Blade Replacement; Blade Adjustment - PAC MMC200 Operating Manual

Model MMC200 Multi-Material Cutter
Some notes on kit editing:
An existing kit can always be edited (i.e. add/de-
lete or change batches within a kit). Batches al-
ways need to be defined before being entered into
a kit. Only the batch at the last (greatest number)
index location may be erased. You can use <
<BACKSPACE> keys to quick jump to the first or
last batches within a kit. To delete a batch from a
kit with, say, 6 elements and the batch is located
at the third position (index #2), will require the op-
erator to reassign the batch in index #3 to index
#2, reassign batch in index #4 to index #3, reas-
sign batch in index #5 to index #4, and so on. A
total of 84 kits may be entered into memory, de-
pending on memory usage. 1148 batches total
may be programmed into one kit (with no memory
remaining to create another kit).

BLADE REPLACEMENT

Caution: Always remove compressed air sup-
ply and unplug electrical supply when replac-
ing blades or servicing the unit.
Note: Whenever a blade or both blades are
replaced follow the adjustment procedure.
1. Remove guard and chute assembly by remov-
ing the four thumbscrews.
2. Manually raise the upper blade to its highest
position (if it is not currently there) by forcing the
upper blade holders up.
3. Using the 9/64" Allen wrench provided, remove
the fixed lower blade by removing the three cap
screws securing it to the lower blade holder.
4. Remove the cap screw securing the upper
moveable blade to the right upper blade holder
using the 3/16" Allen wrench provided. Rotate the
upper blade holder block out to reveal the threaded
hole in the blade (if the blade holder block does not
rotate easily, try sliding it up and down while rotat-
ing). Insert the screw that was just removed into
the threaded hole about 3 full turns. Use this screw
to support the blade while removing the screw from
the left upper blade holder (see Specification Photo
1). Rotate the left upper blade holder out and in-
sert the removed screw back into the threaded
hole. Caution: the blade is now free and may

as handles to safely remove the blade (see Speci-
fication Photo 2). Move the blade back until it dis-
engages from the knuckle key. Then move the
blade down and out of the machine.

.
5. Replace the lower blade by securing it with the
three fasteners using the 9/64" Allen wrench pro-
vided.
6. Replace the upper blade by inserting the cap
screws into the threaded holes and using them as
handles to raise the blade up into the machine so
that it engages the knuckle key. Remove the left
screw and swing the blade holder over the blade
and insert the screw into the holder. Snug the
screw with the 3/16" Allen wrench. DO NOT
TIGHTEN. Remove the screw from the right side
of the blade and swing the right blade holder over
the blade. Insert the screw into the hole and tighten
with the 3/16" Allen wrench provided. Tighten the
left side blade holder. Make sure upper blade is
centered with the lower blade.
7. Whenever a blade or both blades are replaced
follow the adjustment procedure.

BLADE ADJUSTMENT

1. Tip the machine onto its backside and loosen
the two large screws on the bottom of the ma-
chine with the 3/16" Allen wrench (see Specifica-
tion Photo 4).
2. Tip the machine back onto its feet and loosen
the two tension screws in the bottom of the lower
blade holder with the 3/16" Allen wrench. Push
the lower blade holder towards the center of the
machine.
3. Lower the upper blade so that only the leading
edge of the upper blade covers the lower blade.
Caution: ensure the upper blade does not hit
the top of the lower blade as this will damage
the upper blade.
4. Tighten the tension screw in the lower blade
holder so the lower blade comes in contact with
the upper blade. Raise the upper blade and slowly
