Grasp the blade lever arm and lower it slightly while at the same time sliding the safety lever to the right (inset) to engage the blade lever arm. Use both hands to grasp the blade lever arm and bring it down to cut through the paper stack. When the cut is complete, raise the lever arm to its top position until it locks into place.
MAINTENANCE All moving parts with screws should be checked periodically to be sure the screws are tight. They may become loose in the process of transportation. Users should also check and tighten the screws after more than 200 cutting cycles. All moving parts should be lubricated and oiled periodically to maintain performance and equipment life.
REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE Remove the blade lever arm and the blade housing cover. Then reinstall the blade lever arm. Lower the blade lever arm. Remove the two middle blade screws and install the blade carrier tools. Remove the two outer screws. Raise the blade lever arm.
