Paperileikkuri Dahle 561 3,5 mm 35 arkkia

The DAHLE 561 paper cutter is a German-designed premium guillotine offering a 36 cm (14") cutting length and a cutting capacity of 3.5 mm (up to 35 sheets). Constructed with a Solingen-steel blade that hones itself with each cut and an automatic rotating safety guard, this trimmer combines high capacity and enhanced safety for professional and educational environments. The built-in automatic paper clamp provides even pressure across the cutting surface to prevent paper movement and ensure clean, precise cuts. The unit's compact footprint (440 mm wide, 265 mm deep) and weight (5.8 kg) make it easy to store and move within offices, classrooms, and small print shops.

Advantages

The DAHLE 561 features a self-sharpening German Solingen blade and a revolving safety guard that shields the cutting edge during operation, reducing the risk of finger contact. Its automatic paper clamp holds material firmly to prevent fanning and guarantees consistent cuts up to 35 sheets (3.5 mm). The combination of commercial-grade construction, accurate cutting length (36 cm), and compact dimensions delivers a durable, space-efficient solution for frequent trimming tasks.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions when performing any maintenance or blade replacement.

Recommendations

For safe operation, keep fingers clear of the cutting edge and always use the automatic paper clamp. Limit cutting to the specified maximum capacity (3.5 mm / 35 sheets) and avoid cutting materials thicker than the rated capacity. Store the cutter on a stable surface and follow local safety rules when using in classrooms or shared workspaces.
