How to use

For best results, load documents evenly and avoid overfilling beyond the specified capacity.

Usage recommendations

Store the binder upright on a shelf and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve colour and material integrity. Regularly check the mechanism for debris and wipe the PP cover with a soft, damp cloth when necessary. Replace spine labels to keep contents clearly identified, and do not exceed the recommended sheet capacity to maintain mechanism performance.
