7.2 Knife Installation
Knives are heavy and always very sharp! Be sure to keep the edge away
from your body and keep other people out of the area while handling the blade. Severe lacerations or
dismemberment could result from careless handling procedures.
1. Make sure the knife and clamp are in the up position. If they are not, switch on the power using
the red and yellow main power switch, close the front shield, and press the cut buttons. This will
send the knife and clamp up.
2. Switch off the machine and unplug the power cord.
3. Pull out the cut stick using the cut stick removal tool and turn it to a new surface. If the cut stick is
not leve
l or flush with the table, 1/2”/6mm strips of paper can be placed in the table slot under the
cut stick to shim it.
4. Remove the retainer screws from the new blade and screw the knife lifters into the new blade.
Screw the lifters all the way in and then back them out a 3/4 turn.
6. Double check to make sure the knife adjusting screws have been backed several turns (step #2,
Knife Removal). Maneuver the knife into place and raise the knife into the knife bar slot as high as
it will go and tighten the lifters.
NOTE : If the blade will not go in, the lifters are screwed down onto the blade too far.
7. Insert two knife bolts with washers into the accessible holes and snug them tight enough to hold
the knife safely, but do not tighten to final tightness.
8. Remove the knife lifters and replace with the other two knife bolts and washers.
9. Place a few sheets of paper over the cut stick, covering the stick end-to-end.
10. Plug in the power cord and switch power on.
11. Locate the Knife Adjust Switch on the control console. Select the Adjust Knife mode, close the
shield, and press the cut buttons to send the knife to the down position. Hold the cut buttons for a
few seconds after the knife reaches the table to prevent it from shifting back up slightly.
12. Switch power off and disconnect the power cord.
13. Turn the knife adjusters down evenly, a small distance at a time, until the knife cuts through the
bottom sheet of paper the entire length of the cut stick (Figure 16). Turning the screws down evenly
prevents uneven wear on the knife and cut stick.
