Cutting the material
When there is less than one foot remaining to be measured the machine will automatically slow down and
stop precisely at the programmed length. Before activating the cutter ensure the length of cut that the
counter registers is the desired length and if it is not jog the material accordingly; now lower cutter safety
bar and turn cutter switch knob in the direction the cutter needs to travel. Release knob when cutter
reaches the end.
Note:
When processing 15’ wide material the cutter should be stored at the
control panel
end of the
machine. If the cutter is left at the far end of the machine it may interfere with the material as it
moves across the
inspection table
.
Sharpening the blade
The cutting system on the IVC 15 is equipped with a self-sharpening mechanism – it is not necessary to
remove the blade for sharpening. When the blade reaches the front end of the machine a “clutch” en-
gages leaving the blade stationary while rotating against the sharpening mechanism. To sharpen the
blade simply keep the cutter engaged when it reaches the end of the cutting track. It is recommended
that the blade be sharpened for 7 to 10 seconds after every 50 cuts.
Wrapping the cut length
To wrap the cut length, keep the roll-up cradle
roller directional switch
in the forward position and place
the load cradle
roller directional switch
in the off position. Place the wrapping material inside the flap of
the material you are wrapping. Stepping on the
foot cable control
will rotate the roll, letting you wrap the
material while it is still on the machine.
Caution:
Keep hands and all loose clothing away from moving parts.
