Three easy steps to binding soft cover books

	Step 1: Inserting the cover and paper block First insert the cover, then place the book block and align it against the paper guide. Hold the block against turntable with your left hand, push the clamp forward and lock it by lifting the clamp handle up with right hand.
	Step 2: Roughening and gluing Turn the table over by pushing the operating handle up. For thin books, apply glue once or twice. For thick books or books with coated paper, roughen the book spine 1–3 times, then apply glue 2–3 times.
	Step 3: Nipping Rotate the book block back into the starting position. Push the operating handle down rmly and hold for 5–7 seconds to press the spine and fold the cover. Pull the clamp open and remove the book by lifting the turntable slightly with the clamp handle.
