OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 Preparing the machine for use
a) Read all instructions carefully before starting work on the machine.
b) To reduce the risk of injuries do not use the machine near children.
c) Check all main parts, including the electric cord, for intactness and completeness.
d) If the machine’s operation gets interrupted or the machine becomes stuck, stop working
and check the technical condition of the machine.
6.2 Input feeding table installation (1)
After unpacking the machine from packaging, push the input feeding table (1) into the machine
and secure with enclosed bolts. Connect the male part into the female part of the connector that
is place on the inside of the left side cover of the machine.
6.3 Machine start
Connect the power cord. Start the machine by pressing the power switch (7). If the protective
cover is in the closed position and paper is placed correctly on the feeding table, on display (10)
appear 0. If the upper lid (5) is not closed properly, E-1 or E-2 show up on display and machine
cannot be started. If paper is missing on the feeding table, letter Pappear and again machine
cannot be started. In case of paper jam, motor turns off automatically and blc show up on
display. In such case it is necessary to remove jammed paper and restart the machine.
There are two ways how to restart the machine:
1. turn the machine off and on again by main switch (7)
2. hold RESET button (9) until blc disappear. If everything all right (after paper removal), 0
display on the screen and it is possible to continue by pressing START (10)
Read more in chapter 6.4 Reading of display
After pressing START the machine automatically starts to feed the paper. By turning the same
button it is possible to control the speed. After feeding the last paper the machine stops.

and the motor is overloaded.
Symbols "E-1" (E-2) appear if the upper lid (5) is not closed properly.
Diagnostics
Initial screen of diagnostics.
Appears when RESET button is being held for more than 3 secs.
3 dots on display are shining if:
1) There is no paper loaded on feeding table.
2) Sensor of the paper is not blocked (no paper inside machine).
3) Sensor of motor is blocked by screen placed on
driving pulley.
Left dot shows correct function of sensor, which defines revolutions
of motor. Slowly move the pulley. If everything is ok,
left dot stops shining always when sensor is not blocked by screen.
Middle dot shows correct function of sensor of counter.
To find out if sensor of counter works correctly, outshine it by
piece of paper. If everything ok, the middle dot stops shining.
Once the paper has been removed, the dot starts shining again.
Sensor is placed in the middle between left and middle feeding
wheel table.

Right dot shows correct function of sensor of feeding table.
To find out if the sensor works correctly, we outshine it by piece of
paper. If the sensor is ok, the right dot stops shining.
6.5 Input feeding table adjustment (1)
Keep pushing the table to its lower position until the lever (20) falls into a designated slot and
secures the table in the same position. Set the T-squares (21) according to the width of
introduced sheets and secure the position of those sheets by the stop screws (23). When
introducing small-size sheets, always remember to center them to the table center. The central
point of the sheet should always bear on the center of the rubber washer (a). The previously
secured T-squares can be set into a transverse position by means of the nut (25) when minor T-
square corrections of about ± 5mm are required.
The perpendicularity of the T-squares to the table axis is set by means of the nut (26). Check
the ideal center position on the cross position mark (24). Support large size sheets by the
extension table piece (22).
Note: Sheets weighing 180 g/m² and more must be inserted one by one.

6.6 Output table adjustment (2)
Adjust the output table (2) by pulling the table into a required position, depending on the size of
the sheet size processed.
For the easier folding of A3 perforated sheets (and bigger) you can use the bridge (29) and
backstop (28). It facilitates the stacking of sheets and substantially reduced the jamming of
paper in the perforated trace.
Note: If the table is not extended above the pad, do not overload it, as the table might get
damaged, bent etc.
6.7 Replacement and adjustment of perforating and creasing tools
To adjust the perforating tools (34, 35) or the creasing wheels (38), it is necessary to unplug the
machine. Open the cover (5) and use a hexagonal spanner to loosen the screws on the hubs of
the strippers (33) and remove the shaft with the strippers from the machine.
Loosen the screws on the hubs of all tools you want to adjust or remove. Loose tools can be
moved freely along the shafts. When the tools are positioned, the screws must be tightened and
the tools secured in the required position. Return the shaft with the strippers into the machine to
its working position near the perforating wheels.

It is possible to install maximum of 5 tool sets including the stripper (40).
Note: Always put indented cutting tools on the upper (30) shaft. Place the tools (34, 35) on the
shaft in a mirroring way starting from the center of the adjusted sheet as per the figure. An odd
pair of tools must always be oriented according to the half of the adjusted sheet on which that
pair of tools is placed. The guide pulleys (36, 37) must always be out on the edge of the
document in a mirroring way. If the tools are oriented only on one side of the adjusted
document, the mirroring plain equals to 1 half of the distance between the tools located in the
farthest positions.

AB C D
To process 60 g/m2 paper, it is necessary to use a special set of strippers (product number
241 49 758) and place it as per the figures.
To remove the perforating wheels or the creasing wheel, it is necessary to remove the shaft with
the strippers first and then remove the shaft with the perforating wheels. Remove the shaft by
holding the bearing (39) and pull it over the spring into the terminal position. Then push the
whole shaft back including the bearing that you continue to push into the terminal position, and
remove the shaft from the machine as per the figure.

6.8 Dismounting of covers (3, 4)
The covers can be dismounted after work has been finished and fully disconnected from the
mains supply. Before resuming work the covers must be reattached and fixed. The covers can
be dismounted only by a trained employee.
Note: The covers can be dismounted only when service interference, indented belt replacement
or feed roller pressure is required.
6.9 Separator pressure adjustment
The pressure of the separator on the wheel (27) of the feeding shaft must be adjusted in order
to secure the proper feeding of paper from the feeding table (1). Turn the wheel clockwise to
increase the pressure imposed on the separator. If a thicker sheet is introduced into the feeding
table, the pressure of the separator should be smaller.
7
REMOVAL OF DEFECTS
•The machine won’t start but the red LED is on:
Make sure the upper cover (5) is closed properly and that the optical sensor on the
input feeding table operates properly (1).
•Paper gets crumpled inside the machine:
Open the upper cover (5) and remove the paper from the machine. Make sure that
the feed roller turns freely and that it remains in the prescribed position according to
fig. A.
•Several sheets are fed simultaneously:
Adjust the pressure of the separator (b) using the adjustment wheel (c).
•The perforated cut is wide and frayed:
Make sure the blades are sharp and set the clearance between both tools. Both tools
must touch each other on the external, i.e. not beveled side. See fig. A.
•The machine gets jammed and operates only heavily:
Check all mobile parts under the cover (5).
Make sure the blades are sharp and have not been crossed or misaligned.

MACHINE MAINTENANCE
Clean the machine once a month (dust and other impurities), concentrating on the inside of the
machine, especially in the area near the electric motor.

MACHINE DISPOSAL AND TRANSPORT PACKAGING
When the machine has completed its service life, it can be disposed of together with communal
waste. The machine is then dismounted and metal, plastic, rubber, and electronic parts are
sorted to be handed in to respective salvage centers for further recycling. Machine parts are not
made from hazardous materials and as such can be disposed of as communal waste and their
liquidation by a specialized company is not necessary.
