What to do if my Fellowes Orion 500 Binding Machine will not punch?
- TTimothy CochranAug 8, 2025
If your Fellowes Binding Machine won't punch, there could be several reasons. First, check if the waste tray is full and empty it. Also, inspect the paper entry for any blockages. Debris stuck below the dies can also prevent punching; try sliding stiff cardboard into the paper entry and moving it sideways to dislodge any clippings into the waste tray. Ensure the sheets are correctly aligned by adjusting the edge guide and testing on scrap sheets. Confirm that the necessary dies are selected for punching by pushing the selector switch down at the front. Finally, you might be overloading the machine; try punching plastic covers with paper sheets or reduce the number of sheets being punched at once.
