Welcome to MyBinding video. This is the demo and assembly of the Onyx HD7700. This heavy
duty tabletop punch is the top of the line punch solution for all your binding needs.
Before we get to the assembly, let's watch a demonstration to see just how this machine
works.
First you'll need to set the paper stop according to your project's needs. Twist the dial on
the left side of the machine to fine tune to get it exactly on the line that you need.
With that all set, run a test paper. Slide it into the throat of the machine, all the
way to the left, press down on the Palm switch or the foot pedal. A handy test at this point
is to fold the paper in half, line up the corners, and see if the holes all line up.
It should be centered with no half or missed holes. The solution to half holes is to remove
a pin. All the pins are disengageable on the Rhin-O-Tuff die. Pull the die out, find out
which pin it is that you need to remove, open the carriage, remove the pin, replace the
carriage, and you're all set. Pin removal is the same for all Rhin-O-Tuff dies. It's
very simple, it's very quick. Lock your die back into place and let's punch again and
we'll see how we're doing. This one looks perfect. Do the fold test again and everything
looks great. It's time to begin.
With your project all in order in the way you'd like it to be, process through your
whole project, pack by pack of up to 55 sheets in a single punch. All Rhin-O-Tuff punches
come with the patented auto-reverse feature, keeping paper jams a thing of the past. However,
it can happen if just too many sheets are put in at the same time. Stored on the back
side of the machine is a small handle. This goes in on the left-hand side of the machine
right into the groove; turning it counter clockwise will reverse the pins on the machine,
then you can remove your paper. If you need to, you can peer down just to the left side
of the paper stop and you can actually watch the pins retract to make sure they are all
gone so you can remove your paper. The chip tray in the front is transparent so you can
keep an eye on just how many chips are building up.
That's the demonstration and how-to. And now for the assembly. Once you've removed your
machine from the box, place it on a sturdy table and remove the plastic coating that
protects the transparent cover of the chip tray. Inside the chip tray, you'll find all
the parts of assembly that you'll need. There's oil for lubrication, two handles to lock and
unlock the die, a power cord, a Palm switch, as well as the foot pedal.
The first step is to install the two handles. Remove from the bag and place them on either
side. Screw them tight all the way down. These will service the lock and unlocking of the
punched dies. The Onyx HD7700 comes with a foot pedal that plugs into the back of the
machine and activates the punch. Also included with this machine is the Palm switch; some
prefer it to the foot pedal. It plugs into the same place on the back of the machine
and is activated either by finger or by palm. If you have purchased the optional Versa switch,
now would be a good time to install it. Simply remove the *** from the paper stop and take
the stop itself off. Then replace it with the Versa switch and screw the same *** back
down. This switch plugs into the back of the machine in the same spot for the foot pedal
or the Palm switch.
For the Onyx HD7700, the dies go in on the right-hand side. Place them in, slide it all
the way until the black part is flush with the machine. And then lock both handles on
the right and left. There you go, you're all set. That's the demo and assembly of the Onyx
HD7700. You're on your way to a great many books. For more demos, reviews, and how-tos,
