Changing the Knife
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to sharp objects!
The knife on the separation unit has a sharp edge that
can cause slight hand injuries through direct contact.
–
The edge should never be touched directly.
Only hold the knife by the knurled nuts and with
the blade away from your body.
NOTE!
Wearing protective gloves protects the skin from contact
with skin damaging materials. During work steps in
which you work with printing materials or cleaning
agents, we always recommend wearing protective
gloves.
The knife is a wearing part and is to be replaced at the first signs of
wear (bluntness, damage).
Required Accessories
Safety gloves, paper towels, replacement blade

Wear protective gloves on your hands.

Caution! Watch out for material dripping from the collection
basket. Hold the basket at a slight angle towards the back to
prevent material from leaking out. Also place a paper towel
directly underneath the basket opening.

Open the knife protection device: Grasp the knife protection
device by the retaining tab and pull it towards your torso as far

Grasp the knife by the black knurled thumb nuts and pull the

towel. Make sure that the blade is not pointing up in the air and
position the knife with the blade away from the body.
