Operating Safety Precautions
WARNINGS for Operation
This machine must be operated by just one person at a time.
Work alone when you maintain and lubricate the machine. Letting someone else operate the
machine may cause severe personal injury.
Do not remove or bypass any safety features. Moving parts can cause severe personal
injury.
Some adjustments must be made with some of the machine covers opened.
Keep your hands and fingers outside of the safety cover and away from any moving parts
while the machine is running. Otherwise moving parts can cause severe personal injury.
The machine will not stop immediately if the Emergency Stop switch on an upstream device
is pressed. After all in-process booklets are delivered, the machine will stop.
Do not allow anyone else near the machine when you are moving the main section of the
SPF forwards or backwards.
When replacing the knife, wear gloves and do not touch the edge of the knife directly. The
knife is extremely sharp, and may cause severe personal injury.
Press the Emergency Stop button before turning the handwheel. A sudden accidental start
of the machine can cause severe personal injury.
Do not operate the fore-edge trim section separately from the SPF main unit.
CAUTIONS for Operation
After turning off the power switch, wait ten seconds before turning it on again. Otherwise, a
circuit board may be damaged.
The fold knife and roller may strike each other if the fold knife is lifted too far. Turn the fold
knife height adjustment knob in small amounts.
Remove the cable connected to the SPF main unit before moving the fore-edge trim section
away.
