n 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.
SQUARING TEST
Remove the Measuring Arm, the test initially checks the squareness of the Cutterbar to the Endplate.
Take a matboard at least 65 x 65cm (25 x 25”) in size.
1 Clamp it under the Cutterbar and trim of
f appr
ox 1cm (
1
/2”) using the vertical blade, ensuring the bottom edge is
in close contact with the End Plate.
2 Turn the Mat a quarter of a turn counter-clockwise and trim the same amount from the second edge.
3 Repeat for the thir
d edge.
4 And again for the fourth edge, always making sure the bottom edge of the Mat is in close contact with the End Plate.
5 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 End Plate is square to the Cutterbar.
SQUARING ADJUSTMENT
6 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 matboar
d and tur
n 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.
ALIGNING THE MEASURING ARM
Replace the Measuring Arm and raise the Cutterbar using the Lift & Hold. Position a long straight edge along both
faces of the End Plate and onto the Measuring Arm if there is any misalignment loosen the two nuts on the underside
of the Measuring Arm bracket, reposition then r
e-tighten the nuts and r
echeck with the straight edge.
YOU SHOULD NOT NEED TO ADJUST THE SQUARING OF THE MACHINE!
