4. Routine Tasks
3. Open a door. Tilt and lift the waste bin
from the base of the machine.
4. Place the waste bins on the cart and re-
peat for the remaining bins.
5. After emptying and placing the bins
back into the trimmer, close the doors
securely. The machine will not operate
if a door is ajar.
Hint! Static can accumulate on the plastic waste
bins. This can occasionally cause trimmings to
cling to the handles of the bin. The Bin Full sen-
sor is at this location, so trimmings blocking the
sensor will cause the Waste Bin Full status even
if the bin is not full. To prevent this from hap-
pening, lightly spray the inside of each bin with
an anti-static spray. This need only be done on
occasion.
Using additional waste bins may reduce down-
time. Refer to section 1.6.2 Standard Accesso-
ries to obtain the part number of the waste bins.
4.3 Cut Stick / Cut Plates
The cut stick and cut plates should be changed
or rotated with every knife change. They may
require changing more often than that if deep
grooves or jagged edges can be seen along the
score marks. A worn cut stick wear can affect
cut quality.
4.3.1 Changing the Cut Stick
The cut stick can be rotated 8 times before dis-
posal. It is located under the face knife, ac-
cessed through set of double doors at the back
of the machine. The cut stick puller provided
with the machine is used to remove the cut stick.
The cut stick and other tools are located on the
inside of the left rear door that is shown in Fig-
ure 4-3. The cut stick puller has a finger hold
and hook as shown in Figure 4-5.

2. Open the set of double doors at the
back of the machine.
3. Remove the black plastic waste chute
from the table by lifting and tilting toward
the outside of the machine.
4. Hook the Cut Stick Puller over one of
the ends of the cut stick with a finger in
the loop of the puller. Keep the Cut
Stick Puller In-Line with the cut stick.

over the cut stick until the end of the cut
stick comes out of the table.

6. Remove the cut stick completely from
the table by hand.
7. Inspect the cut stick for wear. It may be
used 8 times (twice on each surface)
before disposal. To use a surface twice,
reinstall the cut stick by turning it such
that end that came out of the right end
of the slot goes into the left end of the
slot. If a surface has been used twice,
rotate the stick to an unused surface be-
fore reinstalling. If all (4) surfaces have
been used twice, replace the stick with a
new one.

8. Reinstall the waste chute.
9. Securely close the set of double doors
at the back of the machine.
10. Unlock the main power disconnect and
resume operation.
Refer to section 1.6.2 Standard Accessories to
obtain the part number for replacement cut
sticks.
4.3.2 Changing the Cut Plates
The cut plates can be rotated once before dis-
posal. One is located underneath each side
knife. They are accessed by opening the sliding
doors on each side of the machine. A flat
screwdriver is helpful but not necessary when
removing cut plates.
1. Send the book height cutting dimension
to 6 inches so the side knives move to
the center of the machine.
