THEORY OF OPERATION
WARNING: This equipment can cause injury if not used properly. It is the
operator’s responsibility to observe all safety rules and warnings.
WARNING: Be careful not to apply too much pressure to the Die. Too
much pressure will result in the Die bowing, which may prevent the Die
from cutting evenly.
The Rotary Die Slitter is a hand operated machine. The Die rotates by turning the
Handle. The Handle and Die may turn in either direction. Die pressure can be changed
by turning the Die Pressure Screws (see KEY COMPONENTS). Different materials will
require different Die pressures for optimal slitting. The Die Pressure Screws require a
3/16 inch Allen wrench (see CUTTING DIE ADJUSTMENT).
Material to be slit should be placed in the Material Insertion Opening while turning the
Handle in the appropriate direction (see KEY COMPONENTS). Be sure to keep hands
free from Material Insertion Opening. Once the machine begins to slit the material, it
will automatically feed through the remainder of the material as long as the handle is
being turned. Once slit, the material will exit the opposite side of the machine.
CUTTING DIE ADJUSTMENT
The cutting Die of the Rotary Die Slitter is adjusted at the factory for cutting normal 20
pound paper. Cutting of different materials, and long term use, may cause the Die of the
Rotary Die Slitter to need Die pressure adjustments. The following directions describe
adjusting Die pressure for optimal operation.
1. Using a 3/16 inch Allen wrench, loosen the Die Pressure Screws (see KEY
COMPONENTS) so there is no pressure on the Die.
2. Turn each Die Pressure Screw clockwise 1/4 rotation at a time, bringing each Die
Pressure Screw into contact with the Die. Be careful not to tighten the Die
Pressure Screws unevenly.
