Application
b. Loosen the set screws in the two collars of the slitter.
c. Slide the Slitter to the location that will let it cut through
your marked point.
d. Slide the collars so they are snug against the slitter
frame and tighten the set screws.
Adjust the slitter blade and pressure on the blade,
so that the blade cuts the film cleanly and the wheel that
rides on the roll does not wrinkle or mark the film. If the
film roll has imperfections, you may need more pressure
and/or more blade extension.

Voyager Operation and Maintenance Manual
You can vary the distance the slitter blade sticks
out of the blade holding block. To change the amount of
the blade protruding from the block, simply loosen the set
screws, slide the blade out or in, and tighten the set screw.
The blade holding block generally should be at a
right angle with the slitter frame, however, you can vary
the angle at which the blade meets the roll. To change the
blade angle, loosen the set screw, pivot the block to
desired angle, and tighten the set screws.
You can vary the pressure on the blade by
swinging the cylindrical weight toward the slitter support
bar ( to decrease pressure ) or away from the bar ( to
increase pressure ).
Try to avoid removing the slitter blade from a cut
once you have been slitting. If you must adjust or withdraw
the blade and then resume slitting, move the slitter slightly
in toward the middle of the sheet. Trying to put the blade
back exactly where you were slitting before, usually
procedures very thin slivers of film ( "angel hair" ) that
cause problems with the laminator and the product.
To avoid injury when the slitter is not in
use, move the blade completely inside
the holder and secure in place.
