Turn to the right: back gauge moves towards the knife.
Turn to the left: back gauge moves away from the knife.
For precise setting of the measurement always move the back gauge from the back towards the
knife.
Measuring scale
Under the viewing window (#14) the measurement scale rotates in accordance with the back gauge
movement. The exact measurement is to read beneath the indicator. To avoid inaccuracies, the
scale has to be read vertically from above.
Side guide (#16)
The side guide (#16) in combination with the back gauge allow a square alignment of paper pile to
be cut.
IMPORTANT – Please note that cutting accuracy depends on precise alignment of the paper
against the side and back gauges and proper tightening of the paper clamp.
Thermal overload switch (#10)
If the motor should be subjected to excessive strain (e.g. continuous cutting of strong cardboard
with a dull knife), the power supply to the motor will be interrupted by the thermal overload
switch (#10).
The overload button will pop out a few mm. After a short cooling down period, the overload
button can be reset again.

Maintenance

Knife change
Precise cuts are only possible with a sharp knife. The knife should be changed as soon as the
quality and the accuracy of a cut are not in accordance with the standards expected from this
cutting machine. Knife life with normal paper is approximately 20 working hours; of course, this
will vary with different types of paper.
We recommend the purchase of a spare knife, so that a sharp knife is always available. This
ensures that your machines remains operative even if the original knife has to be sent away for re-
sharpening. Look for a professional re-sharpening service locally. Of course, your distributor
knows one and can help you in this regard.
