Clearing a Stage 1 Cutting Chamber Jam
Tools and PPE Required:

1.
If Stage 1 experiences a jam, the unit automatically reverses up to five times to clear the jam. If the jam
is not automatically cleared, the unit goes into a timed shutdown mode illuminating solid both the
RESET
button and the
STOP
button.
•
If the unit is ready to run, the RESET button light extinguishes. Go to step 2.
•
If the unit is still jammed, the RESET button remains illuminated solid and the media may have
to be removed manually. Go to step 3.

If the RESET button flashes, see
