Using and changing the Glass cutter
Select the Glass cutter position on the turret, place the glass on the machine loading from the right hand side.
1.
Apply the clamp lightly and raise the cutting head beyond the top of the glass.
2.
Press to engage the cutter fully. The cutting head will automatically adjust itself for the
thickness of the glass.
Gently draw the cutter onto the glass and down to the bottom of the machine in one gentle smooth and
continuous motion where it will disengage automatically.
Check the score line, it should be very faint and continuous.
●
If the score is too deep the line will appear white and small slithers of glass may be seen falling from it. the
scoring pressure needs reducing.
●
The score is too light when the glass cutting wheel ‘skips’ and does not produce a continuous line. the scoring
pressure needs increasing.
3.
Should the score pressure require increasing or decreasing the scoring pressure adjustment screw can be
adjusted by turning clockwise or counter-clockwise accordingly.
4.
To break the glass, apply firm pressure to the left hand side of the score line adjacent to the top
edge of the glass.
NB: On large sheets of glass the break may only go part way down the score line, press again near the end of the
break to continue it.
Never score the same line twice.
We recommend the use of nibbling pliers for the removal of amounts less than 5mm (1”)
Changing the glass cutter
Unlock and swing down the cutter guard, rotate the turret so the glass cutter is facing outwards.
5.
Pull out the wheel and clip assembly from the holder.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN CUTTING GLASS
