Professional-Grade Trimmer

Maintenance

To avoid damaging the trimmer, never immerse it in water or other liquids.

Do not use abrasive cleaners on the trimmer.

Do not use the trimmer without the safety shield installed properly.

NOTE

1. Please use a dry cloth to wipe the surface of the trimmer. Do not pour water
directly onto the machine.

2. All moveable parts must be lubricated and oiled periodically. Before
lubricating, these parts should be cleaned from paper dust and oil deposits.

3. If the blade has become dull, please contact your dealer to replace or sharpen
it. The blade should only be replaced or sharpened by a trained professional.

4. Please regularly inspect the effectiveness of the blade friction mechanism.

If the blade is easily dropping down after being raised, remove the plastic cap
and use a wrench to tighten the screws on both sides. (See diagram below.)

Parts Identication

Assembling the Safety Shield

1. Hold the blade handle and carefully release
the blade lock.

2. Raise the blade to its full upright position.
This will open the clamping bar. When the
blade is in the full upright position, you will
hear a “lock” sound. The handle will not drop
down until you push it. NOTE: Failure to raise
the blade fully will reduce the sheet capacity.

3. Insert paper and adjust the side guide to the
desired location.

4. Lower the blade in a slow, steady motion
to cut the paper. The paper stack will be
clamped automatically.

Raise the blade fully to unclamp and (re)move
the paper stack.
