KEENCUT ADVANCED ROTARY CUTTER Manuel D'instructions page 2

Thank you for choosing the Advanced Rotary Cutter made by Keencut. Every effort has been made to
bring you a superbly built product with the promise of many years of good service. In order to obtain
maximum benefit from your machine please read these instructions carefully. For advice and assistance
or replacement parts please contact
your distributor or Keencut.
The following instructions will refer to
the 'Cutter' which includes both the
Advanced Rotary Cutter and the
Table Edge Advanced Rotary Cutter
unless specified otherwise.
SAFETY
The sliding cutting head contains two very
sharp circular blades and the base has a
blade fixed to it for the full length of the
machine.
•
For safety - do not place your
fingers near the circular knives or
the base blade.
•
For safety - move or pick up the
Cutter using the moulded finger
grips at each end and fit the
protective cover to the fixed blade.
•
Do not use the Cutter if the Cover for
the sliding Cutter Head has been
removed or broken.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE TABLE OR WORK BENCH SURFACE ON WHICH THE CUTTER IS INSTALLED IS
FLAT. IF THE SURFACE IS BOWED IT CAN AFFECT THE STRAIGHTNESS OF THE BLUE PLASTIC CLAMP
STRIP. ENSURE BEFORE USE THE CLAMP STRIP IS CLEAR OF THE CUTTING LINE.
The Cutters have been designed to cut a large range of materials up to a
thickness of 2mm (0.080"). The unique concept of running the cutting head
on a sliding bearing system below the surface of the base enables this
thickness of cut to be maintained irrespective of the length of the machine.
PREPARING THE CUTTER
Pairs of both Metric and Imperial self-adhesive scales are supplied to fit at
each end of the Advanced Rotary Cutter. Select which measuring system
you require and discard the others. To avoid errors place the left hand
scale to the left of the machine and the right hand scale to the right. The
selected scale should be aligned, using the 7½" mark of the Imperial scale
or the 19cm mark of the Metric scale, with the groove on the base plate
indicated by the red arrow sticker. Taking care to maintain the alignment
remove the backing paper progressively while fixing each scale in the
normal way. The red arrow sticker can then be removed.
Remove the red protective cover from the fixed blade before use.
