How to use

Place the stack of paper aligned to the guide and adjust the paper stop if present to set hole position. Press the lever firmly and evenly to punch through the stack; release the lever and remove the punched sheets. For 4-hole punching, reposition the paper or use the unit's built-in selector if applicable to change from 2-hole to 4-hole mode. Empty the waste compartment regularly to maintain consistent punching performance.

Usage recommendations

Use standard office paper at or below the rated thickness to avoid jamming or damaging the punch. Do not exceed the 20-sheet capacity per stroke and clear the waste tray frequently. For heavier stacks, reduce the number of sheets per stroke and make successive punches to ensure clean holes and prolong the tool's service life.
