4. Once you are comfortable with the single sheet performance of card slitting, a stack of stock
may be slit. WARNING: Only install stock into the slitter while it is ‘off’. Attempting to
load stock while the slitter is running may result in injury or damage to the machine.
5. Turn slitter ‘ON’, it should feed and slit the stock one sheet at a time. If double feeds or
hesitates, follow the steps below:
a. Paper guides too tight will result in hesitant feeds; try loosening paper guides slightly
as outlined in Section III.
b. Retarder too loose or too tight will result in double or hesitant feeds. Slightly adjust
retarder as outlined under retarder adjustment in Section III. Usually only a slight
turning of the retarder adjustment knob is needed to allow the slitter to function.
c. For difficult to feed stocks, substantial improvement can be made in feeding through the
use of the supplied stack weights. See Figure #13 for correct use of stack weights. They
can significantly improve the feed of curled or otherwise difficult to feed stock.
