OPERATING HINTS

1. Some paper has a natural curve. Sometimes thia curve tends
to catch air and sail. If this occurs try running them upside down.
2. Perforations vary in strength. If the forms are bursting
hard, tearing or breaking behind the tear bar, vary the Carriage
Adjusting Knob setting up to 1/2" ahead or behind the actual form
size setting.
3. Multiple part forms with hard-glued edge can be burst by
positioning the tear point over the glued edge.
4. The Stacker Wheels should not stop the form until it clears the
Snap Rollers.
5. Carbonized forms will generally stack better when ran with the
coated side up.

except that one saddle is used instead of two.
