Drag knifes
Drag knifes are sensitive, sharp and dangerous precision tools.
•
Always keep the blades away from children!
•
Exercise care when handling blades to prevent injuries.
•
Treat the cutting blades carefully and always store them with the associated
protective cap when not in use. If the tip of a blade hits against a hard
material such as glass or stone, tiny chips can be broken out of the tip
rendering the blade unusable.
Please observe the following notes to prevent unnecessary wear to your
blades and achieve the maximum possible service life.
•
Always avoid cutting into the backing material on the vinyl. The wear to the
blades is increased when it is necessary for them to cut deeper into the
material used.
•
Adjust the cutting depth of the blade so that the material is just cut through
cleanly. Further extension of the blade reduces its service life and does not
improve the cutting results at all
•
Use specially designed blades for thicker material (e.g. flock blades for flock).
•
Ragged edges after cutting the vinyl indicate that the blade is dull. Always
replace dull blades immediately!
