FEEDING THE SHEETS OF BOX-BOARD

The operator of a cutting and creasing press cannot be too careful when feeding sheets into the press. It is dangerous work, and the feeder must be constantly watchful over his hands. Never reach the hand in the press after a sheet which may stick to the form, or after sections of a sheet which may have broken apart in the cutting. Your hands are too precious to “take any chances.” Keep corking the form until all sheets leave the cutting rules without any difficulty. Bend the sheets of box-board, in small lots, so that the shape of the sheets makes easy feeding. Always be careful when feeding, and keep your eyes on your work.
