3M 800af manual Feeding boxes to the machine, Box Size Set-Up

Operation (Continued)

Figure 3-11

Run several test boxes through the machine, and observe the flap kicking action. Adjust the kicker cam so the kicker "kicks" earlier or later as required (refer to figure 3-8). In general, it is better to set the kicker to "kick" early because it contacts the flap higher above the score-line which results in more reliable flap folding.

WARNING – Keep hands away from drive belts and flap kicker when

feeding boxes to the machine.

Figure 3-12

The upper side flap folding guides can be adjusted in or out to accommodate the width of the box. For optimum performance, the side flap folding guides should be adjusted to the narrowest position which allows them to catch any side flaps that may be bent outward past vertical.

Note –Box flaps should not be bent outward past vertical more than 15° when entering case sealer.
