IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
• This product is a label slitter. It is only to slit rolls of labels in an indoor, dry environment.
• Use extreme caution when manipulating the blades.
• Do not adjust the blades while slitting.
• The machine is to be used on a flat surface, if the surface is not flat, it is to be fixed using
the holes in the base plate.
• Do not leave the power cable of the counter in a passageway.
• The ambient light of the working area needs to be sufficient to avoid any risk.
• Connection of the machine to the power source must respect local and European
legislations
SET-UP AND USE:
1. Place the S-100 or S-200 Label Slitter so that it is perpendicular to the web of labels
to be slit. Observe the Paper Path Label on the Slitter.
2. Loosen the Black Knob holding the red Blade Cover Shield and raise the Shield to
the vertical position.
3. Rotate the Black Knob assembly approximately one-half turn so it is facing down and
out of the way.
4. See WARNING NOTICE above. Rotate the blade holder shaft slightly to lift the Blade
Holders from the round white Nylon Fixed Paper Guide.
5. Being careful to avoid contact with the cutting blades feed the label web under the
Rotating Paper Guide and over the Fixed Paper Guide.
6. Adjust the position of the rings on the Rotating and Fixed Paper Guides to the width of
your label web. Only finger tighten the screws. If you have the PC-1 Preset Counter,
the labels must pass through the sensor slot.
7. Pull the label web through and affix it to the label rewind core on the Label Rewinder.
8. Being careful to avoid contact with the cutting Blades, adjust the position of the Blade
Holders as desired. To do this, loosen the white Nylon set screw of the Blade Holders
and slide the Blade Holders in or out as needed. Finger tighten the white Nylon set
screw to hold the adjustment. Do not over tighten.
9. Extend the cutting blades as required using the black click-stop adjustment on the
side of each knife. THE BLADE TIP MUST EXTEND WELL PAST THE ROUND
WHITE NYLON ROD SO THE CUTTING BLADE ITSELF IS RESTING ON THE
WHITE NYLON.
10. Being careful to avoid contact with the cutting Blades, rotate the Blade Holders
down until the cutting blades rest lightly on the Fixed Paper Guide. The Blades
must pierce the label
11. Now lower the red Blade Shield to the Blade Holders.
12. Secure the red Blade Shield by rotating the small Black Knob assembly into the slot
on the red Blade Shield and tightening the small Black Knob until it is snug. The
Blades will press into the Nylon bar.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
NOTE: If the red Blade Shield does not press on all Blade Holders equally, loosen
the mounting nuts for the Blade Shield Hinge on the Chassis and reposition them
until the Blade Shield is “level” with the Blade Holders.
13. Start the Label Rewinder and the printer (if used). Adjust the speed of the Label
Rewinder as required. See the CAT-3 User Manual for details.
14. To make fine adjustments to the position of the blades over the web AS A SET, use
the large black adjustment knob marked “LIFT BLADES TO ADJUST.” NOTE:
ALWAYS LIFT THE BLADES FROM THE LABEL WEB TO MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS. USE CAUTION TO AVOID CONTACT WITH THE CUTTING
BLADES.
15. When the slitting action becomes impaired because of dull Cutting Blades, the
Blades can be clicked down within their holders to expose an unused area of the
cutting blade. In this way, blade life is greatly extended. If desired, the used up part
of the Blade can be snapped off at one of the score lines.
16. When the cutting blades are completely worn out, replace them with LABELMATE
HSB-10 High Speed Cutting Blades.
OPTIONAL PC-1 PRESET COUNTER SET-UP:
1. For Auto-Stop, plug a Control Cable (with 3.5mm plugs at each end) between the
External Halt Jack on the PC-1 and the “EXTERNAL HALT CONTROL” Jack on the
CAT-3 Label Rewinder.
2. The Counter is pre-programmed as a Count-Up Preset Counter. For other modes,
refer to the Counter Data Sheet that is part of the documentation package.
3. Successively press the Buttons below each digit to enter the desired count and then
press the Red Reset/Enter Button.
4. Pull a short strip of labels back and forth through the Label Sensor Gap and observe
the count on the Counter increasing.
5. When the preset number of Labels is reached, the Counter will stop the S-100/S-200
and the External Halt Control Relay will open, serving as a “Halt” Command for the
CAT-3 Label Rewinder. Press the red Reset/Enter Button to reset the count & restart
the CAT-3.
