Drawing 21 A - adjusting screw 1 is higher than blade bar lobe 2 – incorrect position,

screw must be unscrewed.

WARNING: The new blade must be supported by its upper edge on the blade bar.

Not obeying this rule may cause machine overload and possible damage if new

blade is higher than the old one.

Note: to prevent the blade cutting edge denting the table surface, put down

a strip of cardboard or similar material.

8.1.2.19. Turn on Power supply by rotating button 3 into position I

8.1.2.20 Turn on electric system by pressing green button 3 (drawing 1

8.1.2.21 Make trial cut.

If blade does not cut correctly through to the last page of the pile, repeat point 8.1.2.7.

8.1.2.22 Mount cover 2, screws 1 (drawing 26)

8.2 Cutting stick change

The cutting quality of the bottom sheets in a stack, and how quickly the blade dulls, depends

on the cutting stick. Changing or rotating the stick is recommended after each change of

the blade, or when bottom sheets are not completely cut.

drawing 27. Changing the cutting stick

8.2.1 Lift cutting stick (1) using a screwdriver (4)

8.2.2 Rotate or replace the cutting stick

8.2.3 Put the new cutting stick into channel between tables and hang it on positioning

drawing 28. Stick usage scheme

The stick can be rotated 4 times In both planes to achieve 4 lines 1,2,3,4. (drawing 28)

Note: The gap between the tables, where the stick rests, must be always clean.

8.3 False clamp

The false clamp can be installed in order to avoid creating marks by the clamp beam

drawing 29. False clamp

False clamp is fixed under the front table (drawing 30).

drawing 30. Location of false clamp plate under the table.

To install the false clamp onto the clamping beam:

8.3.1 Press the buttons (1) (drawing 31) to move clamping beam (5) down

8.3.2 When the clamping beam (5) will go down about 2 cm and uncover the holes for screws (4), release only the right button (1) - left button 1 should be still pressed

8.3.3 Press the button (2) to O to turn off control system

8.3.4 Put the false clamp into the clamping beam – rods of the false clamp should be inserted into the holes on the beam. The false clamp should completely stick to the bottom surface of the beam.

Strongly screw the screws (4) into tapped holes in the beam using Allen key to lock the false clamp onto the clamping beam

Press the button (2) to I to switch on the control system

8.3.7 Press the button (1) to move clamping beam up again

Keep in mind, when the false clamp plate is installed:

• The narrow cut increases to 40mm (without plate 20mm),
• The maximum clamp opening is 76mm (without plate 80mm).

When the false clamp is removed it should be placed under the front table! (drawing 30).

No clamp plate under the table is treated by the program module as if it was mounted in clamp beam and minimal narrow cut is greater.

8.4 Parallelism of back gauge

To adjust the back gauge, use directions and drawings 32 and 33.

drawing. 32 Back table cover removal

To adjust the bar, it is necessary:

8.4.1 to loosen both screws (1), fastening the pushing bar (4) to a slide; drawing 32

9.1.4 Oil change in the gearbox

The gearbox of the knife driving mechanism, shown on drawing 40, is filled with an oil,

and this oil should be changed.

The change should be made after 5 years of intensive working.

It is recommended to use the oil (class GL-5 or MIL-L-2105D). If the other greasing

substance would be used it is necessary to observe the time of change. The oil

should be removed when it is still hot.

Remove down cover 2 (drawing 35)

Remove drain plug 2 (drawing 40) and drain down oil

Close the drain plug

Remove the oil filler cap 1 (drawing 40) and put new oil (approx. 0,5 litre)

Close the filler cap

9.2.Inspections

Carefully clean the machine after each work-shift /paper dust.

Pay attention to cleanliness of the control element contacts /contractors,

Check the cutter screw connections, and tighten them, if necessary.

9.3. Regeneration of knife

The quality and accuracy of cutting depend mainly on the sharpness of the knife and properly

chosen angle of the blade.
