Thank you for choosing the General Purpose Cutter made by Keencut. Every
effort has been made to bring you a superbly built product with the promise of
many years of good service. In order to obtain maximum benefit from your
machine please read these instructions carefully. For advice and assistance or
replacement parts please contact your distributor or Keencut.
CUTTING DEPTH AND BLADE INFORMATION
The General Purpose Cutter has been designed to cut a
variety of boards to a thickness of 10mm (0.4”) using a
Medium Duty utility blade.
However, an increased cutting depth of 13mm (0.5”) can be
obtained using the KEENCUT XR utility blade, available from
your distributor or Keencut.
Consideration should be given to the toughness of the board being cut and the maximum depth of
cut. It is recommended that heavy materials such as PVC foamboard should only be cut to a
maximum of 6mm (0.25”) whereas, lighter materials like foam centred board can be cut up to
13mm (0.5”) thick using the KEENCUT XR blade
SAFETY
•
The blade must be removed before moving, cleaning or lifting the
Cutter.
•
Only lift or move the Cutter using the Base Plate and keep upright
when doing so.
•
Do not place your fingers near the blade when using the machine.
•
Do not use the Cutter if there are any signs of damage to the
Cutting Head or Cutter Bar Assembly.
It is essential that the cutter is used on a flat surface to cut accurately.
A warped or bowed table top can induce a twist in the Cutter Bar resulting in a
bowed cut.
