The breaker switch is at the left rear corner of the machine. The breaker switch should be tested at installation, and then inspected, cleaned, and tested at least once a year after that.

  • After prolonged use, if you see the breaker switch covered with soot, this could indicate that the switch has malfunctioned or been damaged.
  • To prevent damage to the breaker switch, installation of a voltage stabilizer (constant voltage transformer) is recommended for work sites where there is significant fluctuation in the AC power source.

 

  • The Ring Binder and Perfect Binder also have breaker switches. These breaker switches should also be tested at installation, and then inspected, cleaned, and tested at least once a year.

  1. Confirm that the main machine is connected to its power source.

  2. If the machine is on, press the operation power switch [A] and turn it off.

    Do not touch the main power switch [B] behind the left front door. This switch must remain in the on position for the breaker switch test.

  3. To test the breaker switch:
    • [1] is the normal position of the breaker switch test button.
    • Use the tip of a small screwdriver or pen to push the breaker test button. The breaker switch should flip to the "O" position [2]. This indicates that the breaker switch is operating normally.
    • If the breaker switch does not flip to the "O" position, the switch must be replaced.
    • Push the switch up to the "|" position [3] for normal operation.

  • The main machine will not turn on if the breaker switch is not returned to the "|" position as shown at [1].
