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 lock out power to the cutter before

opening the cutting chamber.

●Always wear cut-resistant gloves when the cutting chamber is open and when handling blades.

●Always wait until the cutter head has com- pletely stopped before opening the knife guard.

SC-5 Sure Cut cutters are equipped with sever- al safety devices to ensure safe operation. Never remove or disable these devices to sus- tain production. Operating without these devices can cause severe injury.

Never attempt to change or work on Blades without first locking out power to the machine.

●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 cutter head.

Installing the Cutter Blades

1 Shut off the main power disconnect and unplug the main power cord when entering the cutter housing. There is a safety interlock on the cutter blade housing that will deactivate the servo amplifier and control system.

2 Remove the screws holding the blades, remove the old blades and insert the new blades. The blade, or blades as the case may be, will fit onto a roll pin or in a machined slot with a blade clamp to squeeze or tighten. Secure the blade.

For more information about choosing the appropriate blade for your material, see the Appendix B.
