Thank you for purchasing the Martin Yale model 1217A Autofolder. With proper
maintenance this unit is designed to provide years of trouble-free service. Upon
receiving the machine, inspect the outer carton and verify that there are no signs of
shipping damage. If the machine received damage in transit, call the shipping company
immediately and request an inspection. If there are any additional questions, feel free
to contact the customer service division at Martin Yale at 260-563-0641.

Caution:
The model 1217A has moving parts and should be operated with caution. Never
operate the unit while wearing loose fitting clothing or jewelry. Never leave a
running machin e unattended. Please take the time to read all instructions before
operating machine.

Upon receiving the machine verify the following components are included:

1.) 1217A Autofolder

2.) Feed Table Assembly (W-A121768)

3.) 2nd Fold Table (W-A121767)

4.) Receiving Tray (W-A121702)

5.) Stacking Wheel Assembly (W-A121718)

Once it is verified that all necessary components are included, unpack each piece and
put the packaging to the side. Keep the packaging for the machine, in case the need to

relocate should arise. Note: When removing from carton do not lift machine by the

first fold table. Also, do not lift or install the feed table by grabbing the paper
guides. This could cause them to bend, which could result in inaccurate folding.

VERIFYING FUNCTION/START-UP

1.) Set the unit on a tabletop where there will be access to all sides of the
machine. At least 18” would be ideal.

2.) Unravel the power cord and plug into wall. Unit should be plugged
into a 110/120VAC outlet, or a 220VAC outlet for the U.K. or European version.

3.) Turn on to verify electrical function. If no power, verify that the
socket is live by using some other device known to work. Repeat steps and
verify.

NOTE: If lack of power is direct result of a paper jam, check the 5A fuse

under the operator’s side cover. Fuse should be checked and potentially replaced
if there is any indication it might have blown, such as a paper jam, power surge,
etc.

At this point if there is still no electrical function, call your dealer or the Technical
Support Division at Martin Yale Industries, Inc. at 260-563-0641. Once power has been

verified, the unit can be assembled. Warning: failure to read the instructions for

assembly can cause damage to the unit.

The feed table is installed so that a cutout area on the bottom of the table fits onto the
pins on each side frame. NOTE: THE BOLT ON THE BACK PIN CANNOT BE
ADJUSTED. Begin by getting the front edge of the table in between the side frames at
the top of the machine. See Cover Photo. NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL PAPER GUIDES

UNTIL FEED TABLE IS ON UNIT.

Once this is done, begin bringing the table into the lower position, aligning the front
edge with the inner support pins. Once the feed table has been installed on the
machine, install the paper guides. Use the thumbnut on the bottom of the table to raise
the small red wheel so that it is touching the black one. There should not be any
pressure between them, just contact.
