Making A Cut - Challenge CHAMPION 370 XT Operator's Manual

8.3 Making a Cut

Place the paper against the backgauge and side guide. Press and release both cut buttons once to
start the hydraulic motor. Then press and hold both cut buttons to start the cut cycle. While holding
the cut buttons, the knife and clamp will complete the cut cycle. If either button is released at any
time during the cycle, the knife and clamp will immediately return to the up position.
-------------------------------
C) Up
D) Down
Note: Both cut buttons must be released before a new cut can be made. The cut buttons must be
pressed within 0.5 seconds of each other in order to make a cut.
CLAMP FACE OR KNIFE BLADE UNTIL THE KNIFE AND CLAMP HAVE STOPPED IN THE UP
POSITION! DO NOT USE FINGERS OR HANDS TO REMOVE TRIM FROM CLAMP FACE OR
KNIFE BLADE! Due to static buildup, fine trim may have a tendency to stick to the clamp or knife
surfaces. Fingertips might be drawn into the knife by the clamp if this is attempted. Wait until the
knife and clamp have BOTH STOPPED MOVING before removing stock trim.
8.3.1 Shutting Off the Hydraulic Motor
The hydraulic motor can be shut off at any time by pressing soft-key "B" (Mtr Off) or by holding only
one of the cut buttons for 3 seconds. The hydraulic motor will also shut off when the screen saver is
activated. This shut-off time can be changed in the Parameters screen of the Maintenance Mode
(see the Parameters/Time Out section on page 29).
8.4 Jogging Aid
All Champion cutters include a jogging aid as standard equipment. The jogging aid allows the
operator to load and align stock without placing hands or arms under the clamp and knife area.
Load and align the paper against the side guide, (Figure 14 on page 24), then square it to the
backgauge for cutting.
