5. Press the appropriate cycle button (Hard Cover or Soft Cover)
6. Cycle time for a thermal soft cover is approximately 30 seconds.
Cycle time for a thermal hard cover is approximately 60 seconds.
Initial warm up is approximately 90 seconds.
7. After the appropriate cycle time has been completed an audible
tone will sound and unit will shut off automatically.
8. Jog document and remove the bound document and place on the
cooling rack for Thermal Soft Covers or in the Hard Cover Crimper

to the cooling rack until it’s completely cool to the touch.
10. Repeat process until all documents are bound.
Binding Tips
JOGGING - Jog each document before placing it in the cover to ensure
all pages have contact with the glue strip. Failure to jog or poor jogging
of the document can produce partial or weak binds.
SPINE GAUGE - Use the spine gauge to measure the thickness of the
document to choose the correct spine size. Do not overstuff. The cover
spine should always be slightly thicker than the document.
MAINTENANCE - It is recommended to occasionally wipe the unit
with a dry cloth and to keep it dust free. The heating plate should also
be kept free from dust and excess glue. To remove excess glue from the
heating plate simply heat unit fully, upon the end of the cycle unplug
the unit and using a dry paper towel, wipe off heating plate.
Careful not to touch the heat plate directly it will be HOT.

Use only as a guide for 20# bond paper. The number of sheets will vary with
the thickness of text paper being bound. The best t will be obtained by
measuring the thickness of the document.
