Claim Text:
1. A machine for converting a sheet stock material into a dunnage product comprising: a conversion assembly to convert sheet stock material into a dunnage product as the sheet stock material travels along a path along a longitudinal axis through the conversion assembly from an upstream end of the conversion assembly to a downstream end of the conversion assembly; and a transversely extending guide over which the stock material passes for guided entry into the upstream end of the conversion assembly, where the conversion assembly includes a feed assembly having a movable device for drawing stock material through the conversion assembly along the longitudinal axis through the conversion assembly, where the guide has a longitudinal extent that extends transverse the path of the stock material, the longitudinal extent of the guide extends transverse the longitudinal axis, and the guide is rotatable relative to the feed assembly, and where the guide is rotatable about an axis coextensive with the longitudinal axis through the conversion assembly, such that the guide can be angularly oriented to guide the sheet stock material to the feed assembly from different sides of the conversion assembly.
