FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does “selectable pins” mean, and why do I need them? – Selectable pins allow you to “turn off” specific punching holes. This is essential when binding non-standard paper sizes so you don’t get a half-punched hole at the very edge of your document, ensuring a professional look for A5 or Custom sizes.

2. Can I bind F4 size documents with this machine? – Yes. The S980 is specifically designed for the Malaysian market with 24 holes, making it perfectly suited for F4 (Folio) size paper, which is slightly longer than standard A4.

3. What is the benefit of having two handles? – One handle is dedicated to punching holes, and the other is for opening the plastic comb. Having two handles allows you to leave a comb open while you continue punching the next stack of paper, which saves a significant amount of time.

4. Can this machine bind using wire-o (metal) rings? – No. The iTBOX S980 is a Comb Binding Machine specifically designed for plastic combs and binder strips. Wire-O binding requires a different hole pitch (usually 3:1 or 2:1).

5. Why is the machine so heavy (19.3kg)? – The weight comes from its all-metal industrial construction. This ensures the machine doesn’t tip or “walk” across your desk when you are punching through 25 sheets of paper, providing more leverage and safety.

6. How do I clear a paper jam in the punching slot? – If the handle gets stuck, do not pull the paper out forcefully. Instead, finish the punch stroke completely if possible, or use the handles to slowly cycle the pins. Regularly emptying the high-capacity waste tray will prevent most jams.

7. Does it require any maintenance? – To keep the 24 tempered steel dies sharp, we recommend occasionally punching through a sheet of aluminum foil. You can also apply a tiny drop of machine oil to the handle’s pivot points every few months.
