Sinclair Cutting System manual Operation, Adjustment of length

H.Operation

I.Adjustment of length

According to the length of cloth required to be cut off, move the end stop and clamping device from the center of the guide rail to the inner side of the end rail until the distance corresponds to the required length of cloth. Lock the movable supports in position by means of the clamping lever (560-415).

II. Laying out and clamping down the cloth

Draw the cloth over the guide rail up to the inner side of the end rail, taking care that the cloth runs parallel to the longer edge of the table.

Raise the end rail until the end of the cloth drops; lower the end rail; the cloth is now clamped.

III. Cutting off and clamping down

Pull the cutting machine by the handle towards the operators side of the table. The upper blade starts to rotate automatically.

The speed at which the cutting machine is pulled across the cloth must be judged to suit the type of material to be cut, and twisting sideways must be avoided.

Push the cutting machine back into its starting position until it switches off automatically.

Lift the guide rail until the cut material drops down. Lower the rail again and the cut off material is clamped down.

The cut-off length of material is now clamped at both ends so that it cannot slip, additional laying- out operations can follow until the desired number of layers is reached (up to a max height of 20 cm for the piled layers).
