General safeguards

•  Please read the instructions and keep them safe for future 

reference.

•  When using the machine, always ensure the machine is on a 

flat and stable surface.

•  Keep out of reach the reach of children at all times.
•  Do not tamper in any way with the internal mechanisms of 

this machine.

•  Do not immerse in liquid.

Setting up

•  Unpack carefully and place the C210 on a flat surface, ideally 

74cm from the floor. When lifting the machine, lift from the 
bottom. Do not carry the machine by the handle.

Edge guide adjustment

• Ensure that the Edge Guide (fig 1) is set to ‘A4’.

Punching the document

1

  Collate the document and insert the edge to be bound into 

the punch throat, maximum 20 sheets at a time. Jog the 
sheets until they are flush against the edge guide and the 
back wall of the punch throat (fig 2, A). 

2

  With the paper resting on the punching platform, pull the 

punch handle towards you (fig 2, B). Then, return the punch 
handle to its original position and remove the paper from 
the punch throat. 

3

  Repeat this operation until the whole document is punched. 

4

  If punching PVC covers, insert no more than two covers at a 

time as this material, in large quantities, could cause jams 
or excessive wear.

Waste tray

•  The waste tray is located under the machine, at the rear. 

Empty the tray on a regular basis, to prevent clogging and 
possible damage. (fig 8)

Comb and cover storage

•  The C210 has built in storage for combs and binding 

covers. Keep them stored in the machine so that you do not 
waste time looking for suitable supplies with which to bind. 
We recommend that you use GBC combs and covers, for 
excellent results.
