Again, congratulations and thank you for choosing ACCU-CUT to provide you with quality equipment and quality service. The confidence you and hundreds of others have placed in us has helped to make ACCU-CUT the most respected name in floor covering cutting and merchandising equip- ment.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS In order to avoid personal injury, make sure the operator(s) and/or mainte- nance person(s) of the machine have been oriented with the machine’s op- erating procedures and are aware of all safety precautions. 1. Unplug power cord before making any adjustments or re- pairs.
DEFINITIONS ACCU-CUT: Trade name of equipment you have purchased. LOAD SIDE CRADLE: Refers to the roller carriage located on the side of the machine where the operator places the full or partial roll of flooring. ROLL UP CRADLE: Refers to the roller cradle located on the opposite side to the Load Side Cra- dle which rolls up the flooring.
ABOUT THE MACHINE The ACCUwCUT Q-9 cut and roll machine consists of two sets of steel rollers that are referred to as cra- dles. The side where material is loaded is the load side cradle, while the opposite side is the roll up cradle.
Adjusting the shuttle cradle The Q-9 is equipped with a shuttle cradle that can be used to properly line up the material on inspection table. The edge of the material should be within a few inches of the bumper at the front of the inspection table.
Unwrapping new rolls and tightening loose rolls After loading the wrapped roll, cut the plastic the full length of the roll and at each end. Position the load cradle roller directional switch in the reverse position, and then step on the foot cable control while pulling off the plastic wrapping.
Entering the cut length With the material lined up in the center of the cutting track the counter must now be reset to zero by pressing “ Count Clear” button on PLC it can now also be programmed with the desired cut length. To enter your desired cut length: ♦...
Rolling up the material Now that the counter is set to zero (0) advance the leading edge of the material just past the center of the 2nd. big roller on the roll up cradle, (see photo 8A) (if using a paper core, place it on top of the material in the cradle now).
Sharpening the blade The cutting system on the Q-9 is equipped with a self-sharpening mechanism – it is not necessary to re- move the blade for sharpening. When the blade reaches the front end of the machine a “clutch” engages leaving the blade stationary while rotating against the sharpening mechanism.
Dumping the cut length The cut length can be dumped on to the floor by opening the roll-up arm fully. To assist the dumping process jog the roll-up cradle forward. Photo 12A Photo 12B Photo 12C Caution: Make sure the area is clear before dumping the cut length. Dumping the material in the load cradle The material in the load cradle can be dumped on to the floor by releasing the dump safety latch ( Pull latch towards you) and at the same time open load cradle fully.
PROCEDURES FOR REVERSE ROLLING Reverse rolling is an effective manner of merchandising remnants. Several dealers even merchandise full rolls pile side out.
