Operating Safety Precautions

WARNINGS for Operation
This machine must be operated by just one person at a time.
Work alone when you maintain and lubricate the machine. Letting someone else operate the machine may cause severe personal injury.
Do not remove or bypass any safety features. Moving parts can cause severe personal injury.
Some adjustments must be made with some of the machine covers opened. Keep your hands and fingers outside of the safety cover and away from any moving parts while the machine is running. Otherwise moving parts can cause severe personal injury.
The machine will not stop immediately if the Emergency Stop switch on an upstream device is pressed. After all in-process booklets are delivered, the machine will stop.
Do not allow anyone else near the machine when you are moving the main section of the SPF forwards or backwards.
When replacing the knife, wear gloves and do not touch the edge of the knife directly. The knife is extremely sharp, and may cause severe personal injury.
Press the Emergency Stop button before turning the handwheel. A sudden accidental start of the machine can cause severe personal injury.
Do not operate the fore-edge trim section separately from the SPF main unit.
CAUTIONS for Operation
After turning off the power switch, wait ten seconds before turning it on again. Otherwise, a circuit board may be damaged.
The fold knife and roller may strike each other if the fold knife is lifted too far. Turn the fold knife height adjustment knob in small amounts.
Remove the cable connected to the SPF main unit before moving the fore-edge trim section away.
iii
WARNINGS for Maintenance
Turn off the power switch before beginning any maintenance operation. If the machine acci­dentally starts suddenly, this can cause severe personal injury.
Turn off the power switch before clearing a jam. If the machine accidentally starts suddenly, this can cause severe personal injury.
When working inside the machine, be careful to keep your hands away from nearby parts.
Be sure to press the Emergency Stop button before opening the fold section cover. The machine may start suddenly, causing severe personal injury.
Turn off the power switch before resetting a circuit breaker. Otherwise, the machine may start suddenly, causing severe personal injury.
Fuse replacement must be done under the supervision of a maintenance administrator. Turn off the power switch and unplug the power cable before replacing a fuse.
When the booklet thickness detector is installed, evacuate the laser unit. Otherwise the sensor may be damaged.
CAUTIONS for Maintenance
Use the types of lubrication oil and grease which are recommended by HORIZON. Other oil or grease may reduce the life of the machine or cause damage.
WARNINGS for Installation
Turn off the main power or circuit breaker in the factory before connecting the power cord to the machine. High voltage electricity can cause severe personal injury.
CAUTIONS for Installation
Be sure to install the floor mounting plates to keep the machine level. Otherwise, vibration may cause the machine to move. The binding quality may deteriorate, or the machine may be damaged.
The SPF-200A the FC-200A weigh about 720 kg (1590 lb). The SPF-200L the FC-200L weigh about 750 kg (1653 lb). Transport and install the machine safely, and keep the weight of the unit in mind.
Install the machine correctly, referring to the installation manual or installation instructions in the user’s manual before starting the machine. Otherwise, the binding quality cannot be guaranteed.

Transport Pusher for
Paper Insertion (Option)
Transport Pusher
This pusher transports the flat sheet when it is inserted into the center page of a stitched book­let.
The sheet is pushed and trans­ported by this pusher. The pusher may be removed if there are paper jams. (Remember to re-install the pusher for normal setups.)
The waiting position for the transport pusher can be adjusted using the touch panel screen. Refer to page 25 for details.
11119 10205C1
Saddle Stitch Stopper
Install large or small stoppers to match the sheet width. (The instruction screen is displayed on the touch panel.)
Side Stitch Stopper
This stopper is used for side stitching and corner stitching.
Top and Bottom Guides
- These guides jog the sheets from the top and bot­tom sides before stitching.
- The settings listed below can be done using the touch panel.
- Jogging frequency before stitching
- Stroke (Guide opening when the sheet comes in)
- Delivery Stroke (Guide opening when the sheet
goes out)
- When you are doing corner stitching, these guides are replaced by the corner stitch guide.
- This guide assembly consists of three parts. When you are running small booklets, you may have to remove these guides. (The instruction screen is displayed on the touch panel.)
Side Stitch Sheet Hold-Down Plate
This plate prevents the sheets from floating. Long type and short plates are available.
Guide Bar
This bar prevents the sheets from being bent down. You must remove this bar before doing a changeover. (The instruction screen is displayed on the touch panel.)
Parallel Adjusting Bolt
This bolt is used as a gauge to adjust the top-bottom guide so that it is parallel.

Wire Feeding Detection Sensor
As the wire is feeding, the wire guide bends down and immediately returns to its original position. This sensor watches the movement of the wire guide to see that the wire is feeding properly. The sensor is turned on (red LED lights) when the wire guide is bent down.
Clincher Lever
This allows you to remove a stitch which remains in the clincher section.
Stitcher Head Drive Block
When one of these blocks is removed, the machine does not make stitches on that side. The block on the non-stitched side should be removed when you are doing corner stitching. (The instruction screen is displayed on the touch panel.)
Coil Brake
This brake prevents the coil from turning too easily and tangling the wire. If the brake is pressed harder against the coil, it becomes harder to turn the coil.
Stitch Angle Adjusting Knob
The stitch angle can be adjusted using this knob if one stitch is not lined up.
Wire Coil
Standard wire is No.25 (0.5 mm in diameter) Optional wire No.26 (0.45 mm in diameter) is available.
Wire Guide
Red LED This lamp lights when the sensor detects the wire guide.
There are circuit breakers inside this cover. See Section 6-10.
These holes allow for installation of two optional stitcher heads. The positions of these two stitchers are fixed.
Sheet Holder
This holder prevents the sheet from floating. Long, short, and side stitch­ing holders are available. Select the holder to match the binding pattern and sheet size. To change the holder, loosen the locking knob. Set the position of the holder to match the thickness of the book­let.

Fold Knife Height Adjusting Knob
The fold knife lifts when you turn this knob clock­wise. (If you lift the fold knife too far, it may hit the fold roller.)
Press Rollers
These rollers compress the booklets.
Fold Rollers
The gap between the rollers is automatically set to match the booklet thickness entered on the touch panel.

-These guides jog the sheets before folding.
-The settings listed below can be done using the touch panel.
- Distance between guides when jogging sheets

Stitch Distance
For Saddle Stitching The “stitch distance” is the distance between the centers of the stitches. Set the stitch distance as listed below:
When top and bottom distance is 185mm (7.285") or more
- 79.1 to 92.0 (mm)
- 138.0 to 150.9 (mm)
- 234.0 to 246.0 (mm)
- 3.860” to 5.905”
If the top-to-bottom distance is less than 185mm (7.285")
- 79.1 to 80.9 (mm)
If the stitch distance is adjusted outside this range, skewing may occur because the stitch hits the fold knife, or the crooked trimming may occur because the stitch hits the booklet stopper. If a value outside the normal range is entered, the value is shown in red and the
caution icons( ) are displayed.
On a machine set to measure in inches, you must set the stitch distance carefully so that the stitches do not hit the fold knife or booklet stopper.
Stitch distance so that the stitch does not hit the fold knife
- 3.860” to 5.905”
Stitch distance so that the stitch does not hit the booklet stopper
- 3.115” to 3.185”
