Turning Over Or Replacing The Cutting Pad - Ellison Prestige PRO Manual De Instrucciones

Turning Over or Replacing the Cutting Pad

Prestige Pro should cut five to eight layers of construction paper with one pull of
the handle, without using scissors.
Turning the Cutting Pad Over
Please note that these instructions apply to both the PR Standard Cutting Pad
and the CPR Premium Cutting Pad.
Turn Cutting Pad over routinely (weekly for high usage), for even wear on both sides.
Note: If a Cutting Pad is not turned routinely and is severely worn on one side,
it may cause a slight warping of the pad, thereby making it impossible to use the
reverse side. Properly discard the Cutting Pad and replace with a new one (see
below). NEVER place any material on top of dies.
Replacing the Cutting Pad
Please note that these instructions apply to both the PR Standard Cutting Pad
and the CPR Premium Cutting Pad.
1. When both sides of Cutting Pad no longer cut at least four sheets of
construction paper with one pull of the handle, or scissors are required to
complete a cut, the Cutting Pad needs to be replaced.
2. Slide the Cutting Pad (Figures L and M, page 10) out of the machine and
properly discard.
3. Remove and save all Mylar Shims (Figure M) under the Cutting Pad.
4. Replace the Step Shim Assembly in the machine, making sure the Step
Shim Assembly Tab (Figure M, Inset) is securely inserted in the Shim Clip
(Inset). Keep the Step Shim Assembly in the machine AT ALL TIMES to
properly distribute cutting pressure in the machine.
5. Insert new Cutting Pad into the machine on top of the Step Shim Assembly.
6. Check the Cutting Pad height using the following procedures:
a. Place the Test Die (found in the Tool Kit) rubber side down on the
Cutting Pad and slide into the machine with NO paper. Then pull the
handle down once.
b. Slide the die and the Cutting Pad out of the machine to check the
impression made by the die on the Cutting Pad. There should be a
LIGHT impression of the entire die shape on the Cutting Pad.
c. If no impression or an incomplete impression is made, add one Mylar
Shim at a time, checking the Test Die impression between the addition of
each shim (maximum of four). Make sure the Shim Tabs are completely
folded on the crease line and secured in the Shim Clip (Figure M, Inset).
There are extra Mylar Shims in the Tool Kit that came with the machine.
Always leave the Step Shim Assembly in the machine.
d. When an impression appears, try cutting four pieces of construction
paper. If all pieces cut completely through, the Cutting Pad height
is correct.
