6.0 Operation 6.4 Line Light The Spartan 150 comes standard with an LED line light. The line light switches on and stays on whenever the power is on. To use, simply align paper under clamp, and use the red light line as an indicator of where the cut will be made (Figure 9).
6.0 Operation 6.6 Adjusting the Knife Depth The depth of cut can be adjusted using the knife depth adjusting screw located on the left side of the machine. The same T-handled wrench used for changing the knife can be used to adjust the screw. Turn the screw counter-clockwise to increase knife depth, and clockwise to decrease knife depth.

7.0 Knife Installation/Changing entire width of paper is cut completely through. Do not allow the knife to cut too deep into the cut stick. Cutting excessively deep into the stick will reduce its life. 10. Send dull knives to a knife grinder – do not attempt to sharpen your own knives! Knives that do not have a minimum height of 1-1/2”...
7.0 Knife Installation/Changing 7.3.3 Bevel Angle Challenge recommends that the bevel angle for the Spartan 150 knives be 20° . Order a re- sharpened knife to the following specification, “20 , DEAD SHARP, NO MICRO-BEVEL.” A micro- bevel on this knife will cause strenuous cutting. If an operator requires cutting with less physical strain, knives may be re-sharpened to 18 .
