Replacing The Blade - Ioline Supernova I/S Series User Manual

Replacing the Blade

If plot quality suddenly degrades the blade might be dull or broken.
The tip of the blade is very fragile and can chip or break if dropped.
It is difficult to see when the blade is damaged. A magnifying glass
can be helpful. To replace the blade:
1. Remove the adjustable blade foot by unscrewing it counter-
clockwise.
2. Remove the old blade with a pair of needle nose pliers and
discard it.
3. Slide the new blade into the blade until it bottoms out. The
blade should spin freely.
4. Screw the foot onto the blade holder (clockwise). Stop just be-
fore the blade tip emerges.

5. Perform test cuts as described in the Cutting a Sign section
before continuing to use the signcutter.
