Product Description

Akiles CoilMac ECI Series Set-Up

1. Use Coil Size Guide to determine the correct Depth Margin and Coil Diameter. (See Picture 1)
2. To adjust the correct Punching Margin, press and rotate the Depth Margin Control. (See Picture 2)
3. (OPTIONAL) You may use the Coil Diameter Selector to determine or double check that you are using the correct coil diameter for your document. (See Picture 3)
4. (HINT) To properly adjust the depth margin, press and rotate the Depth Margin Control at the same time. Release it upon reaching the desired position. The Depth Margin Control button must bounce-back upon release. If it does not bounce-back, rotate it slightly back and forth until it does so. (See Picture 4)

Akiles CoilMac ECI Series Punching

1. Use the Punch Throat Ruler and Side Margin Control to center the punching of your document. (See Picture 1 & 2) Hint: Insert a sheet and make sure you disengage any hole that is left partially exposed on the Punch Throat Ruler. Failing to do so will leave a partially perforated hole at the edge of your document.
   For CoilMac-ECI41 models: Various disengageable pins can be found at strategically designed positions to avoid partially perforated holes in most common sheet sizes (such as 11”, 8-12”, 14”, A4 & A5, etc).
   For CoilMac-ECI41+ model: Full disengageable pins guarantees a clean punch on any standard of custom size sheets. Also, specially designed 0.2475” Pitch gives you 44 evenly centered holes in a 11” sheet, which results in adequate hole to edge-of-sheet margins and easier coil insertion.
2. Insert sheets and pull handle toward you to punch. (See Picture 3)

For Punching Document 14” (356MM) or Larger

1. Align sheets as indicated on Punch Throat Ruler. Make sure all Die Disengagement Pins are pushed in.
2. Insert sheets and pull handle forward to punch. (See Picture 1)
3. Remove sheets and flip them over as illustrated. (See Picture 2)
4. Insert sheet from right-hand side. Pull the handle forward and punch. (See Picture 3)

IMPORTANT: Document must be inserted in such a way as to place one of the already perforated holes onto the Continuous Punch Guide. Make sure that the last hole (Document edge), if partially covered by the Punch Throat & Ruler, is aligned to a disengaged die, otherwise your document will be left partially perforated.

Akiles CoilMac ECI Series Coil Inserting (Binding)

1. Align punched document and place it on top of machine or table. Insert the coil into the first 4 to 5 holes. (See Picture 1)
2. Hold document evenly against roller (coil must slightly touch the roller). (See Picture 2)
3. Press foot pedal. The coil will automatically move forward inserting itself into the holes. (See Picture 2)
4. After the last hole insertion, IMMEDIATELY move document away from roller and/or stop pressing the foot pedal. Remark: if coil is over inserted or some pages are un-inserted, simply flip document over and proceed with insertion as per step 2.
5. Use crimpers to cut & crimp the excess coil. Make sure you crimp-in both ends. This procedure will prevent the document from unbinding itself. (See Picture 3)
