Pen Installation - Summa S class 2 series User Manual

S CLASS™ 2 cutter
NOTE: The knife pressure can also be used to check the knife depth (which is
controlled by the amount the knife extends out of the nosepiece). If the correct
knife pressure is raised by 150 gr, then the knife should not cut through the
backing of the vinyl. If it does, the knife depth needs to be reduced.
CAUTION: After setting the cutting depth and/or the knife pressure, perform a
thorough visual check of the knife blade, which protrudes from the knife holder,
and test the cutting results on a scrap of vinyl media!
WARNING: Do not operate the cutter if the knife blade cuts through the media
backing as this will seriously damage the cutter's rubber cutting strip and the
knife.
NOTE: For most vinyl cutting operations, the knife blade tip will be barely
visible at the bottom of the knife tool. If the knife blade tip is clearly visible, the
cutting depth must be readjusted.
To prevent damage to the cutter, check the depth of the knife blade tip and the
quality of the cut each time you load a different type of vinyl into the cutter.

1.7.2.2 Pen installation

The S CLASS 2 tangential cutters can also be operated with a ballpoint pen. After replacing
the knife with a pen, the cutter can be used as a plotter to draw draft plots of new or
existing designs on paper.
1. Turn the installed tool counterclockwise. The holder will raise, making it possible to lift
the knife holder out of the tangential head. The nosepiece is situated underneath.
Remove this part if it is mounted.
2. Gently insert the ballpoint pen holder into the tool shaft.
3. Turn the ballpoint pen clockwise all the way down.
4. The change of tool can either be done on the touch screen with Summa Cutter Control
or with the cutting software.
Selecting the pen operation changes the pressure to "pen pressure."
NOTE: The information on the touch panel shows the tool, currently selected by
the cutter. Make sure the cutter's tool setting matches the actual tool in use.
