The number of sheets will vary with the thickness of text paper being bound. The best fi t will be obtained by measuring the thickness of the document. 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. 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. Be careful not to touch the heat plate directly it will be HOT.
