This
manual
may not be
complete
in all aspects of
product
maintenance
and
repair.
All
products should be used only by qualified and properly trained personnel, following proper
safety procedures. All products should be regularly inspected and maintained, and their condition,
application and use should be periodically evaluated by qualified personnel. Only qualified and
properly trained technicians should perform maintenance,
repair
and replacement
procedures. Attempting
t
hese procedures without proper training
may
cause
machine
damage or
operator
injury!
Products
may be
unsupported by The Challenge Machinery Company
due to age or the
unavailability
of parts from their
original manufacturer.
No parts or
product support
will be
available
to repair or
maintain unsupported
products.
Older
products
may not be UL
listed (if
the product does not have a UL label it is not a listed product), and may not comply with
applicable installation or other regulations or requirements if
relocated
to a new
facility.
Many
municipalities require
a
product
to be UL
listed
before
an
electrician
will
connect
power
to them. Often the cost of updating an older product to comply with current safety regulations is
greater than the value of the product.

1.4 Safety
Before installing or operating any equipment, it
is important to take precautions. Read and
thoroughly understand the safety precautions
outlined below.
• This machine is designed for one-
person operation. Never operate the
machine with more than one person.
• Safe use of this machine is the respon-
sibility of the operator. Use good judg-
ment and common sense when working
with and around the machine and its
accessories.
• Read and understand all instructions
thoroughly before using the machine. If
questions remain, contact your Author-
ized Challenge Dealer. Failure to un-
derstand the operating instructions may
result in personal injury.
• Only trained and authorized individuals
should operate this machine.
• Only trained and authorized service
technicians should service this ma-
chine.
• Do not alter safety guards or devices.
They are there for your protection. Se-
vere laceration or dismemberment may
result if safety devices are altered.
• Disconnect power and lock out before
performing any maintenance. See Sec-
tion 1.5 , Power Lockout Procedure.
• Observe all caution and instruction la-
bels on this machine.
• Be extremely careful when handling
and changing knives. Severe lacera-
tions or dismemberment could result
from careless handling procedures.
• Perform the Safety Systems Check
given on page 4-9 before each shift be-
gins.

CMT 330 Three Knife Trimmer 1-4 Power Lockout Procedure
• Keep all conveyors and elevator acces-
sories clear of foreign objects. Do not
manually place foreign objects within
the machine. Cutting anything other
than qualifying perfect bound books
could result in serious damage to the
machine and create safety hazards. A
qualifying perfect bound book will fall
into the size range described in the
specifications on page 1-8.
• Make sure all applicable accessories
are securely bolted to the main ma-
chine. Tip hazards may result from un-
secured accessories.
• If the machine operates abnormally,
consult a Challenge authorized service
agent.
1.5 Power Lockout Procedure
For maximum safety while making ADJUST-
MENTS or REPAIRS to your machine, lock out
the main power disconnect switch. The switch
should be moved to the OFF position and a
padlock securely fastened through the loop.
The person adjusting or servicing the machine
should hold the key.

CMT 330 Three Knife Trimmer 1-9 Specifications
1.7.1 Book Size Chart
Figure 1-3 can be used to determine if a specific
book layout can be trimmed using the CMT 330.
From Figure 1-2, see that (x) is the bottom trim
and (h) is the height of the book. The book size
must fall within the shaded region of the chart
but never exactly on the sloped line.
The CMT 330 software will not allow a book to
be cut outside this range. The operator should
be aware of these size constraints before books
are printed. The CMT 330 will not allow only
one top or bottom edge to be trimmed.
