  If the coil isn't spinning into the punched holes on your Rhin-O-Tuff Binding Machine, try these steps: * Ensure the machine is powered on and the coil roller switch is turned ‘ON’ (the green LED should be lit). If the light is off, press the Coil Roller Switch button above the LED panel. * Make sure the power cord is plugged into a working wall outlet. * Tap the edge of your document to align the holes evenly. * Use the front Crimper Tray to shape the book to match the coil's contour. * Confirm the coil touches both rollers (top and bottom) by gently touching the coil where the rollers meet.

  If your Rhin-O-Tuff Binding Machine isn't punching cleanly or completely through the paper, consider the following: * Reduce the number of sheets you're punching at once. Try removing 5 sheets from your document and punching again. * Stick to the recommended sheet capacity: a maximum of 20 sheets of 20lb bond (75 gsm) paper or 2 sheets of plastic/cover material. * If you're using thicker media, decrease the number of sheets punched per lift.
