Guide for Using the Cinch as a Planner Hole Puncher

TIPS WHEN USING THE CINCH BINDING MACHINE:

Apply a strip of washi tape across the Base and the Sliding Guide to prevent accidentally nudging the Sliding Guide as you punch stacks after stacks. My personal favorite washi tape is by Scotch.

Do a double punch. After each punch, lift the handle at least half-way and press down the punch again to release any remnant circles that might still be stuck to the dies. Doing this will help fully deposit the circles into the bottom tray and also prevent the the circles from being lifted to the top only to get stuck in the back of the slot. You want to always keep the slot clear of any debris and scraps so that when you insert your papers they will align flushed to the back and not lay crooked.
