VERS. 04.04.2019
In full depth or fixed cutting, the cutting head is locked in a fixed position and the material is pushed into it as
shown.

Lower the cutting head to the desired cutting depth (in "through cutting", lower cutting head until blade
periphery reaches max. 3mm under the surface of the conveyor cart) by means of the handle on the
blade guard.

Fix the position by tightening the locking handle located on the side of the cutting head and set the
depth stop screw correctly.

Place the material on the conveyor cart and hold it firmly against the stop (and where appropriate
against the guide-a-cut).

Start the machine

Push the conveyor cart slowly and without undue pressure towards the rotating blade and cut the
material as shown on the picture.
Note: While recommended, it is not absolutely necessary to lock the cutting head into a given depth position
when jam cutting. The desired cutting depth can be maintained by holding firmly the depth feed handle on
the blade guard. If the full depth of cut requires excessive pressure (on very dense material e.g.) make 2 or
3 shallow cuts.
5.2.2 Multiple step cutting
Multiple step cutting consists of moving the conveyor cart with the material to be cut back and forward under
the rotating blade as shown.

Place the material on the conveyor cart and hold it firmly against the stop (and where appropriate
against the guide-a-cut) keeping the hands well away from the blade.

Start the machine.

Move conveyor cart forward near the blade and pull down the cutting head until blade is lowered to a
point where it will lightly contact the surface of the material.

Keep a constant pressure on the cutting head handle.

Pass the material beneath with rapid full length strokes, taking a shallow cut (approximately 3 mm deep
as shown on the picture) on the forward. On the backward stroke, lift the blade just clear over the cutting
line.
