4-4 Loading the Sheet — SETUP Key

• Turning on the Power

Switch on the power switch on the left side of the PNC-950.
When the power switch is pressed to turn on the unit, the tool carriage moves. Use caution to ensure that
your hands or other objects do not become caught in the moving parts.
Wait at least 10 seconds between turning the power OFF and then ON again.

• Loading the Sheet

You can use either flat sheets (standard-size sheet, cut sheet, etc.) or rolled sheets. With DIP switch SW-9 set to OFF,
and when loading rolled sheet , the width range (horizontal dimension) can measure between 50 mm (1-15/16") and 610
mm (24"). There is no particular limit to the length (vertical dimension) of rolled sheet. With DIP switch SW-9 set to
ON, and when loading a flat sheet the width range (horizontal dimension) can measure between 50 mm (1-15/16") and
610 mm (24"). There is no restriction on the length (vertical dimension), but a minimum of 100 mm (3-15/16") or more
is recommended.
If DIP switch SW-9 (loaded sheet type) has not been set, then turn OFF the power to the PNC-950 and set the DIP switch
to match the specific type of sheet loaded. (Set SW-9 to ON when using a single sheet or to OFF when using rolled
sheet.) After making the setting, turn the PNC-950 back ON.
The tool carriage moves when the SETUP key is pressed. Take care to ensure that your hands or other
objects do not get caught in the moving parts.
Reference -- Sheet Loading Position
The grit rollers on the PNC-950 are divided into three areas that can secure the sheet with the pinch rollers. The range of
movement is determined by the movable pinch rollers on the left and right (see "Reference"). Experiment with the range
of the left and right movable pinch rollers to determine usable area.
When loading a sheet, first place it atop the grit rollers and make sure that it is positioned where it can be secured by the
pinch rollers.
