WARNING
The CMT-330TC was designed specifically
for use with the Challenge infeed and exit ac-
cessories. If any other accessories are used,
it is the purchaser's responsibility to comply
with ANSI B65.4 Safety Standard for Three-
Knife Trimmers. Failure to comply with this
standard could result in personal injury or
death.
CAUTION
The CMT-330TC was specifically designed to
trim perfect bound books only. Trimming
other materials with the CMT-330TC may result
in safety hazards or damage to the machine.
For trimmable book sizes, see section 1.8.1
Multiple Book Mode: Note that up to 3 books
may be stacked in multiple book mode. The to-
tal thickness is not to exceed 1-1/4 in. (32 mm).
Larger pile thicknesses may be cut, but the trim
may be less accurate and more out-of-square.
Always test before running books outside the
published specifications.

A-weighted sound pressure level measured in
an enclosed room at operator level (6 feet/183
cm):
Machine in idle state: 60 dB

NOTE: Challenge reserves the right to make
changes to any product or specification without
notice and without incurring responsibility to ex-
isting units.
