Operating Instructions | GPM 450 SPEED 1. INTRODUCTION We are presenting you with Operating Instructions that contain machine technical data and instructions necessary for correct setting, machine start-up, operation and maintenance. Instructions are intended for machine operation as well as for service engineers. People manipulating, installing and operating the machine should familiarise themselves with the instructions before they start.
If the GPM 450 SPEED is used correctly, it is a very safe machine. However, if used incorrectly, it can be dangerous. When operating the machine, the operator is responsible for their own personal safety. The manufacturer is not responsible for any injury to a person or damage to the machine caused by use or operation that is not in compliance with the Operating Instructions.
Operating Instructions | GPM 450 SPEED The customer will receive the accompanying technical documentation for the machine – Operating Instructions. The manufacturer hereby asks the user to ensure comprehensive safety as directed by the relevant legal proceedings, standards and regulations, the Operating Instructions and other, by training the workers consistently.
Operating Instructions | GPM 450 SPEED 6. MACHINE INSTALLATION When unpacked, place the machine on the table (See the Instructions for Table Assembly in Appendix 2). Place the machine on the table, so that the heads of the table bolts (*) fit into the rubber legs of the machine.
Operating Instructions | GPM 450 SPEED 7. ADJUSTMENT OF MACHINE AND FEEDING TABLE 7.1 Introduction Electric automatic creasing and perforating machine serves for final processing of graphic material of the width up to 450 mm. Creasing allows easy folding of the paper and that’s why it is convenient to use the machine in combination with a folding module.

Operating Instructions | GPM 450 SPEED Place 2 – 3 sheets to be processed on the feeding table. Push the sheets to the stainless steel plate, so that they are collinear (fig. 9). This ensures the sheets are perpendicular to the tool. Push the side guides (3) towards each other, so that there is a minimum gap between them and the sheets.

Operating Instructions | GPM 450 SPEED 8.3.1 Most Common Folds The most commonly used folds are created by placing the crease at exactly defined relative distances of 1/2, 1/3 or 1/4 of the paper. The most common creases are easily set by pressing the corresponding button.
Operating Instructions | GPM 450 SPEED 8.4 Setting the Speed of Processing Press SPEED OF PROCESSING on the “SETTING” screen (Fig. 20) to display the following menu. Fig. 26: “SPEED OF PROCESSING” Screen Change speed by using the + and - keys. Minimum and maximum values: 50 and 100, respectively. The default value is 100, which means 100% speed of the machine (2,500 A4 sheets per hour).

Operating Instructions | GPM 450 SPEED Fig. 28: “WORKING CYCLE” Screen The feeding wheels (29 start feeding sheets of paper into the machine. Do not load another pile of paper onto the feeding table until the machine has processed the last paper, which automatically ends the working cycle and the “WORKING CYCLE”...
Operating Instructions | GPM 450 SPEED Fig. 30: “MANUAL CONTROL” Screen (tool backwards) under the UPPER TOOL field if the perforation/creasing force gets too high and the top bar (25) remains in the lower position. Press to unlock the tool and adjust the thrust by using the tool thrust regulation screws (18).
Operating Instructions | GPM 450 SPEED Fig. 31: "CALLIPERS" Screen 9. THE MOST COMMON FAULTS (TROUBLESHOOTING) 1) Crinkled paper The paper gets crinkled, especially paper of lower paper grammage, because there is too much thrust of the feeding system on paper during feeding into the machine fig. 32 and fig. 33.

Operating Instructions | GPM 450 SPEED 9) Paper is folded askew Check the position of the side guides on the feeding table. If necessary, adjust the side guides using the angle regulation screw, see Section 7.2. Paper on the feeding table is bent. Use the magnetic strips to straighten paper, see Section 7.2.1.
Operating Instructions | GPM 450 SPEED 10. RECOMMENDED MACHINE MAINTENANCE Clean the machine from dust particles after each job using for example pressured air. Lubricate the top bar (position 25) bearings (position 36) with a suitable bearing lubricant once a year.
