comb through the holes.

4. When all combs are fully positioned through the holes,

complete.

COIL BINDING
1. Align punched document and place document on top of table. Insert the coil into the first 4 to 5 holes.
2. Hold document evenly and slide hand to drive the coils forward to insert into the holes.
3. Use crimpers to cut & crimp the excess coil. Make sure you crimp-in both ends. This procedure will prevent the
document from unbinding itself.
– Optional, for efficient Coil Binding, use Roll@Coil for electric binding if you have heavy and frequent jobs by
Coils binding.
