1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Watkiss Automatic Spine-
TM
Master .
The Automatic SpineMaster
stapled booklets to give them the professional flat ap-
pearance of a perfect bound book, but with the security
of a stitched spine. The resulting SquareBack
are flat, making them easy to stack, handle and pack.
If you use your Automatic SpineMaster to supply Square-
Back booklets to your customers, remember to tell them
to specify 'SquareBack booklets'.
In these instructions the Automatic SpineMaster is re-
ferred to as the ASM.
Your ASM should be located on a level floor.
If your ASM is used online with other equipment, installa-
tion requires specialist knowledge and should therefore
only be carried out by a Watkiss approved engineer.
This machine must only be plugged into an electrical
supply line of the correct voltage and with a proven earth.
Any damage caused by failure to do so will not be covered
by the guarantee. The required machine voltage is shown
on the label on the rear of the unit.
Your ASM has been designed with safety as a key feature.
However, to ensure it is used safely please observe the
following cautions and warnings:
• As with all electrical equipment, disconnect the unit
from the mains electricity supply when replacing
fuses or when instructed to do so in this manual.
• The disconnect device is the applicance inlet.
• Do not attempt to put your hands or objects, other
than booklets, inside the ASM during operation.
• Do not remove machine covers. Only competent and
trained service engineers should service this equip-
ment.
