User guide

Blades become dull over time depending on the material being
cut, cut rate, blade speed, and blade material and thickness.
Check blades regularly for sharpness as well as scratches,
nicks, burrs, and material buildup. Clean, sharpen or replace
as needed (see Installing Cutter Blades, Section 3).

CSC Servo Knife Cutters UGE047/1003
5-6 MAINTENANCE
DANGER: Sharp blades!
Most injuries caused by knife blades occur
when the cutter has been turned off. Handle
blades with care at all times.
● Always wear cut-resistant gloves when the
cutting chamber is open and when handling
blades.
● Always lock out the cutter before opening the
cutting chamber.
● Always wait until the cutter head has stopped
completely before opening the knife guard.
CSC cutters are equipped with several safety
devices to ensure safe operation. Never remove
or disable these devices to sustain production.
Operating without these devices can cause
severe injury.
● When the knife guard is opened, the knife
guard switch stops the cutter.
● Two proximity-type safety switches prevent
operation unless the cutter bushings are in
place.
● The STOP button activates a circuit that
stops the knife.
