6. Set up tear bar as before. (Fig. 33)
7. Close Safety covers. Machine is now ready to

machine speed to speed desired.
Burster Operating Hints
1. To stop the machine just push on either one of
two stop buttons. Opening safety cover or lifting jam
detection grill will also stop machine.
2. To restart machine start button must be pressed.
CAUTION: Machine will restart at same speed that it
was running at unless speed control thumbwheel is
turned down.
3. Some paper has a natural curve. Sometimes this
curve tends to catch air and sail. If this occurs, try
running them upside down.
4. Perforations vary in strength. If forms are bursting
hard, tearing, or breaking behind tear bar, vary form
length setting up to 1/2”ahead or behind actual form
size setting, and/or put tear bar in low position.
Fold Plates
(2092 & 2082)
Plate set up will depend on the type of stock and type
of fold you require. The fold plate design on the folder
allows changing from open or closed deflector (up
and/or down folds) without removing or turning the
plates.
A good understanding of the roller/plate
configuration will help you decide which plate to
open or close for up or down folds. Illustration 3
shows the paper path for a common “Z”-fold.
A self-adhesive folding guide label has been
conveniently placed on the conveyor extension tray.
Used along with scales on the fold plates, the guide
will help you quickly establish a rough set up for
some of the most common folding jobs.
