Formax Cut-True 27S - Manual (Page 9)

CUTTING BLADE MAINTENANCE
The cutting blade is made of heat-treated high-carbon steel and is designed for repeated use. However, over time the
blade will become dull, and not perform to the highest standards. Cutting heavy paper or cardboard will dull the blade
more quickly than thinner paper stock. A dull blade will not cut accurately. Blade lifetime with normal paper is approximate-
ly 1,500 cuts (tested in maximum capacity).
NOTE: If the blade jams in the paper stack or leaves a groove in the paper, it should be changed immediately.
If “CUT1500” appears in the LED display, the blade has completed 1,500 cutting passes. Check the blade to see if it is dull
or still sharp enough to cut through one sheet of copy paper.
If the blade is still sharp and does not need to be replaced, reset the counter with the following steps:
1. Turn the select switch key to the right.
2. Press and hold the right enable switch for at least 5 seconds, while simultaneously turning the select switch key
back to the middle position until the message “CAT” appears in the LED display.
3. Release the right enable switch.
If the blade is not making clean, accurate cuts, check the following:
* Have you rotated or replaced the cutting stick?
* Have you correctly adjusted the height of the blade?
If so, the blade will need to be replaced. The blade can either be re-sharpened by a professional, or it can be replaced
with a new blade. To avoid injury, follow the Blade Changing Procedure and use the Blade Change Safety Tool, included
with the cutter.
