while the machine is operating, the latter will stop
automatically. Do not tamper with or attempt to
remove the cuff.
WARNING! Do not attempt to handle the
motor or electrical connections without fi rst discon-
necting outlet B (Fig. 1) from the mains.

2. POSITIONING AND STARTING
UP THE CUTTER
Choose a convenient place on a bench or worktable.
Ensure that there is suffi cient room to handle the
sheets to be cut without obstruction.
WARNING!
Ensure that the power supply voltage corresponds
to that indicated on the characteristics plate of the
cutter.
Connect outlet B (Fig. 1) to the mains and then
4
carry out the necessary adjustments outlined in
the following section.
3. CUTTER ADJUSTMENTS
3.1. Regulating the strip width
The strip width is regulated by loosening fi ngers C
(Fig. 1), which allows the movement of guide D (Fig.
1) for cutting strips from 13 mm (1/2") to 635 mm
(25"). Cutting index E (Fig. 3) shows the width of
the strip to be cut on graduated rule F (Fig. 3).
Position the sheet to be cut against guide D (Fig.
4) in one of two ways:
• For strips of up to 100 mm (4"), in lower channel
G (Fig. 4) of guide D. The strip width in this case
will be read from left side G (Fig. 3) of index E.
• For strips wider than 100 mm (4"), on upper wing
H (Fig. 4) of guide D. The strip width in this case will
be read from right side H (Fig. 3) of index E.
3.2. Regulating the cut of stratifi ed
laminates
With the machine switched off, lift protective cover
A (Fig. 1).
Preliminary adjustment: Place blades I1-I2 tan-
gentially (Fig. 5) using knob J (Fig. 5). Check
that separator wheels M (Fig. 5) are in their lower
position (Fig. 5). Close cover A (Fig. 1) and start up
the cutter by activating switch K (Fig. 1). Then feed
in the sheet to be cut in the position and direction
shown (Fig. 2).
Separator wheels M (Fig. 1 and 5) located behind
blades I1-I2 (Fig. 1 and 5) will bend the sheet where
the cut was made. Then exit chute N (Fig. 1) will
separate the cut strip from the remaining sheet.
Final adjustment: To cut stratifi ed laminates, read-
just blades I1-I2 (Fig. 6), separating them slightly
once again by means of knob J (Fig. 6).
To cut this type of material, the pressure of the
blades on the sheet must be only just enough to
cut the decorative layer of the laminate, not its
entire width. This will provide a cut that is clean
and free of splinters.
WARNING!
If the sheet becomes jammed during cutting,
activate reversing device L (Fig. 1) and the sheet
will move backwards. Then stop the machine by
activating switch K (Fig. 1). Lift cover A (Fig. 1)
remove guide D (Fig. 1) and clean any splinters
or small chips that might have caused the sheet
to be jammed.
