6.11 False Clamp Plate

removing the false clamp plate. NEVER attempt to install or remove the false clamp plate while the
machine is running. Remove all tools and stand clear when reconnecting power.
To prevent marking on pressure sensitive jobs, a false clamp plate has been included (installed) with
your machine. This plate attaches to the bottom of the clamp. It is secured from the front of the
cutter with three set screws that clamp against the mounting rods on the false clamp plate.
1. DISCONNECT THE POWER AND LOCK IT OUT (See Power Lock-Out Procedure, page 5)
2. Position the false clamp plate under the clamp. The locator pegs should be positioned to the
rear of the cutter and are set into holes in the bottom of the clamp.
3. With a 1/8" Allen wrench, back off the setscrews in front of the clamp and raise the plate up to
the bottom of the clamp. It may be necessary to bring the clamp down slightly with the foot
pedal in order to access the far left setscrew. Raise the false clamp plate evenly or it will
have a tendency to bind. When the plate has been raised into position and is flush with the
bottom of the clamp, tighten the setscrews to hold the plate in position.
4. Make sure that all tools have been taken off the cutter table, reconnect the power, and turn
on the power.
NOTE: The cutter cannot make cuts smaller than 2-5/8" (66.7 mm) with the false clamp plate
installed.
