INSTRUCTION FOR KNIFE REPLACEMENT
User's Guide
If the last sheet of paper pile does not cut through, even though the knife adjustment was
already adjusted to the left , the cutting stick should be changed, turned or rotated.
The cutting stick can be used two time on each side- which means 8 changed per stick. The
cutting stick fits into the machine table can be lifted out with a 4mm T wrench to
push out in the middle hole under the table to replace a new one. Please refer to the figure (A).
* Please note : When the cutting stick is changed, the knife has to be readjusted.
A knife which cuts too deeply, not only damages the cutting stick but also the knife.
CUTTING STICK

Bring hand guard up. Push the paper pile along with paper alignment until it against
the back gauge and along the side gauge on the left.
Release the screw of the back gauge and adjust to the accurate measurement for cutting.
Be sure to tighten the screw until move to the precise position.
Swtich the lever of the flick action clamping system backward (near to operator)
when the flick action clamping device touches the paper pile, apply quick pressure to
the handle until the paper pile is secured firmly.
Close the hand guard firmly onto table then safety lock is released
Bring down the knife lever by using both hands. When the cut is completed then move

Light Switch
It will be a bright line to indicate the accurate cutting line when switch on the light.
Cutting Stick
To be made of tough plastic, exchangable. It can be used two times on each side.
Please note : A dull blade does not cut accurately. The cutting of heavy paper or cardboard
more often will blunt the blade easily. If the knife should jam in the paper pile or leave
grooves in the paper, the knife must be changed or re-sharpened right away. Knife life time
with normal paper is approx. 600 times ( tested in max. capacity). Of course, this will vary
with different types of paper. The cutting edge of the knife is extremely sharp. In order to
avoid injuries,the knife has to be handled with the utmost care and knife exchange must
follow our instruction and be excuted by one person only.
BLADE RESHARPENING
OPERATION
All moving parts need to be lubricated and oiled from time to time. Before lubricating,
these parts should be cleaned from paper dust and old deposits of oil and grease.

MAINTENANCE
Check all screws on moving parts periodically ( or after every 200 cuts ) to insure they
have not loosened druing transportation or with continued use. The on-schedule
maintenance will prolong the life of each part and prevent possible down-time.
