GENERAL INFORMATION
Description of the machine 1.10
Correct use of the machine 1.10.1
This machine can be used only to cut media having the allowed basic weight (max paper
thickness 2,2 mm).
As the machine consists of assemblies physically separated and autonomous, the proper
use of the machine can be identified also in the operation of a single part.
Foreseen modes of use
The installation and the extraordinary maintenance of the machine must be carried out by
qualified personnel only.
The machine has been designed to be used in a site having the following features:
• Protection against atmospheric agents.
• Proper illumination.
• Allowed range of temperature: from 18°C to 35°C.
• Allowed humidity range: from 30 % to 80 %.
Incorrect use of the machine 1.10.2
Any use other than that indicated in Section 1.10.1 Correct use of the machine is to be
considered incorrect, especially:
• Using the machine in ways which differ from those which it has been designed for,
represents an anomalous condition and could therefore damage the structure of the
machine.
• Using the machine without its protections and without the safety equipment.
• The non compliance with the procedures described in this manual, and specially those
concerning maintenance and repairing.
• The use of the machine in a site where fire and explosion risks are present, as the
machine is not provided with explosion proof devices.
• Its use in an explosive environment.
• Its use in an inflammableenvironment.

INSTALLATION
Adjustments 4.4
The trimmer should not require any special adjustments, however we suggest checking two
options that could be slightly different, due to the final area of installation of the trimmer.
Planarity
The first thing to check is the planarity of the work table, that could change, due to
differences in level of the floor. To adjust the planarity of the work table follow this
procedure:
• Position the profile of the rigid media with a well trimmed side on the table of the trimmer.
• Check the parallelism between the table and the profile of the rigid material by using the
pin in the center of the cross bar of the upper work table 13. Screw to lower the table,
unscrew to lift.
• Adjust the two supports under the table 14, by screwing or unscrewing the screws, after
13 14
reaching the desired position lock the screws with the two nuts.
Sheet holder adjustment
The second element to check is the height of the Plexiglas sheet holder when the carriage
is on the extreme right or left. Follow this procedure to remove the trimmed material:
• Slide the Allen wrench in the hole of the
15
transparent sheet holder lifting slot 15 and
screw on to reduce the height, unscrew to
increase the height.
