Caution:
The unit contains rotating blades and other dangerous items. Do not remove any safety cov-
ers from the machine. Be aware that loose jewelry, long hair and loose fitting clothes should be kept
away from the unit.
1. Set the machine on a tabletop. Verify the power switch is set to "0" (off position).
2. Look in each feed shelf of your unit, and verify that the tips of the sheet
retarder are not in contact with the feed wheels. These are preset at
the factory and should not need to be adjusted.
Note: If the machine
is operated with the retarder in contact with the feed wheels the
wheels could be damaged.
2a. Remove taped accessories from the exit tray shelves. These are
used as paper weights on top of the stack to insure accurate track-
ing of curled stocks, or for stocks that require additional control for
accurate feeding and registration. See Figure 2.
3. Turn rocker switch to "1" . The unit should begin running. If there is no
power, try the following:
3a. Check the electrical outlet to verify function. A good way to do this is to plug in
another device that you know works.
3b. If still no power, check that circuit breaker has not tripped. Find source
of machine bind and correct. Allow machine to cool and push breaker in to reset.
3c. Call the technical support division at Martin Yale Industries, Inc. at 260-563-0641.
Depending on the model, install the paper support and collection bins onto the machine. A paper support is uti-
lized on the in feed of any bin where the sheets overhang the edge of the feed shelf. The paper support is
installed by inserting the tabs into the slots on the front of the feed shelves as shown in Figure 3. Also, for units
that make business cards, the bottom shelf will be where the first pass is made and the shelf above it will be
where the finished product is created.
NOTE: On the 400 series the bottom stacking tray and paper sup-
port can be moved to the top shelf for stacking of scored or perforated stock.
See Figure 4 for correct
location of collection trays on the 400 series business card slitters.
