  Jeremiah RuizAug 1, 2025
  If some sheets remain uncut, it could be due to several reasons: * The cutting stick may be worn out. In this case, change the face of the cutting stick. * The knife may be worn out, so replace it. * The cutting depth might not be adjusted correctly; after replacing the knife, adjust the cutting depth. * The height of the knife is less than 95 mm (3.75"), because of re-sharpening. Do not use a knife if the height is less than 95 mm (3.75"). Use a new knife. * The knife is installed incorrectly, so reinstall the knife correctly.

Why is the bottom sheet longer than the top sheet in Horizon Fitness Paper Cutters?

  Karen MendozaAug 5, 2025
  If the bottom sheet is longer than the top sheet, here are several possible causes and solutions: * The sheets may not be aligned correctly by the backgauge. Check that the sheets are aligned correctly. * Air may be trapped between the sheets, so remove any air before cutting. * The clamp pressure may be too light, causing the sheets to move, so increase the clamp pressure. * The knife may be worn out, causing the sheets to move, so replace the knife. * The backgauge may not be at a right angle to the table, so adjust the angle of the backgauge.
