SAFETY CAUTION! 

 

 

Make sure the machine is disconnected from the air and power supplies before 

undertaking any maintenance or service procedures. 

 

Only one person at a time should adjust the machine. 

 

Only qualified personnel must operate machine. 

 

 
Be aware of the following machine characteristics: 

-  When the machine is connected to an air supply and first turned on, the 

Snap Folders

 will cycle once 

and the compression press may cycle once.  Be sure all personnel are clear of the machine when 
starting. 

-  If the machine is running, activating the left hand limit switch at the infeed entrance will cause the 

Snap Folders

 to cycle and the right hand limit switch at the entrance will cause the indexing stop 

gate to operate. 

-  When the machine is running, activation of the limit switches mounted on the side belt conveyor 

cover or the bottom roller conveyor at the center of the machine will cause hot glue to be dispensed 
and can cause severe burns. 

 

NEVER REACH INTO THE MACHINE WHILE IT IS RUNNING
