7.8 Operating Tips

•
Keep the knife and shoe sharp and in good alignment. A dull knife and poor adjustments
lead to irregular cuts. New or re-sharpened dies should be purchased through an authorized
Challenge dealer in order to insure proper sharpening.
•
Exercise care when handling and changing knives.
•
Firm placement of paper against side and back gauges will ensure good cuts.
•
Unusual noise and irregular operation indicates a maintenance check is due. A qualified
service technician should check the machine.
•
Follow the routine maintenance procedures. Keep chips off bearings and sliding parts.
Lubricate frequently with the Gib Lube provided in the toolkit. Always disconnect power
before lubricating. See Power Lockout Procedure on page 4.
