Solutions

Rotate the cutting stick. Check the blade adjustment. Make sure the blade cuts slightly into the cutting
stick. Sharpen or replace the blade. (See Sections 7.)

Check the blade adjustment. Make sure it is level and cuts slightly into the cutting stick. Check the cut-
ting stick to make sure it is not bowed. (See Section 7.)

Make sure the power cord is plugged into a 20 Amp (NEMA #6-20R) receptacle. Check the 2A (F1) input
power fuse. Replace, if necessary. Check the key switch to make sure it is in the on position. (See Section 4.)

Reset the 12 Amp circuit breaker. Check to make sure the key switch is in the on position. Make sure
both blade switches are being pressed at the same time. Press the reset button and make sure the ready
light is on. Make sure the back gauge is not moving. (See Sections 2, 3, 4, 6.)  Check to make sure the
front safety cover is in the lowered position.

Reset the 7 amp circuit breaker. Make sure the key switch is in the on position.  Press the reset button
and make sure the key switch is in the on position. Make sure both clamp switches are being pressed at
the same time. Press the reset button and  check that the ready light is on. Make sure the back gauge is
not moving.  (See Sections 3 & 6.)  Check to make sure the safety cover is in the lowered position.

Press the reset button. Check the operation of the blade limit switches. (See Section 2, 3, & 6.) Verify
that the key switch is on.  Check the 2 Amp fuse.  On Models PL2620, and PL2120: Check the opera-
tion of the clamp limit switch.

The blade is dull. Sharpen the blade. The dull blade may have caused the thermal protection of the blade
drive motor to stop the motor, Make sure the blade drive cooling fan is operating. (See Sections 6 & 7.)

Too much paper has been loaded which has disabled the upper clamp limit switch.  (See Section 6.) 

Make sure power is on. Check the 2 Amp fuse (F1). Replace, if necessary. Check the circuit breaker
and reset, if necessary. Check the light bulbs and replace, if necessary.  (See Sections 2, 4, 6, & 7.)

Check for loose or damaged cable and cable connections. Ensure that the cable is tight. Check that all
cable pulleys rotate freely.  Recalibrate tape position (Section 7.7).
