KNIFE HOLDER INSTALLATION
The GS750
plus
comes two different types of knife holder:
! Swivel Knife - Used to cut all but the thickest materials, such
as sandblast stencil, at high speed.
! Tangential Knife - Used to cut all materials, including
sandblast stencil. The tangential knife can be used with either
30°,45° or 60° blades.
To install a knife holder
1. Load vinyl or other material.
2. Select the knife holder that matches the knife mode you want
to use.
3. A plastic lift washer is used to reduce friction between the tool
holder and the lift fork of the carriage spindle during operation.
There should be one installed on the knife holder. If not, slip
a lift washer from the Tool Kit over the barrel and slide the
washer to the top of the holder.
CAUTION: Carefully install the knife holder, taking care
not to strike the tip of the blade against the bore of the
carriage spindle.
4. A slot, or keyway, in the barrel of the knife holder ensures
proper orientation. If necessary, rotate the knife holder until it
drops completely into the carriage spindle.
5. When the knife holder is in place, swing the tool force arm and
snap it into place over the cone-shaped cap.
6. Select a tool force setting appropriate for material and blade.
Approximate tool force settings for cutting other vinyl materials
are listed in the chart below. (See
Plotter User Reference
Card
.)
Note: Use lower values with new blades.
