For your convenience, these punches are
pre-supplied with 1 set of punching cutters

issues following the use of inferior spare boards
and cutters.
Punching the Paper (FIG. B)

firmly against the back wall of the punch.
4. Adjust the paper guides securely against the
edge of the paper.
5. Press handle downward to punch ensuring
that the punching cutters are completely
through to the punch boards.
6. Once punching is complete the handle
should be lifted to remove the paper.
Function of the Paper Stop (FIG. C)
(a) For standard 3-hole punching make sure
both paper stops are in up position. The
paper stop also fits paper widths from
247mm to 315mm.
(b) If the paper size is greater than (US) B, push
the paper stop to the down position so it is
not in use. Fold the top piece of your paper
in the centre to get the centre line before
punching your stack of paper.

damage will occur to the punch.
