3.5.9 Front Guard Switch Adjustment (All Models)

The front guard interlock switches must be adjusted correctly in order for machine to function properly

and safely.

To adjust:

1. Turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

2. Remove and disconnect the display panel, then remove the top cover.

3. Loosen (2) screws that mount the front guard switches (Figure 15) and slide the switches

forward or backward until the actuator lines up with the flat on the hinge rod (Figure 15).

Leave a very slight gap (about the thickness of a strip of paper) between the actuator and flat.

Figure 15

4. Tighten screws, replace top cover and display panel.

5. Perform test found on the back page of the Operator’s Manual to make sure machine works

properly.

3.5.10 Knife/Clamp Sequence Adjustment (Models: A and AEP)

During a normal cut cycle, the clamp moves down until it reaches paper or the table. Once this

happens, the knife begins to come down, and the rest of the cycle is completed. However, if the

sequence adjustment screw is not set correctly, the cut sequence will not function properly. Use the

following chart to determine if adjustments need to be made.

Symptom Solution

When the cut buttons are pressed, the

clamp starts to move but stops before

coming down, and then the knife comes

down.

Rotate the Sequence Adjustment

Screw CLOCKWISE.

When the cut buttons are pressed, the

clamp comes down all the way, but the

clamp motor does not shut off and the

knife does not come down.

Rotate the Sequence Adjustment

Screw COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
