It is preferable to open letters along the opposite edge to the flap:

Envelope flaps are frequently torn, or poorly closed if a letter is overfilled, which may
-
cause jams during opening and/or damage the envelope contents.
Protruding envelope flap edges may be problematic when letters are fed under the slit-
-
ting mechanism.
It is better to open letters with the envelope window facing down.

Knock a stack of letters on the table along the side opposite to the slitting edge, to shift the

letter contents as far away as possible from the slitting edge (minimises the risk of damage to
letter contents).
5.2 Opening letters along one edge
Open a stack of letters as follows:
5.2.1 Depending on the length of the letters to be opened,
position the letter collecting tray (12) a suitable dis-
tance away from the letter opener. For optimal stack-
ing of C5 or smaller format letters, position the letter
collecting tray (12) at a slight angle to the letter open-
er, as shown. For letters larger than C5, position the
letter collecting tray (12) parallel to the letter opener.
5.2.2 Knock the stack of letters (maximum stack height = 80 mm, load correspondingly fewer heavy
and/or C4/B4 letters) against the slitting edge on the table, to shift the letter contents as far
away as possible from the slitting edge (see also remarks under 5.1).
5.2.3 Gently tap the stack of letters against the table surface with the slitting edge facing down, to
align the letter edges together.
5.2.4 Rest the stack on the feed table (5) and slightly fan it
with the slitting edge flush against the rear panel, and
slide it over the letter release lever (6).
The motor starts running (acoustic signal). Letters

are automatically pulled in by the twin transport
belts (7) under the slitting mechanism, opened
and then stacked in the letter collecting tray (12).
5.2.5 Continue loading the remaining letters.
The motor shuts off automatically about two seconds after the last letter has been

opened.
5.3 Opening letters along two edges
To open letters along both long edges, first proceed according to working steps 5.2.1 – 5.2.5. Then
repeat working steps 5.2.2 – 5.2.5 to open the letters along their opposite long edges.
Pull apart the two sides of the envelope, and the letter contents will drop out of the envelope.
