5.6 False Clamp Plate (Optional)
To prevent marking on pressure sensitive jobs, a false clamp plate is available as an optional item for
your machine. This plate attaches to the bottom of the clamp. It is secured with wing nuts on studs
that pass through the top of the clamp.
To install:
1. Make sure the knife and clamp are in the up position. If they are not, turn on the power using the
red and yellow main power switch and press the CLEAR button. This will preset the backgauge
and send the knife and clamp up.
2. Turn the power off and disconnect the power cord.
3. Slide the false clamp plate under the clamp and up into position with the locator pins toward the
rear of the machine. The locator pins insert into holes in the bottom of the clamp.
4. Hold the plate in position and secure with the (3) setscrews located in the lower front face of the
clamp (Figure 12).
5. Change the false clamp setting of the machine to ON to
prevent the backgauge from crashing
into the false clamp plate.
This is done in the Maintenance Mode/Parameters/False Clamp
screen. For more details on how to do this, see page 25
.
NOTE
: The minimum cut with the false clamp plate attached is 1-7/8
