Loading the Material

Loadable Material Sizes

Width:	50 to 700 mm
Length:	Flat Material: 100 mm or more, Roll Material: no restriction

1. Make sure the loading lever is lowered.
   
   
2. Pass the material through the machine, and pull out the material until its leading edge is positioned over the guide lines.
   
   
   
   • Using the roller base
   
   
   
   Pull out a length of material that is slightly longer than the amount needed for cutting, leaving some slack.
   If you don't, the material cannot be fed correctly.
   
   
   
   • Not using the roller base
   
   
   
   In the case of a roll material, cut off the amount of material needed for cutting.
   
   
3. Align the left edge of the material within the boundaries of the wide marks at the far left, and align the right edge within the boundaries of one of the narrow marks.

4. Move the pinch rollers so that they are positioned at the edges of the material and also inside the areas of the pinch-roller position-verification marks.
   
   
   
   Be careful to position the pinch rollers so that they are not too close to the edges of the material and do not extend beyond the edges of the material.
   
   • Using roll material or lengthy flat material
   
   
   
   Position the pinch rollers so that each one is 25 mm (1 in.) or more from the respective left or right edge of the material.
   
   
   
5. Align the left edge of the material so that it lies parallel to the guide lines.
   
   
   
   
6. Raise the loading lever.
   The material is secured in place.
   
   * Do not use excessive force when moving the loading lever. Doing so may damage it.
   * If the condition of the material is as described below, then stretch or flatten it before use.
   • The material is curled upward.
   • The leading edge of the material is bent or creased.
