MÜHLEN Caki 480-A4
Sword-Type Guillotine Machine with Automatic Press
Sword Guillotine
The high-performance, premium-standard MÜHLEN Caki 480-A4 features a sword (blade) cutting mechanism; its blade, made of special alloy steel, self-sharpens with every cut. With automatic pressing, a magnetic holding guide, and an alignment stop, this is a next-generation model.
Continuous Use
Designed for continuous daily use, the Caki 480-A4 has a fully steel body and a cutting blade made entirely of steel. The special alloy-steel blade and the precise-friction press system in particular ensure high performance for many years of operation.
Guide Holder
The machine comes with a magnetic holder that secures documents placed on the tray during cutting. The steel tray is marked with a 300x250mm metric grid to help align and cut documents or photos precisely. This lets the user cut documents neatly to any size needed.
Automatic Press
An integrated press pad on the cutting blade automatically clamps single sheets or stacked documents before cutting, preventing them from shifting. This system lets the user achieve perfect, smooth cuts even with just one hand.
10 Sheets per Cut
The MÜHLEN Caki 480-A4 can cut up to 10 sheets (80gsm) at a time. It cuts A4-size and smaller documents from any direction, with a 300mm feed capacity. Its special alloy-steel blade system keeps its first-day performance even after many years of use.

Handle
The guarded sword-style handle provides a firm grip on the guillotine blade during cutting, while the integrated top carrying handle makes the machine extremely easy to transport. The model is also well suited to cutting photos, cardboard and similar materials in addition to paper and documents. When not in use, the cutting blade can be locked in place with a latch to prevent any hazard.

Usage and Care Tips
Line your document up with the metric grid on the steel tray and place the magnetic holder against it before cutting. Feed no more than 10 sheets at a time to keep edges clean and reduce wear. The blade does not need manual sharpening, but clearing dust and paper scraps from the cutting area helps maintain performance. When the machine is idle, lock the blade with its latch; the end-of-cut brake adds another layer of control. Stand it on a level surface on its non-slip feet, and carry it by the integrated handle.
