6.5 Line Light
The Spartan 185 A comes standard with an LED line light. The line light comes on and stays on
whenever the power is on. To use, simply align paper under clamp, and use the red light line as an
indicator of where the cut will be made.
6.6 Making a Cut
Open the front shield and set the backgauge to the desired position. Place the paper square against
the backgauge and either side guide. Now close the front shield then press and hold both cut buttons
which are indicated in Figure 11 below:
Figure 11 – Cut Buttons
Hold the buttons in until the clamp and knife stop moving. Now release the cut buttons and the knife
and clamp will return to the “up” position and the front shield will automatically open. Note: releasing
the cut buttons or raising the shield at any time during the cut cycle will immediately send the knife
and clamp to the “up” position.
Note: The front shield must be opened and closed each time a new cut is to be made.
See Section 6.9 Operating Tips, page 15 for more information about clamping and cutting.
