Safety Instructions

Your safety is paramount. This paper guillotine features a very sharp blade. Always follow these safety guidelines:

• Keep Hands Clear: Never place hands or fingers near the blade area, especially when the cutting arm is raised or being lowered.
• Use Safety Lock: Always engage the safety lock when the machine is not in use or when adjusting paper. The safety lock prevents accidental blade descent.
• Stable Surface: Operate the paper cutter on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping or movement during operation.
• Adult Supervision: This device is not a toy. Keep out of reach of children. Adult supervision is required if minors are present in the work area.
• Proper Handling: Use the extended handle with both hands if necessary to ensure a controlled and smooth cut.
• Blade Maintenance: Do not attempt to sharpen the blade yourself unless you are a qualified technician. A dull blade can cause uneven cuts and require more force, increasing risk.
• One Operator: Only one person should operate the paper cutter at a time.

Setup

Before operating the paper cutter, ensure it is properly set up:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Placement: Place the paper cutter on a sturdy, flat, and level workbench or table. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for safe operation and paper handling.
3. Secure the Handle: Attach the cutting handle to the main body if it is not already installed. Use the provided wrench to tighten any bolts securely.
4. Check Stability: Verify that the non-slip feet are making full contact with the surface to prevent movement during use.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and efficient paper cutting:

1. Prepare Paper: Stack the paper neatly and evenly. The maximum cutting capacity is 300 sheets of 20 lb paper (0.5-4 cm thickness).
2. Unlock Safety: Disengage the safety lock by pressing the red button to the 'ON' position (if applicable, or release the latch).
3. Position Paper: Place the paper stack onto the cutting base, aligning it with the desired measurements on the grid. Use the adjustable backstop for consistent cuts.
4. Secure Paper: Rotate the paper press handle clockwise to lower the paper clamp firmly onto the paper stack. This prevents the paper from shifting during the cut.
5. Perform Cut: Hold the cutting handle firmly with both hands (if preferred for stability) and pull it down in a smooth, continuous motion until the cut is complete.
6. Release Paper: Lift the cutting handle back to its upright position. Rotate the paper press handle counter-clockwise to release the paper clamp.
7. Remove Cut Paper: Carefully remove the cut paper.
8. Engage Safety: Always engage the safety lock after use or when leaving the machine unattended.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your paper cutter:

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the cutting base and blade with a dry, soft cloth to remove paper dust and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Blade Inspection: Periodically inspect the blade for any signs of dullness or damage. A dull blade can lead to uneven cuts and require more force.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of light machine oil to moving parts, such as the pivot points of the cutting arm and the paper press mechanism, to ensure smooth operation.
• Storage: When not in use, store the paper cutter in a dry, clean environment. Always engage the safety lock.
