2 Fundamental Safety Advice
2.1 Warning advice and symbols
Throughout the operating instructions, the following designations, or rather signs are used for
especially important statements:
>TIP< Special statements with regard to the economic
application of the machine
>ATTENTION!< !
Special statements, or rather commands and
prohibitions, to prevent damage.
>Danger< !
Statements, or rather commands and prohibitions, to
prevent injury to persons or extensive damage to
property
2.2 Safety at work
Agreed application of the Automatic Delivery
1. At the time of supply, palamides Automatic Deliveries meet all safety-related regulations.
For this purpose, moving and rotating parts are covered with safety hoods, which are
mechanically, or rather, electrically locked in such a way that no unreasonable
interference with the operation exists.
2. It is extremely important with all safety related measures that the operating personnel
practice high safety levels and have remaining sources of danger pointed out to them
and/or impairment of the machine and other material assets cannot be excluded.
3. The machine may be operated only when in perfect technical condition. Faults which may
impair safety are to be removed immediately by trained personnel or personnel from the
manufacturer and/or supplier.
4. The machine is only intended for banding folded paper. Banding of other materials goes
against agreement. The manufacturer and/or supplier is not responsible for any damage
resulting from this.
5. Before you operate the machine, read carefully through all the operating instructions,
including the safety and service conditions.
6. The operating instructions must always be handy near the machine.
7. If necessary, supplement the operating instructions with internal safety regulations, as
well as with legal accident prevention regulations.
8. If machine personnel changes frequently, make sure that all machine operators are
informed, or rather, trained in the previously mentioned points.
9. Never remove the protective, or rather safety devices on the machine and never alter the
machine so that safety can no longer be guaranteed.

10. Only use tools which are in perfect condition and take care that no tools are
left lying on the machine after adjustment or maintenance work. Tools which
may fall into the machine can lead to serious consequences for both man
and machine.
11. Pay attention to all safety and danger tips on the machine and keep these tips in a
legible / visible condition.
12. Report all audible / visible safety-related machine changes to the appropriate authority in
your works.
13. Operating personnel must have long hair tied back and may not wear loose clothing or
jewellery, including rings. There is a danger of injury should they get caught up or drawn
in.
14. When the machine is running, never try to clean it (rollers, belts), or to rectify faults or set
it up.
15. Make sure that no other person switches the machine on while you are busy
on it - e.g. whilst setting up or during other work! >Danger<Therefore,
always press the EMERGENCY-OFF Button
16. Do not immediately switch the machine back on if it stops for some unknown reason.
Make sure first that the machine is in perfect condition and that no other person is busy
on the machine.
17. If you have to carry out extensive mechanical / electrical maintenance or repair work to
the machine, turn off the main switch and, if necessary, secure it with a padlock.
!
18. Never open the main control cabinet or lower service cabinet! Electric, or
rather, electronic work may only be carried out by relevant authorised
personnel or by the manufacturer’s or supplier’s personnel. >MORTAL
DANGER<with the control cabinet OPEN! With the control cabinet opened,
even with the main switch turned off, there is still electrical current on the
main terminal clamps!!!
19. Report any exposed cables or electrical connections to the appropriate authority in your
works.
!
20. According to the latest safety regulations, the machine must stop if one of
the safety hoods is opened. The hoods, which serve both as safety and
noise dampening hoods, contain electrical switches. These switches may
never be dismantled or bridged, as this would mean >DANGER< to the life
and limb of the operator.
21. >DANGER< In order to stop the hoods from closing themselves, it is
necessary to ensure that the hoods are completely opened as far as they will
go.

3.2 Infeed and press
The BA700 has to be aligned with the folding machine so that the streams of leaflets are
accepted evenly in the relevant shafts (see 2.1). The height of the banding machine’s
delivery unit is to be adjusted to the exact height of the folding machine. Compare with 2.2 -
2.4.
2.1 General view.
2.2 Wrong, delivery too high.
2.3 Wrong, delivery too low.
2.4 Correct, leaflet hits the round belt opening exactly.

Now adjust the machine using pressing screw. The round belts are now set up so that the
leaflets are guided at a slant to the required shaft. This is a rough pre-adjustment. By
pressing key “Setting Sheet” and feeding in a sheet, the leaflet, which is to be processed, is
checked. This is necessary so that the register sheet is not ejected. The pressing station is
now adjusted to the product thickness with the help of setting screws. The infeed is now set
up, using round belts, so that the leaflets are fed into the middle of the shafts. With some
formats, it can happen, that the sheets are fed in off centre. This does not lead to a restriction
in the ability of the machine to function. Using potentiometer the infeed speed is now
adjusted so that the distance between each leaflet is not less than 150 mm. Ideally, the
speed is +/- 10% of the pre-folding unit.

3.3 Layering and shaft infeed
The slope and length of the layering device can be adjusted to the product which is to be
processed. It is set up to the product size by adjusting shaft 3.1.1 on handwheel 3.1.2. It is
loosened or fixed using knurled screw 3.1.2. The slope is adjusted using the switching
handle 3.1.3.
The guide rails 3.2.1 have a very important function. They ensure stabilisation in the direction
of feed by bending the sheets; this is significant when stacking up. They are loosened by
knurled screws 3.2.2 and adjusted to the relevant format (see 3.2a). The speed is now set up
using potentiometer so that the leaflets form a clean unbroken layered stream. Take care
here that the infeed runs continuously.
For single sheet infeed, the distance between the leaflets must be at least 100 mm.

3.4 Shaft
Upon loosening clamping lever 4.1, the shaft’s width is adjusted with handwheel 4.2.
Upon loosening clamping lever 4.3, the shaft walls 4.4 are now adjusted to the format.
Ensure that this is carried out at the narrowest position. For this, turn the vibration plate gear
with a No. 6 socket head cap screw key (see 4.5).
