5.1.4 Output Chute
The output chute collects the cut strips at the rear of
the unit and allows them to fall into a receptacle (not
provided with the machine) placed next to the unit.
Removal of the chute during operation will cause the
machine to stop. No warning is displayed, but the
machine will not operate until it is replaced.
See Section 6.5 for details on the optional magnetic
exit guide that can guide material down the chute.
