TECHKO LF283B High Speed Paper Folder Instruction Manual

TECHKO LF283B High-Speed Paper Folder

Operation

NOTE: The folder is preset and tested for a standard 81/2″x11″ letter fold. Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position before the machine is plugged in.

Setting the fold position:

1. This folder is designed to fold three sizes of paper. They are:
   USA standard (81/2″x 11″),A4(81/4″x 115/B”)and 81/2″x 14″. The folding guide scale is located on each folding guide using letters (A,B,C, etc .. ) to make fold set-ups quick and easy. Refer to the following folding chart (Fig. B) to choose one of the four folds. Choose one of the three paper sizes. Loosen the knobs on the paper folding guides and slide them to the desired set of letters, aligning the top edge of the guide with the arrows next to the letters. For example: If you want to fold A4 paper into a “Z” shape fold, just set the knob on the 1st folding guide to “N” position and set the knob on the 2nd folding guide to the “K” position.

2. Place a stack of paper in the center of the paper tray (not more than 80 sheets of 20 lb. bond plain paper, 60 sheets of bright-white paper, 50 sheets of heavy bond paper) and slide the paper guides on paper tray together until the paper is firmly positioned in the center for straight and smooth feeding into the machine. Make sure that the paper is under the feed wheel. Push the ON/OFF switch to the ON position to begin folding.

If the paper jams
If the paper becomes jammed always turn off and unplug the folder first.
You can attempt to remove the paper by hand. If this is unsuccessful the de- jamming handle is located on the bottom of the folder, remove it and insert the handle in the circular opening on the side of the unit near the ON/OFF switch. Tum the handle in either direction while pulling on the paper.

ALWAYS REPLACE THE DE-JAMMING HANDLE IN THE SLOT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE UNIT – DO NOT LEAVE IT IN THE DE-JAMMING POSITION ON THE SIDE OF THE UNIT -THIS UNIT OPERATES AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE HANDLE WILL TURN AT THE SAME SPEED AS THE ROLLERS AND COULD CAUSE INJURY IF CONTACT IS MADE BETWEEN THE HANDLE AND A HAND OR OTHER BODY PART.

To avoid electrical shock do not open the housing on any product, this action will void the warranty.

Warning:

1. Moisture and humid environment will affect the performance of this unit. Paper can become difficult to fold in humid conditions or where heavy moisture may be present. Do not use a paper folding machine under these conditions.
2. You must power off the paper folding machine by pressing the rocker power switch(see Fig. A) to OFF position immediately after the last paper is completely ejected from the folding machine. If you fail to do so, the friction between the rubber rollers and the lower paper guide (see Fig. A) may create heat that will damage the surfaces of the 2 rubber rollers.
