Safety Alert Symbols Make sure you read this section very carefully! Learn to recognize these Safety Alert Symbols. The HD8000 and HD8024 have been designed to provide a high level of protection to an operator. Follow the guidelines below while installing, operating and maintaining your machine. u ! Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in CAUTION CAUTION: minor or moderate injury. It may also be used without the safety alert symbol as an alternative to "Notice".
HD8000 Setup: The HD8000 comes with the handle attached to the right side of the machine. The handle can be removed and re-attached with the handle facing away from the machine or it can be attached to the left side of the machine to suit operator needs. If the handle is changed from its original position make sure to retighten the handle bolt securely to ensure proper operation of the handle. The HD8000 has a reversible top closing plate. To reverse the plate, remove the three small knobs (Fig.
Select Wire: Refer to chart on page 8 and choose the correct wire size. Insert the narrow wire loop into the book starting from either the left or right side of the book using a slight rotating action. Rotate the entire wire forward into the book so that the seam of the wire is on top ①. Firmly grab the entire book ② and flip it forward and upside down ③ so the wire faces the closer bar of the machine ④.
Setting the closer bar height: The closing bar is adjustable on each end allowing the operator to achieve a uniform close at each end of the book. Pull the handle on the closer all the way down and keep held down as you adjust both knobs ⑤ so the top edge of the closing bar ⑥ lines up on the decal marks ⑦ with the wire size you have chosen.
Closing the Wire: Return handle to the full upright position, place the book so the open mouth of the wire is firmly pressed against the back plate ① inside the closing machine. The narrow, open loop of the wire ② should be on top of the book while pushing against the back plate ①, with the wire seam on the bottom. Apply enough pressure on the book so that the wire stays in contact with the back of the machine as you pull the handle down to the position set in the previous section.
