1. GENERAL
The letter opener IM 15 slits open envelopes measuring up to
28 x 40 cm (DIN E4 format) and approx. 4 mm thick.
Larger and thicker envelopes can also be opened if they are fed
individually.
The machine is charged with stacks of envelopes and can be
continually recharged without interrupting the slitting process.
2. HOW TO USE
1. Switch the machine on (1),
2. Tap the stack of envelopes hard on a flat surface several
timestolineuptheloweredges(A).Thisensuresthatthe contents
will not slip down inside the envelope and be damaged by the
slitting blades.
3. Turn the stack of envelopes so that the lined up edges face
upwards (B), then loosen the stack far enough to ensure that the
top edge of each envelope drops into contact with the work
surface (C).
4. Now insert the prepared stack of envelopes (2) between the
transport belt (3) and the pressure arm (4).
3. IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
If the envelopes are not being drawn into the slitting area
properly, apply gentle pressure either to the pressure arm or the
stack of envelopes until proper transport resumes. Envelopes
which get stuck in the slitting area should be pulled out gently in
a sideways direction .

4. ABOUT YOUR NEW LETTER OPENER
The letter opener is designed to
receive mail in any format from
90 x 140 (3.5" x 5.5") to 280 x
400 mm (11" x 15.8") and having
a thickness of up to 4 mm.
The letter opener draws in each
letter in the stack individually,
slits it open and deposits it into
the catch tray in the same order.
The pressure arm provides for
the required pressure. Letters
are grasped by the feeder rollers
without manual aid.
Slitting open mail offers the
following advantages:
- no damage to enclosed
documents,
- no scrap,
- no interference from paper
cuttings,
- no sharp edges,
- handle edge at the opening
provides for easy removal of
documents.
Vertical and systematic storage
of the opened letters makes it
possible to easily remove
batches even while the unit is in
operation.

6. OPENING LETTERS USING THE LETTER OPENER
6.1 Preparatory steps
Sort out any unsuitable letters (e.g. plastic bags and
letters that are thicker than 4 mm, or made from synthetic
materials). See "Technical Specifications" for further in-
formation.
- Switch on the letter opener.
- Tap the stack of envelopes on
a flat surface several times in
orderto lineupthe loweredges.
This ensures that the contents
slip down inside the envelope
and are thus not damaged
when the letters are slit open.
Letters do not have to be sorted according to size, but
they should be arranged to face in one direction (address
field toward the front).
