INVICTA ADJUSTMENTS To ensure perfect result it may be necessary to perform some manual adjustments, such as: ADJUSTING THE CUTTING AND CREASING DEPTH To ensure a perfect cut of any material, it is essential that the cutting blade depth slightly exceeds the material thickness being cut (approx.
INVICTA ADJUSTING THE VERSATOOL CUTTING DEPTH To adjust the VersaTool cutting depth is sufficient turn the knob (1) anticlockwise (to increase), or clockwise (to decrease) the cutting depth. NOTE! One unit on the counter correspond to 0,1 mm (1/32”). Ten units correspond to 1 mm (10/32”) Figure 8-3 ADJUSTING THE CUTTING PRESSURE OF THE KISS -CUT TOOL Once inserted the standard knife blade into the knife holder.
INVICTA Hold the nose piece in place with one hand. Adjust the knife depth with the other hand by turning the knife holder clockwise until the knife tip is just visible from under the nose piece. Figure 8-6 ADJUSTING THE DOWN PRESSURE OF THE CUTTING HEAD To cut special hard materials, or to avoid the wheel on the cutting head leaves a mark on soft materials, it may be necessary to adjust the pressure of the air in the cylinder controlling the head down pressure.
INVICTA OVAL AND ROUND CUT ADJUSTMENT If you find errors in the cut of oval or round shapes, as per figure below (1), a little calibration will be required, since the shape is not perfectly closed. This error occurs when the blade plunges into the material with a speed that does not allow the starting and ending points to match (4).
INVICTA • With a screwdriver by turning the valve air fitting clockwise you will reduce the air flow making the blade travel longer (4). Vice versa, by turning the valve air fitting counterclockwise, you will increase the air flow, shortening the time of the blade plunge (5).
INVICTA ADJUSTING THE RUBBER PRESSURE ROLLER The rubber roller on the 40° green cutting head will wear during normal use and its position with respect to the cutting blade needs to be adjusted periodically to ensure good quality mountboard cutting. This adjustment also needs to be made each time a rubber roller is changed.
INVICTA ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE FOOT • Loosen the set screw (1). • Turn screw 2 clockwise or anticlockwise to raise or lower the pad support. • Once you have adjusted and reached the desired position tighten the grub screw (1). Figure 8-14 PEN PLOTTING TOOL –...
INVICTA ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Very little maintenance is required, and it is limited to the operations detailed in the following paragraphs. CAUTION! Please disconnect the machine from electricity, before carrying out any maintenance operations. CLEANING One of the most important maintenance tasks is the frequent and complete cleaning of the following parts: Worktable (daily) •...
INVICTA REPLACING THE RUBBER PRESSURE ROLLER The rubber roller fitted to some cutting heads can wear out or get damaged during the normal use of the machine. To change the pressure roller proceed as follows: Switch off the machine, remove the cutting blade as descripted before. Loosen the retaining screw (2) using a 2.5mm hexagonal key to free the pressure roller (3).
INVICTA PNEUMATIC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE (EVERY 1 -2 MONTHS) NOTE! if the oscillating head is not used for long time, it is not necessary to have oil in the pressure regulator, so it is not necessary to refill the oil into the tank. Make sure the tanks (A)(C) of the air treatment unit located at the entry to the pneumatic circuit of the machine does not contain any water generated by the compressor and if so empty the tank releasing the valve (B).
