Safety is a key element for both models. The infrared light beam curtain provides both safety and convenience. As it shuts down operation if the light plane is interrupted. A key lock, wooden paper push, and blade change tool are also standard for safe operation. The Cut-True 29A utilizes an adjustable electronic mechanism to securely clamp the paper stack. The Cut-True 29H uses hydraulic pressure to activate both the clamp and blade, which can be adjusted to provide the best cut possible for different paperweights and stack heights.
For a basic cutting job select or set the program using the control panel, which will automatically adjust the back gauge. Next, slide the paper stack into position and use the wooden paper push to safely align the stack. With the paper in position, press the two activation buttons which engage the cutting blade while keeping hands away from the cutting area.
The high speed hardened steel blade is designed to last, cut after cut. When it does need to be replaced the blade change tool makes it safe and easy.

Next, open the box containing the legs. Use the corresponding numbers on the legs to properly assemble. Insert the bolts and use an Allen wrench to tighten them in place.
Now, place the legs onto the floor and install the bottom shelf. Once the bottom shelf is in place, use a forklift to carefully place the machine onto the legs, being sure the inserts are aligned with the legs and that they are seated properly. Fasten each of the four legs with the Allen head bolts provided, towards the top of the leg. With the legs properly attached, remove the black shipping handles on the front and rear of the machine. After removing the handles, rescrew the screws into the machine. Now that the machine has been unboxed and assembled, use a hand truck to set the 29A into place.
