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 acci-
dentally 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.

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) Top-to-Bottom Distance
- 3.860” to 5.905”
11119
10303C1
If the top-to-bottom distance is less than 185mm (7.285")
- 79.1 to 80.9 (mm)
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”
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.

when the machine stops.
- If misdetection occurs frequently, the reflec-
