Model 5060, 5070 Letter Opener Introduction
Setting Up
Your new 5060 or 5070 Letter Opener will need some setup before you can begin use. Please
see the following page for instruction on assembling the Waste Tube, Waste Bin and
Table/Stand, all of which are found at the bottom of the shipping container.
General Information
Both models 5060 and 5070 are high speed milling cutter letter openers, capable of opening up to
40,000 envelopes per hour depending on the length and thickness of the envelope. The letter
opener opens the envelopes one at a time by milling off one side of the envelope. New to the
models 5060 and 5070 is a feed brush separation system, contributing to a new and
improved feed and exit of envelopes.
The model 5060 stacks the opened envelopes at the tray placed on the table at the right hand side
panel.
The Model 5070 transports the opened envelopes back to the operator with the conveyor. This allows
the operator to continuously feed envelopes without moving or stopping the machine.
Both letter openers can be delivered with a counter and/or variable speed, making it possible to
change the speed of theenvelopespassingthroughthemachine.
Routine Maintenance
It is a good idea to routinely clean on and around the machine, brush off the machine on the
exterior surfaces and empty Waste Bin regularly. As the feed belts collect dirt and dust, the
operator should clean with a mild cleaning solution as needed. This will prolong the life of the
machine as well as maintain optimum performance. Cleaning the flat red Poly-V belt is not
recommended and could cause damage to the belt and/or the letter opener.

Features of the 5060 & 5070
Control Panel
A. Main Power Switch – Depressing to the ON “ | ” position and toggling the Reset Switch will
activate machine.
B. Reset Switch – Must be toggled whenever machine is restarted.
C. Variable Speed Dial (Optional) – Variable speed is useful for slowing down the envelopes passing
through the milling cutter. The dial on top of the machine controls the speed, allowing for a range
of speeds from 40 to 100 percent of full speed. This is a helpful option for those users opening a
range of envelope sizes at the same time.
Envelope Feeding
To ensure your envelope contents are not
damaged, and to prevent jamming, it is
recommended that you prepare the
envelopes before opening as shown.
Stack Envelopes with all flaps facedown
and pointing away from the operator. Fan
the stack so that the leading edge of the
bottom envelope is protruding from the
stack, as seen in the following figures.

The envelope guide is equipped with magnets allowing
you to set the guide anywhere on the track and extender
allowing you to open a variety of different envelopes.
By loosening the thumbscrews on the side, the height of
the feed ramp becomes completely customizable. Once
desired height is reached, tighten screws and begin
opening.

Thickenvelopesandflats
Most envelope sizes are fedautomatically, requiring the operator to merely add and remove the mail.
For a few thick envelopes, it may be required for the operator to lightly press on stack to help feed the
envelopes. However, if a majority of the envelopes are thick, the operator may have to adjust the
machine settings to allow for efficient and steady feeding and prevent jamming. This procedure can
be seen on the following page.
Adjusting Foam Holder and Track Finger for Thick and Thin Envelopes
To perform this step, you will need a small Philips screwdriver. To begin, ensure that the
machine is turned off and unplugged, and then open the Track Cover so that it is freestanding
vertically. In front of the Milling Cutter is a small piece of grey foam, and below that a thin metal
strip. These are the Foam Holder and Track Finger, respectively. The four mounting screws located
above the track finger and Foam Holder will need to be loosened. After this, simply slide the Foam
Holder and Track Finger up as shown. Tighten the screws and make sure the area is clear of tools
or parts and then close the Track Cover.
For thin envelopes, it is desirable to have less pressure on the envelopeat theFoam Holder. Too much
pressure on the envelopes may cause them to crumple up. Follow the previous procedure to lighten
the amount of pressure delivered by the Track Finger and Foam Holder.

With the feed extender flipped open, you have another
way to feed your large envelopes and flats.
By sliding up the feed ramp, and adding the envelope
guide you have another feed option.

Depth of Cut
The depth of cut is adjustable on the Letter Opener Model 5060/5070. The cutter is preset at the
factory to the smallest cut possible. For most operating conditions, the factory settings should be
satisfactory. It is recommended the depth of cut be tested with only ahandful of envelopes. If the
contents are damaged or the envelope is not fully opened, the depth of cut will need to be adjusted.
The cutter can be adjusted by turning the 4mm Allen nut counterclockwise until the envelope is not cut
at all and then turn it back clockwise to increase the cut.
Milling Cutter /Carbide Insert
The carbide inserts can be used on all four sides. If they are really worn or no longer parallel with the
cutter, and the cut is no longer clean it is time to have the carbide inserts rotated. Only your
authorized service technician may perform this service.
Feed Brush System
The main function of the separation brush is to ensure that
only one envelope passes through the cutter at a time.
Adjusting the Separation to desired height:
Remove the blue track cover and locate the red
Separation brush
Place a 1 mm thick envelope beneath the brush.
Loosen the Adjustment Knob until it becomes loose
and let it come to rest on top of the envelope.
You can now tighten the Adjustment Knob and
remove the envelope.
Reverse Flow Conveyor, (optional)
The reverse flow conveyor transports the opened envelopes back underneath the operator’s area, for
the operator to collect. The reverse flow conveyor can work in two ways. Machines with optional
counter use the photo sensor, located inside Track Cover, to control the conveyor. Machines without
optional counter use a mechanical switch to control the conveyor. Both methods use the mail to trigger
the conveyor, so that the conveyor only runs when mail is being fed through the Cutter.

Counter with Mechanical or Photo Sensor (optional)
The letter opener can be delivered with a counter. The counter is mounted at
the top right side of the letter opener. A reset button allows the operator to
restart the count, or if left alone the counter will continue to display the count
even if the letter opener is powered off or unplugged.
TheDeflector
Used to reduce skewing of exiting envelopes, the deflector is now cut
from stainless steel for longer life. Without the deflector, envelopes
may not stack neatly.
Motors
The 5060 and 5070 use maintenance-free motors and therefore do not need to be greased or oiled.
Under normal use these motors will operate quietly and effectively for many years. These motors are
thermally protected and need proper ventilation to remain in operation. To allow for continuous airflow
over motors, do not place objects directly behind vent panels on back of the letter opener.
Troubleshooting
Machine does not start:
1. Check that the power cord is securely in place at both the outlet and the back of the machine.
2. Check that the transport cover (under feed and transport belts) is closed.
3. Check that the track cover (over transport belt) is closed.
4. Turn the ON/OFF Switch to the ON position and press the reset button.
Machine stops and does not restart:
1. If machine has been running for several hours in a warm environment it is possible the motors
have overheated and shut down to prevent damage. Allow a half-hour for cooling and restart
machine.
If the machine still does not start, you will need to contact your local service technician.
Envelope becomes jammed in machine
1. Turn the machine off, and unplug from power supply.
2. Lift and open Track Cover to upright position and remove jammed envelopes.
3. Check for any remaining debris on belts or track, then close cover
4. Re-stack remaining envelopes and plug in and start machine again.
Machine stops counting:
1. Turn the machine off, and unplug from power supply
2. Lift and open Track Cover to upright position
3. Inspect that the mechanical switch is not jammed
WARNING: Remove ALL staples, paper clips and rubber
bands from mail before opening! Failure to do so will cause
damage to the machine and void your warranty.
If you experience any other troubles with your machine, contact your dealer for further assistance.
