FAQs

How many sheets can this punch handle at once?

It is rated to punch up to 20 sheets of standard 80gsm paper.

Does it work with different paper sizes?

Yes, the integrated paper size guide is adjustable to accommodate various document formats.

How do I empty the paper cuttings?

The base features an integrated paper tray that can be pulled out or emptied from the bottom to discard cuttings.

Is this product suitable for cardstock?

This model is designed for standard paper. Punching cardstock may reduce the number of sheets possible and could potentially dull the blades faster.

What should I do if the paper gets jammed inside?

Carefully remove the jammed paper with tweezers or a small tool, and ensure the waste tray is clear before attempting to punch again.

Troubleshooting

Punching mechanism feels stuck or difficult to press

Check the paper tray and ensure it is not overfilled with paper scraps, which can obstruct the cutters.

Holes are not aligned correctly

Ensure the paper guide is locked in the correct position and that the paper is flush against the back stop before punching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sturdy metal construction offers long-term reliability
  • Adjustable guide ensures consistent hole alignment
  • Compact footprint fits easily on crowded desks
  • Lightweight yet durable plastic casing

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-duty cardstock or plastic sheets
  • Capacity is limited to 20 sheets maximum
  • Paper tray requires manual emptying to prevent jams

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your punch, simply place it on a flat, stable surface. Use the integrated guide at the back of the base to set the desired margin. For care, it is recommended to empty the chip tray regularly to prevent debris from accumulating and potentially clogging the punching mechanism. If the punch begins to feel stiff, ensure the paper tray is not overflowing. Avoid punching metal staples, as this will dull the cutters and potentially damage the metal chassis.
