slot, the bail (5) should be pushed maximally to the front. In case of using both binding bars A and B, the bail (5) must be moved maximally to the back.
