To reset the display, bring the backgauge to the forward most position. If the backgauge is already at
the forward most position, move the backgauge back by a few turns, then bring it forward again. Now
the display should show the actual position of the backgauge (Figure 8). The position of the decimal
point indicates whether the reading is in inches or millimeters. Two digits to the right of decimal
indicates inches, one digit to the right of decimal indicates millimeters. To switch from inches to mm
and vice versa, press the inch/mm button located next to the display.

6.3 Jogging Aid
Always remove the jogging aid from the table before making a cut.
A jogging aid is included as standard equipment with the Spartan 185 SA. This tool allows the
operator to load and align paper without the need to place hands or arms under the knife or clamp.
To use, load the paper against the side and backgauge using the jogging aid. Remove the jogging aid
from the table, close the shield, clamp the paper, and make the cut.

6.4 Line Light
The Spartan 185 SA comes standard with an LED line light. The line light comes on and stays on
whenever the power is on. To use, simply align paper under clamp, and use the red light line as an
indicator of where the cut will be made.
