Troubleshooting
Guillotine not cutting cleanly
Ensure the blades are sharp. Check for any debris caught in the cutting mechanism. Verify that the material is positioned correctly and securely under the clamp.
Blade seems dull or is tearing paper
The blades may require sharpening or replacement. Contact customer support or a qualified service provider, as blades are considered wear parts.
Automatic clamp is not engaging or holding material
Check if the clamp function is selected. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the clamp from lowering properly. If the issue persists, service may be required.
Laser beam (optional) not visible or misaligned
Check the laser beam's power source (batteries) and ensure they are correctly inserted. Consult the laser beam's specific manual for alignment procedures.
Backstop is difficult to move
Ensure the guide channels are clean and free of debris. Lightly lubricate the channels if recommended by the manufacturer for smooth operation.
