Operator Tips on Removing Forms From The Stacker

Do not attempt to remove a full stack from the stacker.

vLimit the maximum weight of the stack by breaking the output into small stacks (start with 150 mm (6 in.) high) by separating the forms at convenient perforations.

vUse a ruler, knife, or letter opener to break hard-to-reach perforations when you separate forms.

vFollow these guidelines when you lift forms out of the stacker:

a.Ensure that you can stand safely without slipping.

b.Try to keep your back straight and balance the weight of the forms between your feet.

c.Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to lift.

d.Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles. This action removes the strain from the muscles in your back.

7.Remove the output from the stacker.

8.On the stacker control panel, press the stacker table UP switch.

9.Close the stacker gate.

10.To continue, SELECT the Ready pushbutton on the Display Touch Screen window.

Note on Adjusting the Height of the Output Stack

You can adjust the stacker table to limit the output stack height and weight. Raising the stacker table lessens the height and weight of the stack, but causes the STACKER FULL message to appear more frequently. To adjust the stacker table height, see ªAdjusting the Stacker Table Heightº on page 117.
