But first, I take a test sheet. I already have a perforelieuse and remember that the first sheets were stained with oil, so it may also remaining oil in my new perforelieuse. But then, I realize with a start apprehensive that my new acquisition is the model without transparent window to check if pages are well positioned without mound or landmark to guide us.
After my test leaves emerge unblemished, blindly, I place ten leaves and I lower the handle.
There, big doubt. I have to force to the resistance that oppose the device before the volume leaves, crossed by the fear that the perforelieuse can break my hands. Once the fully lowered handle, I withdraw my leaves.
Wow cata! Well, at least, my holes are made, but wrong.
I put 5 sheets to start over. Ah well the horror, as I do not see what is happening, I have leaves whose edges are folded after my attempts to position them at the bottom. And here I'm lowering the handle repeatedly, not perforated. From time to time I am fortunate that the edges of the sheets remain smooth and then makes perforelieuse are working properly.
But, unable to check the status and positioning of my leaves before puncture is the lotto. And of course, there is the step of emptying the compartment collecting scraps of paper. The manual does not indicate how open it. I lose 5 minutes finding the solution. Of course, with my legendary clumsiness, when finally gives this tray to my efforts to open it, it does not happen smoothly. And I found myself with all the confetti on the ground. Here again several minutes lost to pass the brush.
In short, if we can punch as it should, connecting is a formality. It is also necessary to drill, and this unit is completely unreliable in this view. The paper waste is more important than the number of perforated sheets properly. In short, at that price, I tell you to avoid!
