How to Make a Calendar with Wire-O

What You Will Need:

1) A Wire-O Binding Machine with Thumb-Cut Punching Die.
2) HD8000 Horizontal Wire Closer
3) Wire Hangers
4) Wire-O Binding Supplies
5) Your Custom Printed Sheets
6) Wire Cutters

How to Make Your Wire-O Calendar:

• STEP 1: Position the paper guide on your binding machine based on your desired paper size. Gather your printed sheets and insert the allotted amount of paper into the opening. When the paper is fully inserter, slide the stack to the left until it makes contact with the paper guide. To make sure all of the edges of the sheets are flush, tap the right and top of the stack. Press the foot pedal to punch the sheets.
• STEP 2: Arrange your sheets in the desired order. Flip the back cover so that it is on the front of the arrangement. The inside of your back cover should now be the first sheet in your arrangement. You will see in later steps that this will hide the wire spine, making the appearance more professional.
• STEP 3: Cut and remove the center two loops of your Wire-O binding spine using your wire cutters, creating two pieces of wire. This creates a gap that is necessary for the wire hanger to be inserted.
• STEP 4: Insert the two pieces of wire into your punched paper. Center the wire hanger inside the wire spine, making sure that the wire hanger loop is placed in the gab of the paper and wire.
• STEP 5: Set your Horizontal Wire Closer to the appropriate Wire-O size that you are using. Carefully place your paper on the wire closer table, with the open portion of the wire pressed against the back of the wire closer. Pull the wire closer handle to close and secure the wire around you calendar.
• STEP 6: Flip the top sheet (your back cover) to the back of the calendar to hide the spine and see your completed calendar.
