PRO CUT OFF GAUGE INSTRUCTIONS Step 1 Position the work piece in the Brake and close the Brake to loosely hold the material. Attach a Cut Off Gauge near each end of the material. Do this by placing the clip opening against the back edge of the Locking Anvil and pulling it sharply forward until it locks in place. Make sure the clip is as far forward as it can go. Flip the Cut Off Gauges up and out of the way. Attach Pro Cut Off Gauge Step 2 To set up for first time use, measure back from the edge near each end of the workpiece and make a mark. Flip the Cut Off Gauges down. The ends of the Cut Off Gauges indicate where the Cut Off will make the cut. Move the workpiece until the marks align with the ends of the gauges, then lock the brake. CUT LINE I-0110 12308 4/5/04
Step 3 Flip the Gauges up and out of the way of the Cut Off and make the cut. Look at the cut relative to your marks. Due to variations in Cut Offs, it may be necessary to adjust your future marks to compensate for any differences. Step 4 When working with shorter lengths of material, the Gauge can be re-positioned by sliding it along the Anvil. It can be removed by pulling down on the bottom of the clip and sliding it off. Another way is to simply push sideways on the end of the Gauge to force the Clip off the Anvil. The raised tab on the Gauge makes a convenient place to hook a Tape Measure for layout. The tab is positioned to match the nose of the Anvil or the bend point of the workpiece.

PORT-O-SLITTER SETUP AND OPERATION 1. ASSEMBLY OF YOUR PORT-O-SLITTER Remove the contents of the PARTS BAG, which should include 2 T WRENCHES and the CRANK HANDLE ASSEMBLY. Install the HANDLE and tighten the SET SCREW against the flat on the SHAFT. Make sure that the HANDLE turns freely without interference. 2. PORT-O-SLITTER OPERATION SLITTING A. Loosen the SET SCREWS on the LOWER SLITTING KNIFE and slide the KNIFE KNIFE SHAFT into the cutting position by aligning the cutting edge of the KNIFE with the desired measurement on the TAPE MEASURE. Tighten the SET SCREW. IMPORTANT: Tighten all SET SCREWS against the FLATS of the SHAFTS only. Carefully slide the upper SLITTING KNIFE against the lower KNIFE and tighten that SET SET SCREW SCREW securely using the T WRENCH provided. To avoid damaging the SLIT- TING KNIVES, do not BANG the KNIVES together when adjusting them. To make more than one simultaneous cut repeat this procedure with the other KNIVES. If only one cut is being made, move the remaining KNIVES at least three inches apart to avoid cutting or marking your material. B. Next, adjust the right and left COIL GUIDE BARS. In most cases, set the right COIL GUIDE BAR at zero on the tape measure, place the right edge of the material into the slot, then draw the left COIL GUIDE BAR to the left edge of the material and tighten the knurled knobs. Periodically check COIL GUIDE BARS for squareness. C. Now push the material into the SLITTER while turning the CRANK HANDLE counterclockwise. NEVER PLACE HANDS OR CLOTHING NEAR KNIVES WHILE IN OPERATION. D. For maximum performance during the slitting operation, keep the material flat over the front RECEIVER ROLLER as the material exits. E. When slitting harder and thicker materials, or if twisting of the material occurs, separate the KNIVES a few thousandths of an inch to provide a better cut. F. When slitting close to one edge of wide material, it may be helpful to lightly hold the material down on the COIL TABLE surface in order to keep it from bowing upwards. 3. PORT-O-SLITTER OPERATION RIB FORMING A. To form RIBS for stiffening and decoration, set the KNIVES approximately 1/8" apart. Experiment to achieve different effects. Refer to section 4 below for more information. 4. KNIFE CONFIGURATION AND SET-UP Standard KNIFE configurations which can be used are shown below. QUICK GUIDE 1. CRANK HANDLE ASSEMBLY 2.

MAINTAINING AND LUBRICATING YOUR PORT-O-SLITTER Keep a light film of protective oil on the SHAFTS, DRIVE GEARS, SET SCREWS, and when not in service, the KNIVES. Always inspect KNIVES for dirt and other foreign matter before using. Never clean knives while slitter is in operation. To clean knives, spread knives then run a soft cloth over the knife surfaces. The SLITTING KNIVES can be re-sharpened on a Surface or Blanchard Grinder. Grind ONLY the sides to regain a new sharp edge. Do not grind the outside radius of the KNIVES. Periodically check the squareness of the stationary COIL GUIDE BAR with a framing square against the SHAFTS or SLITTING KNIVES. Re-square when necessary. CAUTION: Always observe safe work practices when cleaning, maintaining and operating this equipment. To avoid injury, keep your fingers, hands, clothing and other objects away from the SLITTING KNIVES when this machine is in operation. ACCESSORY INSTALLATION: Perforating Rolls, Grooved Knife Set, Nylon Pinch Rollers PERFORATING ROLLS INSTALL MALE ROLL ON TOP SHAFT, FEMALE ON BOTTOM. GROOVED KNIFE SET INSTALL MALE ROLL ON TOP SHAFT, PLACE SCRAPER IN GROOVE ON FEMALE ROLL. SLIDE BOTH ON BOTTOM SHAFT. NYLON PINCH ROLLERS INSTALL DIRECTLY OVER EACH OTHER. (SEE PAGE 8 FOR FURTHER DETAILS) Remove the hex nut from the tie bar. Slide the end cap out of the bearing support. 4 3 Remove the handle cap screws and washers, set handle and cover aside. 2 10 To reassemble, reverse the following steps remembering to realign the tie bar and receiver roller to the bearing support as you slide it back in place. Place wooden shims under each shaft for support. 6 5 Remove the coil table shoulder bolts, nylon washers and nylox hex nuts. Set coil table aside. The nylon washers are of varying thicknesses, reinstall in the same sequence as removal. Gently tap bearing support free from the shafts. At this point the front receiver roller will dislodge. Set it to the side. Make sure to reposition it during reassembly. 8 9 After applying a light coating of oil to all parts and surfaces, slide knives, or perforating roll set onto shafts far enough to be able to reattach bearing support. Align set screws to shaft flat. As a general rule, always install perforating set to the end of shafts. START 1 Place slitter on a stable bench top with end extended over edge just enough to expose the 4 cap screws underneath the bearing housing. Remove all 4 cap screws from underneath bearing support. 7 3
