2. Loosen the Fold Table Thumb
Knob on the 2nd Fold Table and
move the Paper Stop to the
appropriate circle according to
the Folding Chart. Retighten
the Fold Table Thumb Knob.
3. Place a stack of the paper to be
folded on the Feed Table Assembly and set the Paper Guides so that the
sheet is centered under the Feed Wheel and slides freely down between the
Paper Guides without excessive side play.
4. Run the folder and fold several sheets. Stop the folder and inspect the fold-
ed sheets for accuracy.
5. Make 1st Fold corrections with the 1st Fold Table Paper Stop. Make 2nd
Fold corrections with the 2nd Fold Table Paper Stop. (See illustrations below
for first and second fold descriptions.)
6. After corrections are made, turn on the folder and complete the folding job.

Fold Skew Adjustment
Rotate the Skew Adjustment Knob until the desired
amount of skew adjustment has been made. This is
best done with the folder running but can be done
while stopped.
Ready to Fold
Pressing the RUN/STOP button will initiate folding. Folding will continue
until either the RUN/STOP button is pressed or the Feed Table
becomes empty of paper.
Stopping the Folder
If the folder is running, pressing the RUN/STOP button once performs a normal
shut down, allowing all paper to clear the machine prior to the main motor stop-
ping. Pressing the RUN/STOP button twice in quick succession causes an imme-
diate stop of the main motor. This is to be used for emergency stops only. When
ready to begin again, press the bypass button to initiate.

Folding Multiple Sheets
Insert up to 4 sheets of 20# Bond paper through the Multi-sheet
Bypass. The sheets may be stapled together. To fold multiple sheets
together at the same time, place all of the sheets into the Multi-Sheet
Bypass. For best results, insure that all of the pages are aligned with each
other. Insert stapled edge first.
Folder Speed
To adjust the speed of your folder press either the increase or
decrease button (Incremental Speed Adjustment buttons). The indica-
tor lights to the right of the Incremental Speed Adjustment buttons
show the amount of increase or decrease. Folder speed can be
adjusted while the folder is running. For most folding jobs, the folder
can be run at full speed (100%). Typically, the only time that the folder
is run less than 100% is when folding light weight paper (less than 20#) or if the
paper has a glossy or silky smooth finish.
Stacking Wheels
The function of the Stacking Wheel Assembly, which is 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 a folded sheet touches the
wheels when the trailing edge just falls onto the Conveyor Table. The Stack
Wheel Decal gives a quick reference to the correct position based upon fold and
paper size.
Maintenance
Half Fold
Feed Wheel
After a period of normal operation, the Feed Wheel will become coated by ink,
toner, lint, and other contaminant. Clean the Feed Wheel by wiping with a damp
cloth containing a mild soap and water solution. Replace the Feed Wheel when,
with a properly adjusted Retarder Assembly, a single sheet will no longer feed
successfully.
2nd Fold
Folding Rollers
During normal operation, the Folding Rollers will become coated with ink, toner,
lint, and various other contaminant. Contaminated Folding Rollers can cause a
variety of folding problems. We recommend cleaning the Folding Rollers after
every folding job, according to the following procedure. Regular cleaning will
ensure optimum performance and add years of life to the Folding Rollers.
1. Make sure that the power to the machine has been disconnected and locked
out.

2. Remove the Fold Table Assemblies and open the Top Cover.
3. Liberally spray Martin Yale Rubber Roller Cleaner and Rejuvenator across
the rollers. Roller Cleaner and Rejuvenator has been specifically formulated
for use in cleaning the Folding Rollers. Use of any other cleaner may deteri-
orate the rollers.
4. Utilizing a clean cloth, briskly clean each roller until no more contaminant
appear on the cloth surface.
Rotate the rollers manually and continue to clean until all roller surfaces are
smooth and resilient, not hard or glazed.
5. If necessary, remove any glaze with a non-abrasive cleaning pad, such as a
3M Scotchbrite ® pad.
6. After cleaning, turn on the machine, close the top cover and press and hold
the "Bypass" button. This will allow evaporation of any cleaner left on the
Folding Rollers. CAUTION: Rollers can stick together if not allowed to
fully dry before storing.
Removing a paper jam
1 Remove both fold tables.
2 Open the top cover.
3 Depress the feed table to the load
position.
4 Take the "T" handle from the storage
compartment.
5 Insert the "T" handle into the de-jam
port.
6 Rotate the "T" handle while pulling on the paper jam.
! Warning: Don't use the machine, while you are working with the "T"-
Handle!
