I bought this hole punch to make holes in text and betting paper covers. I returned it for a refund because it didn't punch through a single sheet of paper without re-perforating, which inevitably became inconsistent. When he finally made the hole, the paper got stuck in the bat, so I had to take it apart and pry out the scraps of paper with a paperclip. I can't tell if there are specific instructions for this as they are all in Japanese. I can read five languages, including Chinese, but Japanese is not part of my repertoire! I cannot recommend this product.
