ADJUSTMENTS
Several factors affect tool force and require setting changes:
!
Type of material -- See the
HS750
plus
Tool Force Settings
Reference Card.
!
Knife mode and tool -- Drawing, pouncing, cutting, knife
mode, and blade angle all affect the tool force setting.
!
Blade wear -- Increase tool force after several thousand cuts.
Gerber recommends experimenting with tool force settings as well
as keeping a logbook of the settings. Refer to the
HS750
plus
Tool
Force Settings Reference Card for guidelines.
Tool Holders
For quick identification, each tool holder has a different colored
cap. The cap helps lock the tool in place in the carriage spindle
during operation. In addition, red sleeves protect tool tips from
accidental damage during storage. Remove the protective sleeve
before installing a tool holder in the carriage spindle.
Pen Holder and Pens
The pen holder is shipped with a black pen installed. After loading
the plotting paper, install the pen holder in the carriage spindle as
follows:
To install the pen holder
1. Select the pen holder with pen installed.
2. 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 pen holder. If not, slip a
lift washer from the tool kit over the barrel and slide the
washer to the top of the holder.
