US-501 operation manual > Control Method >> Touch Screen Control Panel Almost all setting and timing control of the machines can be input from the touch screen control panel. Use you fingertip to touch the parameter to be modified. Switch to different pages to modify other parameters (refer to section on control menu navigation).
Page 17
> Control Method (cont.) >> Control Menu Navigation The US-501 has a number of parameters that can be adjusted according to the operational situations. These parameters are arranged in different menu pages on the touch screen control panel according to their functionality. The structure of the menu page arrangement is represented in the following diagram.

US-501 operation manual > Maintenance (cont.) >> Procedures for Replacing Parts Cutter bit Turn off the machine. Unscrew the securing screw and tap out the cutter bit from the side. Replace another cutter bit. The bit is designed to be able to move from left to right in a range of about 5 mm.
Page 29
US-501 operation manual > Maintenance (cont.) >> Procedures for Replacing Parts (cont.) Cutter bit (cont.) Loose the 2 securing screws slightly so that the mount can be pivoted. Push the cutter down so that the cutting edge will be in contact with the horn face. Pivot the mount slightly so that the contacting area will be a line rather than a point.
