CHAPTER 4 : WALKTHROUGH THE OPERATION PANEL

AP-75280 – Rev. 1.2

4.1.6 FORCE key

Please follow the instructions below to change / control the tool force.

Tool force is the amount of downward pressure that the cutter applies on the knife / pen.

We merely want to point out that you have to try to cut your design with the lowest possible pressure that

gives no trouble to weed. Some cast media require only 20 grams to be cut completely through. In that case

there is no need to apply 100 grams of pressure. Too much pressure can cause a decrease of quality.

Be sure that the knife depth has been set correctly. Otherwise, this setting is useless.

Step 1 : Press the [FORCE] key.

Step 2 : The current force (in gram) will be displayed. Change the value with the - keys.
