Fixed Knife System - MUTOH MC series Operation Instructions Manual

Preparing for a Job

FIXED KNIFE SYSTEM

When using thicker media such as sandblast or harder material such as reflective film, you
will get better cutting quality when using the fixed knife system.
To use the Fixed Knife System, you will need the fixing bracket which is part of your cutting
plotter's accessories kit.
The procedure below explains how to start using the fixed knife option:
a) Let the cutting plotter finish the current job and verify that the tool in use is returned to
the stocker.
b) Switch the plotter into OFF-LINE mode (On-Line LED should be OFF) and open the
protective cover.
c) Press the TOOL button repeatedly, until the display shows that "FIXED" is selected.
d) Adjust the blade depth of the tool you are going to use.
e) Hold back the locking clip of the tool head and insert the knife holder in the tool head as
shown in the illustration (1). Verify that the tool collar fits nicely into the groove of the
tool head, as is shown in illustration (2) & detail drawing.
f) Insert the locking bracket into the tool head (3).
