Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Mark VII High-Speed AutoFolder. Your folder and all the components were 100% tested at our factory. We folded, perforated,
and scored paper, performing over 100 individual functional checks.

Please read and understand this manual completely before attempting to operate the folder. This will prevent most common problems and eliminate op-
erator-associated errors. Most performance related problems are due to inexperience with the wide range of machine adjustments which are available to
you. Understanding these instructions is vital to years of excellent performance by a quality-tested machine.

<<  

The machine may not be operated

by  more  than  one  person  at  any
given time!

signed  for  safe  operation  by  "one
person only".

<<  During  the  folding  process  no

other work may be performed on
the machine (for example clean-
ing, etc.).

<<  The machine is not a toy, and is

not suitable for use by children!

The overall technical safety concept
of this machine (dimensions, feed
openings, etc.) does not provide for

<<  In case of danger switch the ma-

chine off with the mains switch,
or unplug the machine.
