Recommended materials for punching

Paper – The unit is designed for a maximum of 28 sheets of 80 g/m^2 paper to be punched at the same time (standard copying paper). When using thinner paper, more sheets can be punched at the same time. When using thicker paper, fewer sheets can be punched at the same time.

Transparent film (front covers) – You can punch at the same time up to two transparent films with a thickness of 0.2 mm each. Do not punch them together with paper or cardboard. Punch films individually.

Cardboard (rear covers) – Punch sheets of cardboard individually. Do not punch them together with your document sheets or transparent films.

Safety precautions

Intended use

- This unit has been designed for punching paper, cardboard and plastic films as well as binding such materials using plastic combs. Use the unit only for its intended use as described in these operating instructions.

To protect against electric shock:

• Make sure that your local mains voltage matches the rating indicated on the unit's type plate.
• Only connect to a properly earthed mains socket.
• Never operate the unit when mains outlet, wire or plug are defective.
• Protect the mains wire from being walked on or pinched, particularly at the plug and at the point where it exits from the unit.
• Protect unit from high humidity, water and other liquids.
• Unplug unit from mains socket when not in use and before cleaning.
• In case of defects: Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Contact the manufacturer for any required repairs. Read guarantee declaration for further information.

General precautions

• Place the unit on a flat, stable surface (e. g. table).
• Keep unit away from children – risk of injury.
• To prevent damage to the unit, remove all metal parts (staples etc.) from the document before punching and empty the cuttings tray regularly.
• Never use attachments not authorised by the manufacturer.
• Only use original Leitz accessories.

Unpacking and installing the unit

1. Unpacking / scope of supply

- Carefully unpack the unit and inspect it for damage.

Warning! Risk of electrical shock. Do not connect to the mains supply if there is any damage to the unit (loose parts, broken chassis, defective or wrong mains cable etc.) or if the local mains voltage does not match the rating indicated on the type plate.

• The packaging should contain the following items:
- the comBIND 500e,
- a starter set (choice of plastic combs and front/rear covers),
- this operation manual.
- Keep the packaging material at least until the guarantee has expired.

2. Installing and connecting the unit

• Place the unit on a stable, level surface (e. g. table) near a mains outlet.
• Connect the mains cable Ⓐ with the mains outlet in a way to avoid accidents (such as tripping over the cable).
• Fold back the lid (paper stand) Ⓓ.
• Press the power switch Ⓑ to switch the unit on.

The punching dies were coated with protecting oil during manufacture.

- Punch several sheets of scrap paper in order to clean the punching dies.

The unit is now ready for operation.

Punching and binding with plastic combs

1. Preparations

• Set the paper stop Ⓔ to the paper format used.
• Determine the comb size needed by holding the document (including front and rear cover) in position on the comb size scale Ⓔ.
  You may also use the table on page 5 for this purpose.
• Set the punching depth Ⓗ according to the comb size determined.

2. Inserting and opening the comb

• Place the plastic comb with the side to be opened facing upwards into the binding mechanism Ⓙ.
• Pull the binding lever Ⓛ so far until the comb is opened enough so that the sheets can be easily inserted.

3. Punching the sheets

Tip: We recommend testing the punch setting using a blank sheet of paper before punching the original document.

Caution! To prevent damage to the motor and punching mechanism, remove all metal parts (staples etc.) from the document before punching. Do not punch more than 28 sheets of 80g / m^2 paper or two films of 0.2mm at the same time. Empty the cuttings tray M regularly.

• Insert the sheets into the rear slot Ⓖ.
• Press the punching button Ⓘ.
• Remove the punched sheets.

4. Inserting the sheets

- Insert the punched sheets into the opened comb. It is now possible to punch all remaining sheets (step 3) and insert them into the opened comb.

5. Removing the finished document

• Push the binding lever Ⓛ backwards to close the comb.
• Remove the finished document.

Two-hole punching

- Set the paper stop to the paper format used.

Caution! To prevent damage to the motor and punching mechanism, do not punch more than 28 sheets of 80g / m^2 paper or two films of 0.2mm at the same time. Also, empty the cuttings tray regularly.

• Insert the sheets into the front slot Ⓕ.
• Press the punching button ①.
• Remove the punched sheets.

Troubleshooting

Problem Remedy
Pages of bound document do not turn with ease.	Set the punching depth Ⓗ according to the comb size used.
You hear an alarm sound from the unit.	Empty the cuttings tray Ⓜ immediately to prevent damage to the motor and punching mechanism.
No response when pressing the punching button.	Is the cuttings tray Ⓜ full? Is the unit properly connected to a live mains socket and switched on Ⓑ? Is the fuse Ⓒ blown? If yes, go to next step.
The fuse Ⓓ is blown.	Replace fuse with same type and rating. If new fuse blows again, have the unit repaired by the manufacturer. Never attempt to operate the unit with a fuse other than specified.

Maintenance and care

• To prevent damage to the punching mechanism, empty the cuttings tray Ⓜ regularly.
- In case of defects: Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Contact the manufacturer for any required repairs. Read guarantee declaration for further information.
• To clean the housing, unplug the unit and wipe the outside with a damp cloth. Do not use any chemicals for cleaning.
