4. When setting the Horizontal Scales, start with the left one. Take your board and slide it into
the machine until the 6" marking lines up with the blade, and clamp into place. Slide the
measuring scale so that it aligns precisely with the left edge of the material. Apply double-
sided tape behind the left Horizontal Scale to make sure it doesn’t move.
5. To set the right side Horizontal Scale, slide the foamboard into the machine and adjust the
6" line so the blade lines up over it, and clamp into place. Adjust the right scale to the right
edge of the material until it is aligned precisely. Apply double-sided tape behind the right
Horizontal Scale to make sure it doesn’t move.
2.3 Adjust the Vertical Track / Clamping Assembly
The Vertical Track Assembly consists of two parts – a stationary “anvil” and a moveable clamp. The
clamp holds the material firmly against the stationary part so that the material does not move during
the cutting stroke. If the material moves, or is not firmly held at the bottom, adjust the bottom
eccentric assembly on the lower left side of the Vertical Track Assembly to apply proper clamping. If
it moves or is not firmly held at the top, adjust the top eccentric assembly on the upper right side of
the Vertical Track Assembly to apply proper clamping. This section describes the adjustment and
verification procedures for both areas.
 Note: In most cases, if material moves at
either the bottom or top, adjust both
identical eccentric assemblies
(eccentrics). This ensures that there is
no material slippage, the cutting stroke
is even, and the need for repeating the
procedure later for the other eccentric is
eliminated.
1. Remove material from the FSC.
2. Fold an 8½" x 11" sheet of paper so it creates a
thickness of four (4) sheets (0.012").
3. Slide the folded paper between the center
stationary part and the moveable clamp as shown
at the right (Figure A).
4. Lower the Clamp Lever fully so that the stationary
part and the moveable clamp are firmly together.
5. To verify clamping, attempt to remove the folded
paper. If the paper cannot be removed, the center
stationary part and moveable clamp have proper
clamping. If the paper can be pulled out, adjust both
the bottom and top eccentrics to provide proper
clamping for this area.
6. Raise the Clamp Lever fully and remove the paper.
7. The bottom eccentric is shown at the right, Figure B. (the top is identical in purpose and
procedure). Loosen the M6 Locking Screw (5mm hex key) so that the 15mm Hex Head
eccentric adjustment can be turned.
8. Slide the folded paper between the bottom stationary part and the moveable clamp.
