Versa Switch for Rhin-O-Tuff HD7725/HD7700 (Vertical Paper Feed)

The Onyx HD7700 Ultima Heavy Duty Electric Punch is a top of the line single punch solution for all your binding needs. It's solid, heavy duty, and comes with an industry leading three year manufacturer's warranty. The Onyx HD7700 ships complete in one box and includes both the palm switch and the foot pedal, giving you two ways to activate the punch. The foot pedal provides hands-free convenience while the palm switch allows you to activate the punch using the same hand you are holding the paper with. One of the greatest features of all Rhin-O-Tuff Onyx punches is the interchangeable die system. Rhin-O-Tuff has created more than twenty interchangeable dies that fit into this machine alone, and they install easily, just like you see. No matter what bind, punch panel or look you are going for, this is one machine that handles all of your needs. Each die is priced separately and there are dies for plastic comb, wire loop, plastic coil, velo-bind and three hole loose leaf. The Onyx HD7700 is designed for function with it's power and unlocked die warning indicator lights, as well as it's transparent chip tray door so you can clearly see how things are filling up. Depending on the die being used, the HD Seventy-Seven Hundred can punch up to fifty-five sheets of twenty pound paper, or up to five plastic Mylar sheets regardless of the die. And as with all Rhin-O-Tuff Onyx punches, if too much paper is inserted during a punch, the auto-reverse feature will reverse the pins in the machine to reduce jamming. With our margin-stop system, the Onyx HD7700 delivers exactly what you need according to the paper and die you are using. And with the dial to the left of the unit, you can even fine-tune your setting, so you can set it, forget it, and run your whole project without fear. If you want confident and consistent punching, the Onyx HD7700 Ultima Heavy Duty Electric Punch is a great bet!

This is how you assemble and operate the Rhin-O-Tuff Onyx HD7700 Ultima; a heavy duty, top of the line, table-top punch for all your punching needs. You'll find all the parts of assembly that you'll need in the chip tray; the oil for die lubrication, two handles to lock and unlock the die, a power cord, a palm switch, and the foot pedal. The first step is to install the two handles. Insert them on both sides, screwing them tight all the way down. These will service the locking and unlocking of the punch dies. The Onyx HD7700 comes with a foot pedal that plugs into the back of the machine and activates the punch. Also included with this machine is the palm switch, which is an alternate way of activating the punch. It plugs into the same place on the back of the machine and is controlled either by finger or by palm. For the Onyx HD7700, the dies go in on the right hand side. Slide a selected die all the way in the opening until the black part is flush with the machine, and then lock both handles on the right and the left. Note that if you turn on the unit and you forget to lock the die, you will find an indicator light lit. Lock the die and the light will go off, and then you're ready to go. Now, let's see it in action. First, you will need to set the margin stop according to your project's needs. Lift the margin stop and position it to the correct size paper and die configuration that you are using. Twist the dial on the left side of the machine to fine tune the margin stop to get it exactly on the line that you need. Next, you'll run a test paper. Slide the paper into the throat of the machine, all the way over to the left, and press down on the palm switch or the foot pedal. Fold the paper in half, aligned by it's corners, and see if all the holes line up. This will show you if the punch is centered and whether or not there are any mis-punched or half-punched holes. We have one in this case, and thus we will remove the pin we don't need. Unlock the die using the handles on both sides of the machine and pull the die out. Remove the carriage top, pull out the corresponding pin, put the top back on, and you're all set. Pin removal for all Rhin-O-Tuff dies are done the same way. Now, slide the die back into the machine and lock both handles on the left and right hand side. Let's make a second test punch to see how we're doing. This one looks perfect. Now you can now begin your job. Insert a lift of paper, activate the punch by foot petal or palm switch, remove the lift of paper, and repeat until the job is done. Depending on the die being used, the HD7700 can punch up to 55 sheets of 20 pound paper. If too much paper is inserted during a punch, the auto-reverse feature will reverse the pins in the machine to reduce jamming. However, if a paper jam does occur, you can use the manual reverse handle to undo the jam. Remove the cover over the manual reverse hole located on the left side of the unit, and insert the detachable handle located on the back of the unit. It fits right into the groove of the handle. Turning it counter clockwise will reverse the pins in the machine. If you need to, you can peer down just to the left of the margin stop and see the pins clear before you remove your paper. Lastly, the chip tray in the front is transparent so you can keep an eye on how many chips are building up. If it's full, make sure you empty it before continuing. And that's all you need to know to set-up and operate the Rhin-O-Tuff Onyx HD7700 Ultima Heavy Duty Electric Punch.

In this how-to video, we will learn how to change a die on an Onyx HD7700 Ultima Heavy Duty Electric Punch. First, turn the power off in the back of the unit. Next, unlock the die by simply bringing down the levers found on either side of the unit, then remove the die by sliding it straight out until it is completely removed from the carriage. Then make your selection from the many interchangeable dies that Rhin-O-Tuff has created for this system, and, with the pins facing away from you, slide it back into the machine. Slide it all the way until the black part is flush with the side of the machine and lock it up on both sides. And that's it! Die change is easy with the Rhin-O-Tuff Onyx HD7700 Ultima Heavy Duty Electric Punch.
