P rior to I nstallation

Inspect the crate and machine for damage. Shipping damage should be brought to the immediate attention of the delivering carrier.

WARNING: Do not attempt to move the machine across anything other than a flat, level surface without trained and qualified riggers. You can be severely injured or crushed.

The ProCut 20P Series Cutter is a large and heavy piece of equipment. It is not designed to be tipped up or tipped sideways in anyway.

Prepare the site:

Allow enough room to access all sides of the machine. Refer to the illustration on the next page.

2. Ensure the floor is stable and a flat surface capable of supporting the weight of the machine and any materials. All four foot pads should be able to be positioned completely on a level and smooth surface.

L ocation

The ProCut 20P should be located in a space that allows adequate room to operate the machine. Allow at least six inches behind the machine. It is recommended that a media table be used to stage the sheets to be cut. A second media table is recommended for finished material. Keep the working area of the cutter free from clutter.

Avoid locating the cutter in a high traffic area. When not in use, the ProCut 20P can be unplugged.

The Jogging Aid is used to register the paper against the Back Gauge.

The Clamp activates first, pressing and holding down the media to ensure a clean cut. The Cutting Blade then cuts the stack. The blade should be sharpened or replaced every 2000 – 3000 cuts based on 20 lb. bond paper. Cutting Blades can be sharpened multiple times but it is recommended not to remove more than 8mm off the blade. The number of times you can sharpen the blade will depend on the types of media being cut.

At the end of its useful life, your product is considered to be Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). As such, it is important to note that:

Figure 21. Blade Adjustment

WEEE is not to be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste. It is to be collected separately such that it can be disassembled so its components and materials can be recycled, re-used, and recovered (burned for energy content in electricity production). Public collection points have been set up by municipalities for the collection of WEEE, free of charge to you. Please return your WEEE to the collection facility nearest your home or office. If you have difficulty locating a collection facility, the retailer that sold you the product should accept your WEEE. If you are no longer in contact with your retailer, please contact ACCO for assistance with this matter. Recycling of WEEE is geared toward protecting the environment, protecting human health, preserving raw materials, improving sustainable development, and ensuring a better supply of commodities in the European Union. This will be achieved by retrieving valuable secondary raw materials and reducing the disposal of waste. You can contribute to the success of these goals by returning your WEEE to a collection facility. Your product is marked with the WEEE symbol (wheelie bin with an X through it). This symbol is to inform you that WEEE is not to be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste.
