* HSM-specification ** The maximum number of sheets (DIN A4, 70 g/m² or 80 g/m²), fed lengthways, which can be cut in one cycle. The performance data is determined when the motor is cold and the cutting device is freshly oiled. A weaker mains voltage or a different mains frequency to the one specified could result in less sheet capacity and increased noise during operation. The sheet capacity can vary depending on the structure and properties of the paper and on the way it enters. The performance data in 80 g/m² is calculated.
