Jogging machines use strong vibrations and sometimes bursts of air to
separate pages and align documents. This article will provide some
simple tips and tricks for using your paper jogging machine.
Set
the machine on a heavy or sturdy table that is rated to hold at least
500lbs. Although the jogging machine doesn't weigh very much if the
table is not extremely heavy duty it will not be able to support the
vibrations of the jogger. The table must be sturdy enough that it will
not shake or move at all during the jogging process.
Do
not set any other objects or machines on the same table as the jogger.
Small objects or tools will add noise to jogging process and may
vibrate off the surface of the table.
Keep the table free
of dust, and oil. Any dust or oil on the table can cause the paper
jogger to move during the jogging process.
For best
results and where noise level is a concern, use a small (13" x 16")
piece of rubber, rug or cardboard underneath the base of the jogger.
This will help to reduce the amount of vibration that is transferred
into the work surface or table below the jogger.
For most
joggers, the amount of vibration and the angle of the bin are
factory-set for the ideal set up to better handle all types of paper
stock. However, most jogging machines have adjustments that allow you
to increase or decrease the amount of vibration or the angle of the
jogging bin. Remember though that the more vibration that your jogger
uses the more noise that it will produce.
Be careful when
picking up your paper jogger. It is important to never pick up, grab,
lift or handle the machine by the jogging bin. Instead, the machine
must only be carried by holding it from the bottom base. If you do pick
up or handle the jogger by the jogging bin you will run the risk of
throwing your machine out of alignment or causing damage to your
machine.
Never leave your jogging machine unattended while in operation.
Using these seven tips, you should be able to set up your jogging
machine, increase your productivity and decrease the noise that the
jogger produces. Give these things a try and enjoy happy jogging.
