To Perform Lengthy Cutting
Lengthy Cutting: Points to Remember
The longer is the cut material, the greater are the chances that the material will become
crooked or come loose.
It is important to load the material straight, make sure the margins are wide enough, and perform test feed
to check the material feed. The high-accuracy sheet hangers and brake on this machine can minimize
crookedness of material.
Have on hand a piece of material that's at least 50 mm (2 in.) wider than the cutting width.
Load the material while a brake is put on the shaft and tension is applied to the material.
By doing so, the material can be installed without crook, and it will prevent the material from coming off.
When performing the lengthy cutting, we highly recommend that you turn [OFF] the [AUTO
FEED] as the feature is unsuitable to the lengthy cutting.
(The [AUTO FEED] feature is available only for GX-640.)

Lengthy Cutting: Loading Material
NOTICE
When performing material feed or cutting, be sure to release the brake. Attempting to perform material feed
or cutting with the brake engaged may make normal feed impossible and cause the material to slip and cause
a motor error.
Procedure
Brake
Place the roll material on the shaft and en-
gage the brake for the shaft.
Pull out the material from the roll and pass
it through the unit.
Stretch taut, with no slackness.
