Using this Oltio Book Debinder Baler is easy. Just plug it into a 480V, 220A power source. When using, make sure the work area is clear and free of debris. Since it's a used item, expect some scratches and scuffs, but that won't affect its performance. For maintenance, keep the blades clean and sharp. After each use, unplug the machine and store it in a dry place. If the sale price is over $5,000, remember to pay with a certified check made out to Michigan State University. And don't forget, this item is for local pickup at the MSU Surplus Store only.
