Main Unit Set-Up
Make sure the machine is "OFF" as denoted
by the 'O' sybol on the power switch. Place
the 1648 on a flat, level surface where it will
be used. It is necessary to have a clear area
behind the opener to place the catch tray.
Place the catch tray as shown in Figure #6 to
catch processed envelopes. Carefully unwind
the power cord. Firmly insert the appropriate
end into the left side of the Opener. Place
the other end into a 115 Volt, 60 Hz. outlet. The letter
opener is now ready to be put into use. Note: The
letter opener sits at an angle, this is normal.

Operation
4.1
Power Switch
Turn the main power switch located on the back of the 1648 'on' by placing it in the 'I' posi-
tion. The green indicator light will come on whenever the main power is on. The unit may
run momentarily when turned 'ON'. This is normal and not an indication of electrical malfunc-
tion.
4.2
Preparing Envelopes
Process the envelopes to be opened in a Martin Yale Model 400 or Model 4200 jogger so that
the contents settle to the bottom. This is so that only the envelope is sliced open and the
contents inside are left untouched. In the absence of a jogger, the stack of envelopes can be
tapped against a table or other hard object.

Loading and Opening Envelopes
Make sure the letter opener is on (green indicator
lamp is lit). Place the stack of envelopes on the
feed deck so that one side of the envelopes is
directly against the side of the deck and the lead
ing edge of envelopes is even with the blade cover
(see figure #7).
switch to be actuated, initiating Letter Opener
action within 3 seconds. When the entire stack
is processed, the 1648 will automatically turn off a
moment or two after the last envelope is
processed. NOTE: Many users find the envelopes cut
better on their bottom edge.
