Formax Cut-True 27S - Manual (Page 8)

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
All moving parts with screws should be checked periodically to be sure the screws are tight. They may become loose in
the process of transportation. Users should also check and tighten the screws after more than 200 cutting cycles.
All moving parts should be lubricated and oiled periodically to maintain performance and equipment life. Before lubricat-
ing, these parts should be cleaned to remove paper dust and old deposits of oil and grease.

When the cutting stick is rotated or replaced, or the blade is replaced, the blade height must be readjusted. A blade which
cuts too deeply damages not only the cutting stick but the blade itself. The optimal blade height is when the last sheet in a
stack is cut accurately. The blade height can be adjusted up to 2mm.
ADJUSTING BLADE HEIGHT / CUTTING DEPTH
1. The blade adjustment access is on the right side of the cutter, just behind the fuse panel (see picture, below left).
2. Slide the finger knob down and hold in place to open the access door.
3. Insert the T-wrench from the tool kit into the adjustment slot. To lower the blade (+), turn to the left. To raise the
blade (-), turn to the right.
4. NOTE: You must remove the T-wrench before operating to avoid injury or damage to the cutter.

ROTATING / REPLACING THE CUTTING STICK
The cutting stick is the surface the blade contacts during the cutting process. It can be rotated and used on each side,
4 times altogether.
If the last piece of paper in the stack is not cut through cleanly, and the blade depth has been adjusted properly, the cut-
ting stick should be rotated or replaced.
The cutting stick sits in a channel in the base of the cutter, just below the blade carrier. To remove it, first turn off the
power. Then insert the 5mm screwdriver into the cutting stick access slot (see photo below left) and lift up. Grasp the
cutting stick and remove (see photo below right). Rotate the cutting stick to a new side and re-install.
NOTE: When the cutting stick is rotated or replaced, the blade height must be readjusted. See the next page for blade
height adjustment instructions.
