FAQs
Are these compatible with A4 documents?

Can I cut the combs if my document is smaller than A4?
Yes, you can trim the combs to size using sturdy scissors or wire cutters if you are binding smaller booklets or index cards.
Troubleshooting
Pages are tearing at the holes
The document is likely too thick for the 10mm comb; remove a few sheets or use a larger diameter comb.
Comb will not close properly
Ensure the binding machine teeth are aligned correctly with the comb loops and that the document stack is fully inserted before closing.
Pages are slipping out of the comb
Verify that the locking mechanism is fully engaged and that the comb was not over-opened during the binding process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your document is punched according to your specific binding machine's alignment settings. Place the Q-Connect comb into the machine’s comb opener, with the open ends facing upward. Carefully align your punched document holes over the comb teeth, then release the opening lever to close the comb securely.
Compatibility: These are standard 21-loop combs compatible with all major brands of comb binding machines (A4 size).
Care: Store the remaining combs in a cool, dry place inside their original packaging. Avoid extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle over time.
