Flip up the guide plate on each side of the roll holder.
(1) Guide plate
-

While squeezing the adjustment lever, slide the right guide plate against the roll to correctly align the left edge of the material.
(1) Adjustment lever The material is correctly loaded when there is a gap of about 2 to 3 mm between the guide plate and the right side
of the roll. After aligning the left edge of the material, adjust the guide plate.
(1) Gap of about 2 to 3 mm
Before inserting the material into the roll feeder, make sure that the end of the material is evenly trimmed and the both corners are at right angles.

As shown below, if the left and right edges of the material are not parallel or both corners are not at right angles when the material feeds, it loses contact with the feed roller, causing the material to become skewed and feed incorrectly. |

Check that the side to be cut faces up.
(1) Guide channel
(2) Material
-
Make sure the left edge of the material is aligned with the rolled material guide and the end of the material is perfectly aligned with the guide channel.
【When aligned】There is no need to evenly trim the end of the material.
Feed the material into the machine. For details, see “Feeding the Material”
(1) Rolled material guide
(2) Guide channel
(3) Material
【When not aligned】The end of the material must be evenly trimmed.
For details, see “Using the trimmer blade to trim the end of the material”
After trimming the end of the material, go to “Feeding the Material” .
