SQUARING THE CUTTER BAR AND MEASURING ARM TO THE END PLATE is carried out in our factory before
despatch of all new machines. Therefore adjustment should never be necessary.
Remove the Measuring Arm.
Take a matboard at least 65 x 65cm (25 x 25”) in size.
Clamp it under the Cutterbar and trim off approx 1cm (
1
/
2
”) using the vertical blade, ensuring the bottom edge is
in close contact with the End Plate.
Turn the Mat a quarter of a turn counter-clockwise and trim the same amount from the second edge.
Repeat for the third edge.
And again for the fourth edge, always making sure the bottom edge of the Mat is in close contact with the End Plate.
Rotate the Mat a quarter of a turn counter-clockwise but this time place the bottom edge on the End Plate and slide it
to the left until it comes into contact with the Cutterbar. If the Mat comes into contact with the Cutterbar along its
whole length the machine is square.
If there is a gap between the matboard and the Cutterbar, then this gap represents four times the error of
the machine.
Adjust the angle of the End Plate by turning the Squaring Adjustment Screw with the 5mm hexagon wrench. Turn it
clockwise to adjust if the gap is at the bottom of the matboard and turn it counter-clockwise to adjust if the gap is at
the top of the matboard.
Close the gap between the Cutterbar and the End Plate by a quarter.
Repeat the test and make further adjustments if necessary.
