Troubleshooting

Ensure the lever is fully depressed into the open position and check for paper debris caught in the base.
Label is difficult to insert
Ensure the spine label is trimmed to the exact dimensions of the pocket and use a stiff card or tweezers to guide it into the sleeve.
File cover will not stay closed
Check that the cover lock slot is clear of obstructions and that the file is not overfilled beyond the 500-sheet limit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your file, simply slide a custom label into the spine pocket to categorize your documents. Ensure your papers are punched with a standard two-hole punch designed for A4 format for optimal alignment. For care, wipe the polypropylene cover with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the cover becomes smudged, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient; avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the plastic finish. Store upright on stable shelving to maintain the integrity of the mechanism.
