Adjusting the knife depth

Standard knife holder
Hold the body (2), as shown in the table, in
one hand and use the set screw (3) to adjust
the depth(3).
Turn the set screw (3) clockwise to make the
blade stick out of the edge of the base part
(1). Turn the set screw (3) counter clockwise,
will retract the blade. For a first test, turn out
the blade until it sticks out about 0.2mm
(0.008") out of the base part.
Make a manual test-cut on a small piece of media, of the same type that you are using.
For contour cutting
Adjust the depth until the top layer is cut completely and that you can see a slight scratch on
the backing when peeling off. At no times you should be able to see a scratch at the back
side of the media.
For cutting through
Adjust the depth until the knife just cuts through the back side of the media.

Knife holder with nonius
Loosen the base part of the cutting knife. To
do this, take the base part in your left hand
and twist the ring slightly.
Take the base part and the ring in your left
hand and twist the shaft until the knife point
sticks out about 0.2 mm (0.008") out of the
base part.
Tighten the ring firmly against the base part.
This will prevent the cutting blade from
coming loose during cutting.
