Abstract
A method is for operating a device for carrying out cutting operations on an open format edge of a printed product. The device is operatively connected to a feed apparatus for the first cutting operation and to a removal apparatus which operates after the final cutting operation. The printed product is transferred from a first cutting location, at which the cutting operation for a first format edge is carried out, to a second cutting location, at which the cutting operation for a second format edge takes place. Once the cutting operation is complete at the second cutting location, the printed product is transferred to a third cutting location, at which the cutting operation for a third format edge takes place. The printed product is transferred among the cutting locations by a transport unit that grips the printed product by the spine to convey the product in a suspended manner.
