The Scoring Blade
The scoring blade is designed to score Acrylics, Plexiglass and other similar rigid
plastics. Trials should be carried out on scrap materials first to ensure you obtain the
required standard of cut.
Scoring/Breaking Technique
Select the Scoring Blade position on the turret and clamp the material in the machine.
1. Disengage the Ratchet. Depress the Ratchet Lever and prevent it from engaging when
released by depressing the rachet Lock Button. The Multi-cutter will move freely.
2. Clamp the target plastic in the machine. Starting at the top using a thumb depress the
Multi-cutter head so that the blade touches the plastic at the top.
3. Apply thumb pressure to the cutter and draw the blade down the material in one
continuous motion.
Remove the plastic from the machine and snap it by hand.
CAUTION: USE GLOVES AND SAFETY GLASSES WHEN SNAPPING PLASTIC
Changing the Scoring blade
Unlock and swing down the cutter guard, rotate the turret so the scoring blade is facing
towards you.
4. Release the blade clamping screw. Eject the blade using the black ejector pin
5. Replace the blade to the right of the clamping plate, push the blade in as far as it
will go and tighten the blade clamping screw.
Rotate the turret back to the cutting position. Replace the guard ensuring it is
locked closed.
