SAFETY
A series of messages are used throughout this manual to alert you to
potentially hazardous conditions. These messages are explained
below:
•WARNING -indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause
severe personal injury or loss of life, or substantial
property damage if the warning is ignored.
•CAUTION - indicates the presence of a hazard that will or can
cause minor personal injury or property damage if
the warning is ignored.
•NOTICE - calls attention to practices that could adversely affect
equipment operation if instructions are not followed
exactly.
Always use safe operating procedures when running your folder.
Observe the following practices:
• To protect against electric shock, the machine should only be
plugged into a properly grounded wall outlet. The wall outlet
should be near the machine and easily accessible.
• Insert the power cord into power inlet at the rear of the machine
and the other end into the wall outlet.
• DO NOT use an adapter plug on the line cord or wall outlet.
• DO NOT remove the ground pin from the line cord.
• Avoid using wall outlets that are controlled by wall switches or
shared with other equipment.
• DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trapped be-
tween furniture.
• Insure there is no strain on the power cord where it becomes
jammed between the equipment, walls or furniture.
• Be certain the area in front of the wall receptacle into which the
machine is plugged is free from obstruction.

• DO NOT remove covers. This machine cabinet serves to enclose
hazardous parts. If the machine has been dropped or has other-
wise been stressed in any way, report it to your Pitney Bowes
Customer Service Representative.
• To reduce the risk of fire and/or electrical shock, do no attempt to
disassemble this machine. If service is required, contact your
Pitney Bowes Customer Service Representative who will discon-
nect before servicing to prevent electrical shock.
• DO NOT remove the cautionary label on the equipment that states:
Caution! Exposed rollers can cause personal injury.
Keep hands, long hair, jewelry and loose clothing away
from this area.
• The unit is heavy and should be set in place by someone trained in
the proper techniques of lifting and authorized by the owner's
insurance carrier.
• Insure the unit is on a stable table surface so that the table cannot
tip over if someone leans on the edge of the table.
• Keep loose clothing, jewelry and long hair away from all moving
parts.
• Avoid touching moving parts or materials while the machine is in
use. When clearing a jam, be sure the machine mechanisms
come to a stop and disconnect power.
• To prevent overheating, do not cover the vent openings.
• All areas of the machine requiring disassembly or removal of
covers should be accessed only by your Pitney Bowes Customer
Service Representative.
• Read all instructions before attempting to operate the equipment.
In addition, follow any specific occupational safety and health
standards for your workplace or area.

GENERAL
The Model 1810 Folder is a desktop folding machine designed for
the low-volume mailer. The folder is ideal for mailers whose normal
usage is about 20 sheets per day or those who have monthly peak
loads of under 1000 sheets.
The Model 1810 Folder can fold papers in letter, legal, statement,
and invoice sizes. The pieces to be folded can contain from one to
three sheets of a nominal 20# base paper. A single dial allows you
to select the desired fold based on paper size. Refer to chart on
page 6.
For single-sheet folding, you can use either the automatic feeding
function by placing the single sheets in the paper cassette or by
manually placing the sheet into the manual feed opening. For pieces
that are stapled or contain more than one sheet, you must feed
them manually. The following figure shows the major components
of the folder.

SETUP AND INSTALLATION
After opening both boxes, perform the following procedure to install
the folder.
1. Place the machine on the suggested working surface. This
surface should be a sturdy table. NOTICE: Don’t block the
sides or vented openings on your machine or use it over a
radiator or heat register.
2. Be sure the On/Off switch is Off ("O" side depressed) and insert
the power cord into the machine. Plug the other end into a 120
Vac, 60 cycle outlet. CAUTION: Only use a three prong outlet.
Never use an adapter or cut the ground prong from the plug.
3. Configure the paper cassette (if required) for the length of paper
to be used by moving the paper stop (shown on page 5) to the
correct position. Push the tabs toward the center to release the
stop and then insert it in the proper location. There is also a
reversible tray label.You can now load the paper in the tray.
4. Insert the paper cassette into the folder. Hold the cassette
firmly in both hands and slide the cassette into the opening in
the right-hand cover. Firmly push the cassette in as far as it will
go. You must lift up slightly on the end while pushing inwards.
Once the tray is in all the way, it should be lowered into place.
5. Install the wire stacker tray extension as illustrated on page 5.
