3. CLOSING OF WIRE-O
®
. ON YOUR MACHINE 24
13.1
With one hand, place a book with its inserted WIRE-O® into the binding section of the unit
(between the fixed side and adjustable closing bar so that the open ends of the WIRE-O® element are
resting squarely on the platform).
13.2
Lightly press the book down so that it stays in position.
13.3
Press the foot pedal to achieve a cycle.
13.4
If the machine jams, set the rocker switch in the backward position and press the foot pedal
once to allow the closing bar to come back to its high position.
13.5
Withdraw the bound book and check that the WIRE-O® has been closed correctly, ie when the
narrow loop just enters the space between the adjacent broad loops, so that neither the cover
nor sheets can drop out.
13.6
Should the WIRE-O® be over or underclosed, then simply reset the adjusting gauges to
compensate accordingly.
Good close
Bad close
13.7
The adjustable closing bar is supplied with a little press to maintain the sheets. If you do not
use the right size of Wire-O® (diameter too small for the width of the book), the closing bar will not
operate.
Over closed
