h. If multiple cuts are to be made at different lengths, set the backgauge side
rakes as follows:
(1) Remove alinement pin from side rake being adjusted.
(2) Loosen locking bolts on side of rake.
NOTE
It may be necessary to remove the locking bolts and place them in another
hole to obtain proper setting.
(3) Set rake to desired position.
(4) Tighten locking bolts.
WARNING
Be sure personnel and foreign materials are clear of the cutting and
clamping area before pressing the cutting buttons. Death or serious
injury may occur.
Always keep the largest area of the material being cut behind the knife.
If the larger area is in front of the knife, it could fly up and
serious injury may occur.
Place paper against backgauge.
i.
NOTE
Be sure paper is fitted tightly against the backgauge rakes and the
side of the table.
Make like paper cuts from same side of knife assembly.
Refer to Table 5-18 for information on setting clamp pressure and the use of
the false clamp.
NOTE
All values indicated in the table are based on manufacturer's experience.
The values for the clamp pressure refer to a pile of paper of medium
height and more than two thirds of the total cutting width of the cutter.
Higher and wider piles of paper need a higher pressure. Lower and narrower
piles of paper need less pressure. Delicate materials (thin, soft) need
the false clamp.
