Abstract: A die cutting machine has a mobile stair (14), the mobile stair (14) being able to assume a retracted position and an extended position, wherein in the extended position the mobile stair (14) is accessible by an operator. The mobile stair (14) is configured to be pushed into the retracted position by a transport rack (16) and pulled into the extended position when the transport rack (16) is pulled in the opposite direction. A coupling mechanism (30) is arranged on the mobile stair (14) that is configured to couple the transport rack (16) to the mobile stair (14) to pull the mobile stair (14) from the retracted into the extended position and to decouple the transport rack (16) from the mobile stair (14) when the transport rack (16) is moved from the die cutting machine (12) beyond the extended position of the mobile stair (14).
