How to Operate a Fixed Die Modular Comb Punch in Six Steps
Overview
If you've outgrown a combo binding machine but don’t need multiple hole patterns, a fixed die modular binding punch is perfect for higher volume tasks, especially when paired with a standalone finisher. Here’s a simple guide to using a modular comb punch effectively.
Determine Your Hole Count
Before you begin, decide how many holes you need based on the side of your document:
- 11" edge = 19 holes
- 8.5" edge = 15 holes
Steps to Use a Modular Comb Punch
1. Adjust the Die Pins:
- Lift the Selector Pin Lid.
- Pull up the die pins to deactivate any you don’t want to use.
2. Set the Punch Depth:
- Use the Depth-of-Punch Lever on the left side to adjust based on the comb element’s diameter.
- Ensure margins are set correctly for smooth page turning and to prevent tearing.
3. Prepare Your Paper:
- Insert a test lift of paper or covers into the Punch Throat.
- Ensure the sheets are flush against the Edge Guide and secure them with one hand.
4. Punch the Paper:
- Press the Punch Button or use the Foot Pedal to punch the holes.
5. Check Alignment:
- Fold a punched sheet in half to verify hole alignment. If aligned, proceed with punching the rest of the document.
6. Clean Up:
- After completing your punching, lift the front lid, remove the chip tray, and discard the debris.
Additional Notes on Comb Binding
Comb binding often uses oversize covers (11-1/4" x 8-3/4"), which provides extra margins to prevent dog-earing and ensure a neat appearance. For these covers:
- Reset the Edge Guide to center the holes.
- First, punch all your paper, then adjust for and punch the covers.
For Wire Binding and Coil Binding, the same steps (1-5) apply without needing to adjust the Edge Guide, as the covers are flush with the paper.
By following these steps, you can efficiently use your modular comb punch to produce professional-looking documents.
