The key can be removed to prevent unauthorized use. To activate the machine, turn the key 45º to
the right.
• Re-set button (#14)
Before the knife can be activated on models IDEAL 4850, IDEAL 5250 and IDEAL 6550, the re-
set button has to be pressed to re-establish the “ready to cut” status of the machine. The yellow
pilot light in the viewing window (#10) illuminates and indicates that the machine is ready to cut.
The models IDEAL 4850-90 and IDEAL 6550-90 do not have a re-set button.
• Two-hand operation
Only by pressing the push button switches (#5 and #15) simultaneously (within half a second), can
a cut, with automatic clamping operation, be executed. Keep push buttons depressed until the
knife has reached its lowest position. The paper pile will now have been cut through. As soon as
the push buttons have been release, first the knife and then the paper clamp, return automatically
to their home positions.
• Automatic clamping
When a cut is executed using push buttons (#5 and #15), the paper clamp is also automatically
activated.
Alternatively the clamp can be used independently of the knife by simultaneously pushing push
button switches (#6 and #15). Then by subsequently pushing buttons (#5 and #15), the cut is
executed separately. Then this is completed, both the knife (#20) and the clamp (#17) return
automatically to their home positions.
If the clamp (#17) has been lowered, it can also be returned independently from the knife to its
home position by using push button (#14).
• Automatic knife and clamp return
When a cut is interrupted by releasing both push buttons (#5 and #15), then both the knife and
clamp return automatically to their home positions. If only one of the push buttons is released, the
knife and clamp both stop in the reached position until the second push button is released as well.
• Back gauge crank (#3)
The crank is indirectly connected with the back gauge spindle. The crank is engaged by applying
slight pressure toward the machine. The connection is released by pulling the crank towards the
operator, if the crank is disengaged, the back gauge setting cannot be changed inadvertently.
Turn to the right: back gauge moves towards the knife.
Turn to the left: back gauge moves away from the knife.
For précised setting of the measurement always move the back gauge from the back towards the
knife.
