Each click of the adjusting screw equals 60° which raises or lowers the bed by
0.3 mm.
The Masterpress EMD allows you to trim, die cut windows and different shapes.
To do this you must put the O.MATRIX BASE MP01/MPEMD on the heater to pro-
tect it, plus on the stamping bed the O.CuttingBLADE PAD so the blade will not
cut into the stamping bed or make the blades blunt. Before cutting turn off the
heater, this is the safest way of and prolongs the life the heater, ( to do this
just turn the heater to 0 on the control panel). When die or trimming always
ensure that, the die or cutting blade is in the centre of the heater head. (ask
the supplier for more details)
Set pressure to the appropriate value (this value must be selected by checking
and testing the material to be cut. The pressure/force depends on the thick-
ness and density of the material, and the sharpness and condition of the die.
• press the START buttons
• after cutting, if necessary, you can repeat
• pull of the inner and outer die cut
Attention!
Sometimes due to the delicate design of the die, you may need to increase
the pressure in order to get a clean cut by repeating the cycle. On the con-
trol panel you can add a automatic repeat cycle x2 and x3 “10” settings,
allows you to repeat the cycle without withdrawing the moving head, thus
preventing movement of material and die plus speeding up the die cutting
process. Set the pressure value to 10 x2 or 10 x3 if the pressure is to be re-
peated more than once.
Attention!
When cutting/trimming always use the O.CuttingBLADE PAD.

Adjusting the stamping bed surface
When stamping complex patterns and the pattern is stamped unevenly, (e.g.
not enough foil on parts of the pattern) use the adjusting screws under the bed
and adjust the height of the bed support points. In places, where the stamping
is poor, you should raise that point by turning the screw clockwise, which will
increase the pressure. Where the hot print stamping is too deep, reduce the
pressure at that point by turning anticlockwise.
