Anvil and Blade Cartridge
Replacement
See Replace Anvil and Replace Blade Cartridge pro-
cedures on pages 10 and 11.
Adjust Cutter Speed
When dispensing a material and glass mixture, the
speed at which the cutter spins can be adjusted to
ensure the correct ratio of glass to dispensed material.
NOTE: It may be possible to prevent premature anvil
and blade cartridge wear by slowing the cutter speed
and adding an additional strand of roving. See Prema-
ture Blade Cartridge or Anvil Wear on page 6.
1. Determine whether more or less glass is needed.
a. Place bag over cutter chute.
b. Place bag over gun fluid outlet. Try to keep bag
away from the dispense outlet to prevent pierc-
ing the bag which will lead to inaccurate dis-
pense measurements.
c. Dispense a 15-30 second shot.
d. Weigh both bags and calculate ratio.
e. Determine whether more or less glass is
needed. Consult material manufacturer recom-
mendations for ratio requirements.
f.
If ratio is ok, then no adjustment is needed. Oth-
erwise, continue with adjustment procedure.
2. Engage trigger lock.
To prevent skin injection, engage the trigger lock
before adjusting cutter motor.
3. With the trigger lock engaged, rotate the cutter
motor (AH): clockwise to decrease speed, coun-
ter-clockwise to increase speed. See F
4. Go to step 1 to test ratio and repeat adjustment as
necessary.

Adjust Anvil to Blade Cartridge
Tension
More tension leads to the anvil and blade cartridge
wearing out faster. To prevent premature wear and
to maximize anvil and blade cartridge life, use the
minimum tension required to cut the glass and
make small increases in tension when strands are
not cut correctly.
To cut the glass strands, the blade cartridge is pressed
against the anvil. If the strands do not appear to be get-
ting cut correctly an adjustment may be needed.
To adjust the tension:
1. Engage trigger lock.
2. Disengage the tension lockdown (AG) by pushing
towards the front of the gun.
3. Turn the tension knob (AF) on the cutter: coun-
ter-clockwise to increase tension, clockwise to
decrease tension. See F
4. Engage tension lockdown.
If there is still excessive anvil or blade cartridge wear
after performing this procedure, see Premature Blade
Cartridge or Anvil Wear on page 6.
