5. OPERATION
The trimmer must only be used by trained and qualified personnel.
The trimmer must be used only for trimming material for which it has been designed.
For recommended maximum cutting thickness see page 14.
1. The trimmer should be positioned on a level surface in an area with adequate lighting and enough
work space for feeding materials. Connect the power cord to the AC outlet and turn the Power switch
to the ON position. The machine should be operated from the front of the machine only.
2. To begin trimming material, position the material to be trimmed on the front feeding table (Fig. 5-1)
and measure the cut by using the scales present at either side of the feed table or by the guideline.
Do not lean against or put any object on the feeding table during trimming.
3. When the material is properly positioned press the activation bar (Fig. 5-2) anywhere along the length
of the trimmer to activate the cutting blade or step on the foot pedal (Fig. 5-3) to activate the cutting
blade. The material can now be removed or repositioned for another cut.
