    6.0 Operation 6.7 Operating Tips • Correct clamping pressure is important for getting good results. Insufficient clamping pressure may result in “draw”, where the top sheets are longer than the rest of the pile because they are drawn out from under the clamp during cutting. Excessive clamping pressure, however, may cause pile distortion and inaccurate cuts.

  • Page 20: Cutting Stick

    7.0 Knife Installation/Changing A knife can last between 2,000 and 5,000 cuts before it needs to be sharpened. Cutting soft paper (such as newsprint paper) or paper with high post-consumer recycled content can cause the knife to need sharpening after only 2,000 to 3,000 cuts. Cutting pure paper, such as bond paper with no recycled content, or hard paper can allow the knife to be used for as many as 5,000 cuts before it needs to be sharpened.
  • Page 21 7.0 Knife Installation/Changing • If a knife bolt is damaged, replace it. • Always keep knife bolts securely tightened. • Store knives in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. • Never attempt to service a knife in any way.
