6.2 Making a Cut
Open the front shield and place the paper against the backgauge. Note: If the cut will leave strips of
paper less than 1/2” wide, place the paper against the right side guide. This will prevent the strips
from getting caught in the small opening near the left side guide.
To make the cut, close the front shield and press both cut buttons located at the front of the machine
within 1/2 second of each other. Hold the buttons in until the knife reaches the table. Releasing the
cut buttons or raising the shield at any time during the cut cycle will immediately send the knife and
clamp to the “up” position.
Note:
The shield must be opened and closed each time before making a cut.
Note:
If your machine is equipped with a light curtain instead of the shield you must break the beams
each time before making a cut.
