The RENZ SRW 360 Comfort wire binding machine is a 3:1 pitch wire binder that features a heavy-duty electric punch to provide increased productivity for high-volume binding environments. The SRW 360 features a high-capacity, 22-page punch and fully-disengageable punching dies, allowing it to accommodate a variety of document sizes with ease. Below is a step-by-step guide to binding books with the SRW 360 Comfort wire binder:

1. If you will be using your SRW 360 Comfort for the first time, start by punching a sheet of scrap paper to remove any residue on the dies. Insert the paper into the punching throat and engage the punch using the foot pedal. Remove the paper from the punch and discard.
2. Use the measuring scale located to the rear of the machine to determine the appropriate wire diameter. Stack the pages of your unbound book, and place them next to the scale. The line that corresponds to the top edge of your book will indicate the recommended binding wire size based on the total thickness of your document.
3. Adjust the closing diameter of the wire closer so that it matches the size of the wire that will be used. The closing diameter is set by the sliding knob on top of the closer – simply loosen the knob, move it to the desired position, and re-tighten the knob to lock in the adjustment.
4. Set the punching depth using the four-position knob. The greater the depth margin, the larger the amount of space between the edge of the paper and the punched holes.
5. Use the side margin guide to center your document within the punching throat. The side margin guide is adjusted by loosening the attachment screw, sliding it into position, and tightening the screw to prevent it from shifting.
6. Disengage any punching dies as necessary in order to eliminate partially-punched holes along the ends of your sheet. Dies can be disengaged by pulling upward on the corresponding arm until it stops. To re-engage a die that had been previously deactivated, push it back into the machine until it stops.
7. Position the closing rail based on the diameter of the wire that will be used. The closing rail has two positions – one accommodates wires from 3/16″ – 1″ and the other is used with binding wires from 1-1/8″ to 1-1/2″. To adjust the closing rail, press the buttons located on each side of the rail and then flip the rail 180 degrees.
8. Place the wire binding spine into the wire holder, which is located on the front of the machine. The wire holder will keep the wire steady so that you can insert the pages of your book as they are punched.
9. Arrange the pages of your document in order from front to back, then place the back cover on top of the front cover so that they are facing one another. Turn the stack upside down so that the covers are at the bottom.
10. Insert up to 22 pages (based on 20 lb. paper) into the punching throat, aligning them against the side margin guide. Note: If you are punching thicker paper or cover stock, you will need to reduce the number of pages that you insert into the punch to prevent jamming the machine.
11. Press the foot pedal to activate the punching motor and punch through the inserted sheets.
12. Remove the punched pages from the throat and place them onto the twin-loop binding wire.
13. Repeat steps 10 – 12 until all pages have been punched and inserted onto the wire. The covers should the punched last and inserted onto the top of the stack, as this will help to hide the seam of the wire after binding.
14. Lift the wire off of the wire holder and set it into the wire closer. The open side of the wire should be flush against the back of the closer.
15. Pull the wire closer handle forward to clamp the wire shut. The closer will automatically stop based on the closing diameter that was set during step 3, which helps prevent over- or under-closing your wires. Return the handle to its upright position to open the closer, then pull your book out.
16. Flip the back cover from the front of the book to the rear to complete your binding project.

The RENZ SRW 360 wire binding machine is a 3:1 pitch wire binder that offers heavy-duty manual binding and punching capabilities that are well-suited for use in offices and schools. The SRW 360 uses twin-loop binding wire to create books that are tamper-resistant and durable, making it an ideal choice for binding frequently-used documents like training manuals, catalogs, price lists, and more. Below is a step-by-step guide to binding books with the RENZ SRW 360 wire binder:

1. If this is the first time that your SRW 360 will be used, it is recommended that you punch a sheet of scrap paper in order to remove manufacturing residue. Insert a page into the punching throat, pull the rear handle forward to punch through the sheet, then push the handle back to lift the punching dies. Remove the scrap sheet and discard it.
2. Stack the pages of your document together and set them against the measuring scale located toward the back of the machine. The indicated measurement corresponds to the diameter of the binding wire that should be used.
3. Set the wire closer to match the binding wire diameter. The closing diameter is adjusted using the sliding knob located on the top of the machine. Loosen the knob, slide until the knob is aligned to the desired diameter, and tighten the knob to lock it in place.
4. Adjust the depth margin based on the thickness of your document. The thicker the book, the greater the punch margin that should be used. The SRW 360 has a four-position adjustable depth margin, which can be set by turning the punching margin knob.
5. Position the paper guide to match the paper size of your document. Loosen the screw on the rear of the guide, slide it until it matches the length of the binding edge of your paper, and re-tighten the screw.
6. Use the fully-disengageable punching dies to eliminate any holes that will be partially-punched on the edges of your sheet. Dies can be disengaged by pulling the corresponding pins straight up until they stop. If you need to re-engage a die, simply push the extended pin back into the machine.
7. Adjust the wire closer rail to match the size of the wire binding spine. The closing rail has two positions – a setting for use with 3/16″ – 1″ wire diameters and another for wires from 1-1/8″ to 1-1/2″. To adjust the closing rail, push the buttons on both sides of the rail and rotate the bar 180 degrees.
8. Place a wire binding element onto the wire holder at the front of the machine. The wire holder keeps your wire steady so that you can easily insert the pages of your book onto it as they are punched.
9. Organize the pages of your book so that the back cover is on top of the front cover and they are facing one another. Turn the book over so that the covers are at the bottom of the stack.
10. Insert up to 22 pages (based on 20 lb paper) into the punching throat. Align the sheets to the paper guide on the right side of the punch. Note: When puching thicker paper, you will need to reduce the number of pages that you insert in order to avoid overloading the machine. Covers should be punched separately from the inner pages to ensure a clean punch.
11. Pull the punching handle (located at the rear of the machine) forward to punch through the inserted pages, then return it to its starting position to complete the punch. Remove the sheets from the punch and place them onto the binding wire.
12. Continue punching the pages of your book in sets of up to 22 sheets until all sheets are punched and inserted onto the binding wire.
13. Lift the binding wire off of the wire holder and set it into the wire closer. The open side of the wire should be flush against the back of the closer.
14. Pull the closer handle (located toward the front of the machine) forward to activate the wire closer. The wire closer will stop automatically based on the diameter that was set in step 3. Push the handle back to its upright position to open the closer.
15. Pull the book out of the closer and flip the back cover around to the rear of the book. This will conceal the seam of the binding spine within the inner pages of the book and provide a more polished and professional look to your document.

The Renz ECO E 2:1 wire binding machine uses a heavy-duty electric punch to make document binding a breeze. It has a robust, 25-page punch capacity, and features a built-in, adjustable wire closer that helps to take the guess-work out of finishing. Below is an overview of how to bind with the Renz ECO E electric wire binder:

1. Use the measuring scale on the machine to determine the appropriate wire size for your document. Place the back edge of your document against the measuring scale, and use the indicator lines to find the correct wire diameter.
2. Adjust the diameter selector by first releasing the attachment screw. Then move the knob to the measurement that corresponds to your spine diameter and tighten the attachment screw to complete the adjustment.
3. Use the depth margin adjustment knob to set the proper distance between the punched holes and the edge of the paper. Thicker documents will require a larger depth margin to make the pages easier to turn. Turn the knob so that the indicator corresponds with the diameter of the binding wire you are using.
4. Disengage pins as necessary to tailor the punch pattern to your document. The Renz ECO E 2:1 wire binding machine has 26 disengageable pins, so it can be used to bind a wide variety of document sizes, including specialty paper and European sizes. To disengage a punching die, simply pull the corresponding pin straight out until it locks.
5. Insert the wire binding spine into the wire clamp. Press down on the back edge of the wire clamp to open it, and place the end of the wire under the front edge. Lower the clamp to secure the wire in place vertically. Note: The small loops of the binding wire should be on top, facing the rear of the machine.
6. Arrange your document so that the back cover is in front, with the front cover immediately behind it. The inside of the back cover should be facing outward, with the faces of the front and back cover together. This will keep the seam of the spine hidden inside of the book, resulting in a more professional finish.
7. Jog the book using either a paper jogger or by tapping the sheets against a flat surface to align the edges. Set the book onto your work surface so that the covers are at the bottom of the stack.
8. Adjust the side margin guide based on your document size.
9. Begin punching your documents in sets of 15-20 pages. The Renz ECO E binding machine has a maximum punch capacity of 25 pages (based on regular 20 lb. paper; thicker papers and cover stock will reduce the capacity), but it is recommended that you punch only 15-20 pages at a time for optimum performance. After inserting your sheets into the punching throat and aligning them with the side margin, press the foot pedal to activate the electric punch.
10. After the each set has been punched, insert it onto the binding wire that is held in place by the clamp. Repeat as necessary until all pages have been punched and inserted onto the wire.
11. Press the back of the wire clamp to release the document, and carefully remove the book from the clamp so that the pages do not slide off of the wire.
12. Place the wire into the wire closer so that the open side of the wire is placed directly against the back of the closer.
13. Pull the binding lever forward until it stops, and then return it to its original position. Larger wires will require more pressure to close than smaller wires. Note: A properly closed wire will have the two ends of the spine meeting in the middle, with no large gaps or overlap. If there is a gap between the ends of the loops, move the diameter selector slightly to the left and pull the binding lever again. If the wire ends are overlapping, move the diameter selector slightly to the right before binding your next document.
14. Remove the book from the wire closer, and turn the back cover over to finish the book.
