guidelines and individual product datasheets
4.1
Flexproof cutting of the belt/tape
Pull the indexing plunger (21) and move the cutting head slider (11) to the middle of the cutting
pad (2).
Adjust the height of the blank holder (13) by the two screws depending on the belt/tape thickness.
Unscrew the four knobs (18) and lift the two belt clamps (transparent plates) (3/4).
Insert belt/tape and align properly its edge to the four side pins. Watch for good alignment. Otherwise
the fingers of the cut belt/tape ends might not match properly.
Pull the indexing plunger (21) and move the cutting head slider (11) to the alignment pins direction.
Release the indexing plunger (21) in the way that the pin enters the first hole.
Carry out first cutting stroke by pressing down lever (16).
Pull the indexing plunger (21) and move the cutting head slider (11) one step to the next indexing
hole. Release the indexing plunger (21) in the way that the pin enters the hole.
Carry out the successive cutting stroke by pressing down lever (16).
Repeat the operations until the belt/tape is completely cut.
INDICATION
