voltage. Refer to the serial plate on your system for voltagerequirements.
The general process of automated document handling can sometimes create a build up of static electricity. Therefore we
recommend that the following measures are taken to reduce the side effects of any electrostatic charge.
- Make sure that you operate the system within the recommended temperature andhumidity conditions.
- Make use of antistatic mats where appropriate.
- If necessary, make use of an ionizer to reduce static charge build up in the room where the system is located.
Please contact your supplier for further information.
- Only competent, trained personnel should operate this system. If non-trained personnel do operate this system,
the manufacturer will not accept responsibilityfor any resulting accidents or injuries.

the system will not function when the covers are open.
- Keep long hair, fingers, jewelry, etc. away from rotating and moving parts.
- The power connection must be easily accessible, preferably close to the system.For safety reasons, it is
essential that the system is connected to a socket outlet that has a protective earth (ground) connection.
- Overcurrent protection in the equipment also relies on the branch circuit protection (max. 20 A).
- The following part(s) is (are) considered the equipment disconnect device(s):
- Power supply cord plug or appliance coupler.
In Denmark, certain types of Class 1 appliances may be provided with a plug that does not provide an adequate earth
(ground) connection when inserted into a Danish socket outlet. Make sure the system has a good functioning connection
that has protective earthing (the plug and socket outlet must match).

SETTING UP
Before starting your letter opener make sure that the vacuum system is connected to the opener.
The hose from the vacuum connects from the backside of the letter opener to the front right of the
vacuum system as shown in the pictures below.
The connection cord connects from the back of the letter opener below the power socket to the
front of the vacuum system next to the power switch. This cord will enable the vacuum to turn on
automatically when the letter opener is powered on.
To connect the cord, insert the appropriate end connector on the vacuum or opener and twist the
connection until it snaps in place.
