Pass the end of the material between the pinch rollers

and the grit rollers so that it extends from the front of

the unit.

Pull out the portion

to cut from the roll.

When loaded as

shown in the figure,

correct feed cannot

be performed.

Separate the necessary length for

cutting from the roll.

Position the material so that both edges are above the

grit rollers.

For more information about the width of the material

and the positions of the grit rollers, see "9-2 About the

Material -

Acceptable Material Widths."

- CX-24

When viewed from the front, align so that the

right-hand edge of the material is above any of

the grit rollers and the left-hand edge is above the

long grit roller.

The white areas of the rails serve as a guide for positioning

the grit rollers.

For material with a width of 150 mm (6 in.) or less, place the

material above the grit roller at the left edge.

Loading the Material

Before you load material, make sure the sheet loading lever is lowered.

- If you are using roll material, start with step 1.

- If you are using piece material, start with step 2.

On the CX-24, use the roller base. On the CX-12,

either see "- If You Are Not Using the Roller Base,"

or secure in place roll material as a substitute for the

roller base.
