4.0 Installation
WARNING! To prevent serious personal injury, always use a mechanical lifting device, such as a fork lift
or pallet jack, to move the machine or to separate the chassis from the frame.
NOTE: Place the cutter on a flat, level foundation sufficient to support its weight. Be sure to allow ade-
quate work space on all sides of the cutter.
4.1 Leveling the Machine
Level the cutter (check the top surface in two planes) by adjusting the leg leveler in the
bottom of each stand leg. Turn the leg leveler clockwise to shorten the leg length. Turn
the leg leveler counterclockwise to increase the leg length.
4.2 Releasing the Back Gauge
To prevent shipping damage, the back gauge is locked in place by two thumb screws(1)
located near the ends of the top rear surface of the back gauge. Remove these screws
before operating the electric cutter. To do so, first remove the rear safety cover by loos-
ening the crosspoint screws holding the cover to the rear of the shroud and the decks.
Remove the two thumb screws that secure the back gauge and reattach the safety cover.
4.3 False Clamp
The false clamp, made from clear polycarbonate, is used to reduce bruising (marking)
on carbonless paper. It is not necessary to use the false clamp when cutting standard
paper stock. Use of the false clamp affects the minimum cutting distance. When
installed, the minimum cutting distance is 2.370". When not installed, the minimum cut-
ting distance is 1.370". Section 6.0, Operation, includes the false clamp set up informa-
tion. The false clamp is held in place by four (three on the 21" EC) 10/32x3/8 flathead
hex socket screws. To install the false clamp, proceed as follows:

3. Raise the front safety cover.
4. Locate the position of the screws on the bottom of the false clamp. Install and tighten the screws.
4.4 Separating the Stand and Chassis
WARNING! To prevent serious personal injury, always use a mechanical lifting device, such as a fork lift
or pallet jack, to separate the chassis from the frame. The weight of the chassis is unbalanced. Most of
the weight is in the front 2 feet of the chassis.
To separate the chassis from the stand, remove the carriage bolt and acorn nut from the top of each stand leg (see illustra-
tion). Lift the chassis from the stand using a mechanical lifting device. To reassemble the stand and chassis, lower the chas-
sis onto the stand and install the carriage bolt and acorn nut through each stand leg.
4.5 Power Requirements
WARNING! The AC power outlet must be installed near the electric cutter and easily accessible.
The electric cutter is equipped with a 20 Amp power plug (NEMA #6-20P). This cutter requires a 20 Amp circuit with a 20
Amp receptacle (NEMA #6-20R). Have a qualified electrician install the appropriate branch circuit and receptacle.
4.6 Optional Side Tables
To install the optional side tables, align the holes in the tables with the screw holes in the side machine chassis. Install and
tighten the provided screws.

The electronic back gauge can be set at any location from 1.370" from the cut line (2.370" with the false clamp installed) to
21.000" or 26.000", depending on the model. While the back gauge can be operated in either a manual or automatic mode,
the manual mode is the default mode when you power up the machine.
When you power up the machine, the LCD will show the Logo and software revision number, as well as prompting for the
false clamp. The back gauge moves to the Home position as part of the initialization routine. When the back gauge position
is valid at power up, the LCD will prompt:
Press the ENTER key and the back gauge moves toward the Home position at the fast speed. If the back gauge position is
not valid when power is supplied, the LCD will prompt:
Press the ENTER key and the back gauge moves toward the Home position at Slow speed.
In the manual mode, the LCD shows the current back gauge position and the run speed, Fast or Slow. Position the back
gauge by pressing the appropriate jog key. Enter a cutting position by pressing the numerical, decimal point and ENTER
keys. Change the run speed by pressing the SPEED key. Return the back gauge to the initial position at any time by press-
ing the CE key followed by the ENTER key. In manual mode, the initial position is at 26" (21" for the 21" Electric Cutter).
In automatic mode, the initial position is the first position in the series of programmed positions.
In all modes, the final digit will always round to the nearest 0 or 5. For example, if the operator enters the position
‘14.223’, the cutter will automatically round to position ‘14.225’ and go to that position. The same is true for metric untis
only the 2nd decimal place rounds to the nearest ‘0’ or ‘5’ instead of the 3rd.
In automatic mode, the LCD shows the current position of the back gauge:
In this mode, the back gauge moves to predefined positions automatically when Auto Advance feature is activated, or semi-
automatically when Auto Advance feature is off. To review the predefined positions, press the ENTER key. The predefined
cutting positions can be changed. You may cut with the changed positions with or without storing them in the system.
There are two methods to enter a predefined position. For the running method, press the jog keys to move the back gauge
to the desired position. Press the ENTER key to install the current position. For the key entry method, press the numerical
and decimal point keys to select the required position. Press the ENTER key to install the selected position.
There are two types of predefined positions, fixed and variable. The fixed type uses a starting position and moves the back
gauge at a fixed interval automatically when Auto Advance is activated, or semi-automatically when Auto Advance is off.
The variable type moves the back gauge to as many as ten distinct positions automatically when Auto Advance is activated,
or semi-automatically when Auto Advance is off. Return the back gauge to the first operating position at any time by press-
ing the CE key, followed by the ENTER key.
