EasyCrease Pro ™ OPERATORS GUIDE
GETTING STARTED
- Ensure that voltage select switch is set to 125V
- Insert foot pedal cord into foot pedal receptacle
- Switch main power switch to on position
- Position speed stops on side lay by loosening thumbscrew Position edge of Speed-Stop assembly with appropriate mark on scale as shown.
Note: Scale is calibrated to edge of speed stops. If placing stock
without using speed stops, to set point on scale add 1/8” to desired dimension. Example: Crease desired to be placed at 5 1/2”, stock is to be positioned at 5 5/8”.
Additional speed stops sold separately.
SELECTING CREASE WIDTH
- Determine if current position is for regular or narrow crease. The EasyCreasePro comes from the factory set to the narrow position.
- Loosen inner knob
- If changing from narrow to wide crease, rotate outer knob 1/4 turn counter-clockwise. If changing from wide to narrow crease turn outer knob 1/4 turn counter-clockwise.
- Turn the inner knob to slightly tighten it and activate the EasyCreasePro via the foot pedal to align the anvil and die.
- Tighten inner knob.
Note: In some instances turning more than 1/4 turn will rotate the die
mechanism too far so that neither width position will be selected. In such cases loosen the inner knob and rotate outer knob 3/4 turn more until a click or latching is heard. A soft click indicates that the anvil and die are 180 ° out of position, a harder click indicates that the items are set correctly.

Quick start
- Make sure the voltage select switch is set to 125V.
- Plug the foot pedal cord into the foot pedal receptacle and turn on the main power switch.
- Loosen the thumbscrew and set the edge of each speed stop on the side lay to the desired mark on the scale.
- Insert the stock under the creasing head, with the left edge against the speed stop washer and the back edge against the side lay.
- Press the foot pedal to crease.
- For a second crease, slide the stock right past the next speed stop and back left to meet its washer, then press the pedal again. Do the crease farthest from the head first.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix (from the manual) |
|---|---|---|
| Neither crease width position is selected after turning the knob | Turning more than 1/4 turn can rotate the die mechanism too far. | Loosen the inner knob and rotate the outer knob 3/4 turn more until it clicks. A soft click means the anvil and die are 180 degrees out; a harder click means they are set correctly. Page 6 |
Frequently asked questions
How do I change between narrow and wide crease?
Loosen the inner knob, rotate the outer knob 1/4 turn, lightly tighten the inner knob, cycle the machine with the foot pedal to align the anvil and die, then tighten the inner knob. It ships set to narrow (page 6).
Can I position stock without the speed stops?
Yes, but the scale is calibrated to the edge of the speed stops, so add 1/8" to your dimension. For a crease at 5 1/2", position the stock at 5 5/8" (page 6).
How often should the EasyCrease Pro be lubricated?
Monthly. Switch off and unplug, remove the creasing head cover (2 Phillips screws), apply a few drops of oil and PTFE or equivalent grease to the nut heads and shaft, then replace the cover (page 7).
What comes with the EasyCrease Pro?
Two multi-position speed stops, a foot pedal with cord and a power cord. It weighs 49 lbs (52 lbs shipping) (page 4).
