UNPACKING
Check package for shipping damage. If there is shipping damage, do not discard the box.
CAUTION: Two people must lift machine out of the box.
1. Unfold the infeed paper tray (part 1, figure 1 below) and insert the paper ramp (part 2) into place.
2. Remove packing material from lower fold plate (part 3) and ensure proper installation.
3. Plug cord into wall outlet.

SETUP AND DESCRIPTION
Paper Guides:
Adjust the paper guides so the center of the sheet is aligned with the feed roller and paper can slide
freely between the guides without excessive play. To adjust, grip the guides at the top and bottom
where they are held in place on the cross shaft and slide into position. NOTE: Improper setting of the
paper guides may cause inconsistent folding or skewed folds.
Speed Control (Part #4):
The speed control is a combination on/off switch and speed control and is variable to control sheets
per hour. In general, faster speeds are more suitable for heavier stock and slower speeds for lighter
stock. NOTE: Always make final fold adjustments at the speed you intend to fold.
Stacking Wheels (Part #5):
The function of the stacking wheels, which are located on the conveyor table, is to arrange the folded
sheets into an overlapping stack. Position the stacking wheel assembly so that the leading edge of
the folded sheet touches the wheels when the trailing edge just falls onto the conveyor table.

OPERATION
Adjusting the fold plates:
To adjust fold plates to desired fold and length of paper, first loosen the two thumbscrews on each of
the two fold plates. Second, align the center bar so the marks on each side of the fold plates match
up.
Letter, accordion and half folds are clearly marked on each fold plate with blue lines. An adjustment
can be made by loosening the thumbscrew and slightly moving the center bar up or down. Tighten the
thumbscrews before operation.
For a “half” fold you must remove the lower fold plate and rotate it 180 degrees and reinsert the fold
plate.
NOTE: Remember to tighten the thumbscrews and replace the fold plates before operating.
