ACCESSORIES ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ARM EXTENSION
Steps to follow in order to install the arm extension for the UpperCut cutter:
1. The same arm extension can be installed either on the right or on
the left side, depending on the position of the foot and the lateral
bracket.
2. Once the position has been defined, fit the screw into the appro-
priate hole and slide the nut into the slot of the foot. Tighten the
screw.
3. If it is required, change the position of the lateral bracket.
4. Fit the rib of the lateral bracket to the horizontal support profile.
5. Level the base of the arm extension with the horizontal support
profile and tighten all the horizontal and vertical screws to fix it.
6. There is the possibility to install an arm extension on each side of the UpperCut vertical cutter.

1. For UpperCut Manual:Assemble the
laser bracket to the cutting head support
using the M4x20 Allen screws supplied.
1. For UpperCut Auto:Assemble the laser
bracket to the cutting head support using
the M4x20 Allen screws supplied. Add the
aluminum spacer supplied between the
bracket and the support.
2. Screw the arm of the laser to the pre-
vious bracket using the M4x16 Allen screw
supplied.
3. Remove the protective cover by loose-
ning the three screws that hold it and the
two handles.
4. Fix the batteries holder to the cutting
head support using the two M4x6 Round
head screw supplied
5. Put the cover back and insert the laser
to its support. Fix it with the M4x16 Allen
screw.
How to adjust the laser?
1. Place the cutting head at the top of the machine and in a position where it does not actually cut the material but only marks it. Simply release
the cutting head backwards a little as explained in figure D on page 23.
2. Place a Foambard sheet and move the cutting head downwards to mark it.
3. Without removing the material, release the cutting head completely backwards and return it to the upper position.
4. Once this is done, match the laser to the mark on the material to adjust it.

SQUARING PROCESS
In order to get a correct cut, the UpperCut needs to be squared properly. Follow the next steps if the UpperCut is not squared, using a full sheet of
foam board 100 x 150 cm.
Step 1. Checking for squareness:
1. Place the semi-rigids cutting head to the cutting head holder.
2. Put the board on the right side of the machine vertically.
3. Set the right measuring stop at 90 cm.
4. Place the board to the measuring stop and hold it using the pneumatic clamp.
5. Cut the material.
6. Turn over the sheet of material like a page in a book – keep the bottom side on the bottom.
7. Set the measuring stop at 2 cm less than the initial cutting size (88 cm) and make a second cut.
8. Remove the sheet, measure the top edge and the bottom edge.
• If the machine is square, the two measurements should measure the same.
• If the machine is not square, the top and bottom measurements will not be the same.
If the top edge is greater, then the steel cylinder from the adjusting screw system has to be raised (A). If the top edge is smaller, then the steel
cylinder has to be lowered (B).
Note: It is important to record your measurements as the error is equal to ½ the dierence of the measurements you recorded. For example, if the
dierence between the top and bottom measures 4 mm, the machine is out of square by 2 mm.
Step 2. Squaring the machine:
1. Keep measuring stop at the same size (88 cm).
2. Loosen the screws from the lateral brackets (1, 2) and the nut from the left column of the main assembly (3). Check that the nut from the right
column (4) is properly tight.

ADJUSTING THE UPPERCUT
SQUARING PROCESS
Step 3.
Place the board on the machine, touching the measuring stop:
• If the material was greater at the top:
- Lower the cutting head so that it is positioned 1 millimeter above the top edge.
- Adjust the horizontal support group by raising the steel cylinder (turn the adjustment screw clockwise, viewed from above (A)) until the material
has passed the edge of the blade by 2 mm (in this example).
•If the material was smaller at the top:
-Lower the cutting head so that it is positioned 1 cm down from the top edge. Make sure that the material is touching the edge of the blade.
-Adjust the horizontal support group by lowering the steel cylinder (turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise, viewed from above (B)) until
the gap between the material and the blade reaches 2 mm (in this example).
4. To verify that the machine is aligned, move the measuring stop 2 cm less (in this case 86 cm) and repeat Step 1, starting at point 4.
5. Keep repeating the above procedure until the machine is aligned.
6. Tighten the screws (1, 2) and the nut (3).
