Step: 1. If power has not been applied to machine, do so at this time and make sure the heaters are turned
on.
Step: 2. Turn plastic feed ON.
Step: 3. Check heaters to see if they are up to operating temperature.
Step: 4. Run one piece of paper through the machine.
Step: 5. If length of plastic equals 3.00 inches (76.2mm) proceed to 4.2.3.3. If length is more than or less
than 3.00 inches (76.2mm), perform the following steps.
Step: 6. To adjust plastic size. remove locking screw that retains nut located on side of plastic feed/tip--die
mounting plate (See Fig. 4-20. ).
Step: 7. By rotating nut clockwise, the plastic lengths will become longer. A counterclockwise rotation will
shorten plastic lengths. Make sure plate location is up against shoulder of the nut when checking
piece size.
Step: 8. Run one piece of paper through machine, then measure the plastic.

desired length is achieved.
Step: 10. Finally, use the machine speed control to slowly index one piece of paper up into machine, feeding
plastic out. Stop paper just before plastic is about to cut. Position plastic stop away from end of
plastic piece approximately 1/32th inch (.75mm).
