blade cartridge is securely locked to control body.
air supply is attached.
1. Turn the function control knob to the red (retract) position.
2. Loosen the brake knob. Knifeholder is ready to move.
3.
For first time operation or for use with a new full diameter
blade, adjust the depth control knob to one-half its total
stroke.
4. Manually slide the knifeholder along the guide bar to place
knife blade within 1/4" of the anvil ring at the new slit position.
Caution!
Ensure that knife blade is not directly over the anvil
ring in order to prevent damage by collision when blade
cartridge is extended in Step 5.
5. Turn the function control knob to the yellow (setup) position to
extend the knifeholder blade cartridge.
6. Manually slide the knifeholder along the guide bar until the
knife blade and the anvil ring just touch.
7. Tighten the brake knob to lock the knifeholder to the guide bar
(knife blade and anvil ring should be touching).
8. Observe overlap of knife blade and anvil ring. See Measuring
Blade Overlap (p. 14).
9. If the overlap is correct
—0.030" (0.8mm)— the knifeholder is
ready to slit: go to Step 13. If the overlap is incorrect, go to Step 10 to make adjustments. (Some
web products may require more or less overlap.)
10. Turn the function control knob to the red (retract) position.
Note:
All depth control adjustments
must be made in the red (retract) position.
11. To increase the overlap, turn the depth control knob counterclockwise.
To decrease the overlap, turn the knob clockwise.
Note:
One click increases or decreases the overlap .004" (0.1 mm).
One complete turn increases or decreases the overlap .040" (1.0 mm).
DO NOT SCREW the depth control knob all the way into the body. There will be no travel
during cartridge extension.
12. When overlap is correct, turn function control knob to the red (retract) position, if necessary, to
retract the blade cartridge, then turn it to the green (run) position, extending the blade cartridge.
Caution!
If the blade cartridge is not retracted before turning to the green (run) position, it will not
function as designed and may result in poor slit quality.
13. The knifeholder is ready to slit.
Keep knifeholders and blade cartridges free of dust and debris during operation.
Maintenance schedule is dependent upon machine environment.
