Keep hands and clothing clear of opening in the side
of
the machine and rotating shaft on the
exit side.
NOTE:
It is advisable upon initial operation
of
machine to check width and squareness
accuracy by running some test strips (2” – 3” wide). If width is not as set using gauge pointer,
pointer may be bent or repositioned to correct. If parts are tapered, gauge squareness may not
be correct (refer to set-up procedure for gauge squareness).
Operating Hints and Cautions
Introduction:
To utilize the sheet slitter to its maximum capacity requires familiarization with the machine.
The operator of the slitter will gain most of this during actual machine running. The following list
contains some of the techniques we have found to maintain a maximum output with a minimum
set up time. It also includes an outline of the way to set the unit up for the best slitting results
and a trouble-shooting guide has been provided covering the most common problems and their
solutions.
Trouble Shooting Guide:
Material is not cut through
•
Material thickness or tensile strength exceeded capacity of machine. 16 Ga. (.060”) is the
maximum thickness & 50,000 psi is the maximum shear strength.
•
Knives penetration gap is not deep enough
