Page 11
Startup Position the main switch to "I" (A). Blade locking facility (B) must be pulled out. Press (C). Machine will automatically go to the start position. The machine is now ready for use. Display (C) is pivotable. By loosing the allen head screw (D), (allen wrench is in the tool box) the display can be pivoted within the elongated hole.
Operation Optical cutting line indicator: Optical cutting red line (A), indicates the position of the cut. Blade cuts on the front edge of the light beam. Mechanical cutting line indicator: The clamp (B) can be used as cutting line indicator for cutting. Pre-clamping can be performed using the foot pedal (C).
Page 13
Operation Clamp plate: A clamp plate (A) is fitted to the machine to prevent pressure marks on sensitive material. To dismantle: • Remove the clamp plate (A) by turning the screwdriver (found in tool box) in the space between the clamp and clamp plate. ...
Page 14
Operation Setting clamping pressure If necessary, set clamping pressure with setting wheel (A). If a cutting process has been activated, the oil pressure can be seen on the oil pressure indicator (B). The clamp moves automatically when cutting is activated. The paper can be pressed in advance, with the foot pedal (A).
Page 15
Operation Cutting activation Do not reach into the cutting area when the blade is in motion. A cut can only be activated when the specified size is approached. • Release the photo-electric beam guard (A). • Press both actuators of the safety two-handed control system (B) simultaneously and keep them pressed until the paper is completely cut.
