Before opening electrical control panel always ensure the main plug is disconnected.
7.1.3 Avoid
insertion of hands in this area while drive of the machine is on.
7.1.4 During
the machine setting operation, operator is directly exposed to the rotating
folding rollers.
7.1.5 Clean
connection & fittings at beginning of machine running.
7.1.6 Check
the protective facilities after every day production work.
7.1.7 Set
the folding plate or pocket as your production schedule.
7.1.8 Set
the feed papers to the machine one by one.
7.1.8 Ensure
smooth feeding of paper of various types and thicknesses
7.2 Safe equipment & other factors need to consider
7.2.1 Equipment
must be made safe before operating starts.
7.2.2 Set
up position people at key points if they are needed to keep other people out of
place.
7.2.3 Don’t
just focus on the safety of Machine operating – Take the necessary precautions
to ensure the safety of others who may be affected by their work.

folder paper can be creased to help in right angle folding.
7.2.5 Set
the creasing line in used as a guideline.
7.2.6 Gap
between the rollers is adjusted according to the paper thickness. Folding
pockets are used to set the
fold length. Gap setting roller is a fixed roller.
7.2.7 To
ensure vibration free operation of machine.
7.2.8 Level
the machine by adjusting four pads properly.
7.3 Other factors need to consider
7.3.1 After
locking the folding pocket ensure the freeness of machine by rotating the
machine with hand wheel to ensure
that the folding tray not touching the rubber roller.
7.3.2 So
that avoid the damage to the rubber roller.
