Getting started
Welcome
Sorting the Paper
Thank you for choosing the GBC® C340 or C450E Binding System. For large documents, use the document separator.
We aim to produce quality binding machines with features that
enable your to create excellent results every time. Before using
it for the first time, please take a few minutes to read this guide.
We hope this enables you to bind documents easily. For other
Place the stack of paper to be punched on the top shelf against
the opened top cover lid.
Push the separator into the stack of paper and push down on the
lever. This will lift an appropriate stack of 25 sheets maximum
for easy punching (Fig. 3).
Continue this procedure until all of the paper is punched.
Safety Tips
In order to avoid overloading, this machine can punch a maximum
of 25 sheets at one time.
Punching the Paper
For the C340, always make sure that the punch handle is in the
upright position before centering the paper.
Load the first paper stack into the punch slot.
Center the paper using the dial located at the front of the
machine.
Do not punch metal objects such as staples or paper clips.
Empty the waste tray regularly.
Make sure the machine is operated on a flat stable surface.
Never lift the machine by the punching handle (Fig.1). Always use
the hand grips located on the side of the machine (Fig.2).
Lower the raised handle until the paper is punched, and support
the machine when lifting the handle to the upright position
(Fig.4-A).
Safety Tips for the GBC C450E Only
Do not block air intakes and outlets.
For electric punching with the C450E:
Load the first paper stack into the punch slot.
Center the paper using the dial located at the front of the
machine.
Press the punch button located on the right panel of the machine
(Fig.4-B).
Do not use the machine if the power cord is damaged.
Do not place the power cord where it may be tripped over or
pulled. Make sure that it does not come into contact with hot
surfaces such as pipes or radiators. Make sure the cable is not
crushed or pinched.
Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary.
Do not leave the C450E connected to the electrical outlet when
not in use.
NOTE: If the machine is overloaded and fails to complete the punch
cycle, the red LED will light. Press the punch button to cancel the
red LED. If this does not work, contact service at (800) 989-4923.
(In Canada: (800) 268-3447)
Do not immerse the C450E in water or other liquids. Doing so
will result in electric shock.
Do not attempt to disassemble the C450E.

by the internal sheets and back cover.
Turn on using the ON / OFF switch located at the rear of the
C450E.
To edit your document, additional sheets may be included or
removed by placing your document, spine open side up, onto the
metal teeth and follow the binding instructions again.
Wait while the C450E goes through an automatic check procedure
and both LEDs light up before using. When complete, the green
LED will remain On, and the C450E is ready for operation.
WARNING: The C450E must be grounded. If in doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
Maintenance
Make sure that the waste tray is emptied on a regular basis to
prevent your machine from overloading (Fig.6).
Troubleshooting C450E
This machine is designed to finish 5 bound documents per minute,
up to a maximum of operating for 30 minutes on and for 30
minutes off.
This machine has a thermal overload safety feature. If the motor
overheats, this safety feature activates and will prevent the
machine from punching until it has cooled sufficiently.
The thermal overload switch will automatically reset after
approximately 15 minutes of rest.
Selecting the CombBind® Spine Size
Lift the lid and punch handle to the upright position. Place entire
document so it rests on the lid. Check the CombBind® spine size
needed by using the paper thickness guide.
