Insert and tightenthe remaining screw.

5. Switch the ON/OFF toggle switch and key switch on so that the blade will travel tothe up position.

7.3 Blade AdjustmentNOTE: When properly adjusted, the entire length of the blade should cutcleanly through the last sheet of the stack. How deeply the blade indents thecutting stick depends on blade condition. Remember to adjust the bladeposition only to the depth needed to cut cleanly through the last sheet of thestack.WARNING! The blade must be adjusted so the cutting edge is above thebottom edge of the clamp when both are in the full-up position.

Due to normal blade wear, sharpening, or blade replacement it will be necessary toadjust the blade position. Blade adjustments control height and levelness.

There are three areas where the adjustments are made. (1) The blade screw holes in theblade carrier are slotted so the blade can be move up/down in the carrier. (2) The bladeheight adjustment is accessible through the right side chassis panel. (3) The levelingadjustment set screws located in the top of the blade carrier. The following procedureincludes the removal of the shroud and complete adjustment of the blade.

WARNING! The cutting blade is extremely sharp. Serious bodily harmcan result from mishandling.

1. Disconnect power and remove the shroud.A. Remove the two thumb knobs. One is at the bottom of the keyboard con-

trol panel. The other is located on the left front shroud.B. Remove the two screws at the bottom rear of the shroud.C. Remove the two screws from the top rear of the keyboard control panel.

Separate the control panel from the shroud and carefully disconnect (pull)the ribbon cables (1) from the rear of the keyboard control panel. Feed thecables through the hole in the shroud.

D. Slide the shroud toward the front of the machine so the ready light is sepa-rated from the shroud.

E. Lift the shroud and rear safety cover from the electric cutter. Carefullyreconnect the cables to the rear of the keyboard control panel.

2. Make sure the blade is in the highest position (top of blade carrier slots). If neces-sary, install and tighten the blade holders as instructed in Sections 7.1 & 7.2.Loosen the blade retaining screws and move the blade to the top of the slot. (Theblade must be lowered to access the far right blade screw.) Retighten the bladeretaining screws. Remove the blade holders and install and tighten the two bladeretaining screws in their place.

3. With the blade in the up position, measure the distance from the top of the bladecarrier to the cutting stick. The distance should be 9 3/8". If necessary, adjust theblade adjustment screw (accessible through the right side chassis panel) until thedistance is correct.

4. Activate power, lower the blade to the lowest cutting position and turn off theOn/Off toggle switch. Again measure from the top of the blade carrier to the cuttingstick. The distance should be 6 1/16". If necessary, raise the blade to its highestposition in the carrier and repeat step 4.

5. Place a 1/4" stack of paper over the entire length of the cutting stick and initiate thecutting cycle. If the blade cuts evenly through the last sheet of paper and justslightly into the cutting stick, no further adjustment is necessary. If the last sheet isnot cut evenly through, proceed as follows:

A. Loosen the blade retaining screws so they securely hold the blade in posi-tion, but will allow movement when turning the blade leveling set screws.

B. Adjust the blade leveling set screws clockwise in 1/4 turn increments andtest cut until the bottom sheet of paper is cleanly cut with the blade cuttingslightly into the cutting stick. If the blade cannot be adjusted for a correctcut using the blade leveling set screws, slide the blade to a lower positionin the blade carrier slots and repeat the leveling adjustment.

6. After the blade has been adjusted for a correct cut, disconnect power and removethe front deck.

7. Inspect the trunnion gears on the blade adjustment shaft to ensure the gears aremeshing in the center. If necessary, adjust the shaft collars to obtain the proper gearmesh.

8. Reinstall the front deck and carefully disconnect (pull) the cable from the rear ofthe keyboard control panel.

9. Reinstall the shroud, carefully feeding the cable through the hole in the shroud.10. Carefully reconnect the cable to the rear of the keyboard control panel and mount it

onto the shroud.11. Reinstall the thumb screws and rear deck screws to secure the shroud.

NOTE: The bottom edge of the clamp should always be approximately1/8" lower than the sharp edge of the blade.

WARNING! The cutting blade is extremely sharp. Serious bodily harmcan result from mishandling.

The paper clamp height should be adjusted so the bottom of the paper clamp is alwaysapproximately 1/8" below the blade edge when both are in the maximum “up” position.To adjust the clamp height: lower the paper clamp (only). Loosen the two hex key but-tonhead screws on the paper clamp limit switch bracket.

Note: The slotted screw hole in the bracket allows vertical adjustment.

If the clamp is above the bottom (sharp edge) of the blade, lower the clamp limit switchbracket slightly and tighten the bracket retaining screws. Raise the clamp and check.Repeat until the clamp is approximately 1/8" below the blade. If the clamp is too farbelow the edge of the blade, raise the paper clamp limit switch bracket. Check clampheight and repeat, if necessary.

Note: Always securely tighten the bracket retaining screws.

7.5 Cutting Stick RotationThe design of the PowerLine cutting stick allows rotation to eight cutting locations.(The stick may be rotated to four surfaces and reversed from end to end.) To rotate thestick proceed as follows:1. Turn off power to the cutter and raise the front cover. Turn the key switch to the

off position (key vertical).2. Carefully lift up one end of the cutting stick.3. Place a flat tipped screwdriver under the raised end of the cutting stick and slide it

under the length of the stick to completely remove it from the channel.4. Rotate the stick to a new surface and place it back into the channel. When all four

surfaces have been used, reverse the stick end to end and repeat the rotation processas needed. Replace the stick when a correctly adjusted new, or resharpened bladewill no longer cut completely through the bottom sheet of a stack.

7.6 Back Gauge Squaring AdjustmentIf the cutting distance is not within 1/64" from one end of the back gauge to the other,proceed as follows:1. Loosen the hex head bolt that secures the back gauge to the slider block (top rear

center of the back gauge).2. Loosen or tighten the socket head screws on the rear side of the back gauge as fol-

lows:A. Cut paper at each end of the back gauge to determine which end needs to

move closer to the cutting area. Slightly loosen the socket head screw onthe corresponding side. Slightly tighten the socket head screw on the oppo-site side.

B. Recheck the back gauge squareness by cutting paper positioned at eachend of the back gauge.

C. Repeat the adjustment as necessary and retighten the hex head bolt.

7.7 Back Gauge Slider Block Adjustment1. Position the back gauge to approximately 20".2. Turn off power by turning the key switch to off (key vertical) and unplug the power

cord from the power outlet.3. Remove the lower rear cover. First move the screws/nuts joining the lower front

and rear covers. Then remove the cross point screws that secure the lower rearcover to the chassis. Allow the lower rear cover to drop until it clears the lowerfront cover. Pull the lower rear cover forward and set it aside.

PowerLine Operating Instructions

Page 16: PowerLine Electric CutterYale+PDF/PL...1.0 Introduction Thank you for selecting the Martin Yale PowerLine Electric Cutter. PowerLines are designed to provide a high level of safety,

4. There are four screws that secure the nut plate assembly to the front of the sliderblock. The bottom 2 screws are socket head cap screws, one of which also secures alock washer. The top 2 are cross point screws. Loosen only the cap screw with thelock washer.

5. The adjustment system is a push/pull arrangement that features Two hex socketscrews extend approximately 1/4" from the side of the block. The other two screwsextend through the block and are secured by two nuts. Slightly loosen the frontsocket head cap screw that extends from the side of the slider block. Slightly tight-en the other front socket head cap screw that is threaded into the opposite side ofthe slider block. Tighten the screw until a slight resistance/bind is felt when manu-ally moving the back gauge. Next, slightly loosen the rear socket head cap screwthat extends from the side of the slider block. Slightly tighten the other rear sockethead cap screw that is threaded into the opposite side of the slider block to obtainsmooth movement of the back gauge with no binding. Verify that the back gaugeend play is minimal.

6. Retighten the cap screw on the slider block nut plate.7. Slowly operate the back gauge the full length of travel. Verify that the back gauge

does not bind or stall. Repeat the slider block adjustment if necessary.8. Reinstall the lower rear cover.9. Reapply power to the cutter.

7.8 Back Gauge CalibrationThe location of the back gauge is referenced from the “Home” position. “Home” posi-tion is determined during the homing cycle when the homing flag (located on the back gauge slider block, pg.28) enters and activates the homing sensor (mounted at the rearof the chassis). When this happens, the read-out is reset to 26.00” on the Model 2650and 21.00” on the Model 2150. If the back gauge is not at this distance from the cutpoint (blade), all cuts made will be off the same amount. To calibrate the back gauge,proceed as follows:1. Determine if the stock is being cut too short or too long. If the cut is too short, the

“Home” flag must be moved toward the cutting blade. If the cut is too long, the “Home” flag must be moved away from the cutting blade. Determine the exact dis-tance the cut is off. This is the distance the home flag will need to move.

2. Position the back gauge to approximately 20”.3. Switch the ON/OFF toggle switch, located in the left switch panel, to the OFF posi-

tion. Turn the key lock switch, located in the right switch panel, to the OFF(Vertical) position.

4. Remove the lower rear cover. First remove the screws and nuts joining the lower covers. Next remove the six screws that secure the cover to the chassis. Lower therear cover and set it aside.

5. Mark the initial position of the “Home” flag on the side of the slider block for ref-erence. Slightly loosen the two screws that hold the “Home” flag to the sliderblock. Slide the “Home” flag the direction and distance determined in step 1.Retighten the “Home” flag screws.

6. Switch the ON/OFF toggle switch to the ON position. Answer the prompts so that the back gauge will go to the “Home” position.

7. Check the accuracy of the adjustment by cutting a sheet of paper and precisely measuring the cut sheet. The cut length should be within .01” of the back gaugeposition (reading). If not repeat this procedure starting with step 1.

NOTE: The back gauge must be “Homed” each time the “Home” flag is moved by turning the power OFF and ON.8. When the correct calibration is achieved, re-install the lower rear cover and return

the machine to operation.

7.9 LubricationThe mechanical components of the cutter require periodic lubrication depending upon
