Score The Face Stock For Weeding - Primera FX1200 Operator's Manual

G. Score the Face Stock for Weeding
To make it easier to attach the waste matrix to the weeder, scoring the face stock of the web is
recommended. This is not required but it will save on set up time. Always score the face stock
after you have determined that the cut depth is correct. If the cut depth is too shallow or deep,
the matrix will not properly pull from the web. In practice you can score the face stock at any
point in the process of setting up the cutter. Just make sure only one knife is installed or you
WILL cut through the liner.
1. To score the face stock press the "Score Face Stock for Weeding" on the Setup
Components screen of the Setup Tab.
2. A warning will appear regarding multiple knives. Make sure only one knife is installed in
carrier one. If you have two or more knives in the cutter you will cut all the way through
the web.
3. After you press "Score the Face Stock for Weeding", the knife will make a straight cut
across the web. To avoid damage to the blade an 8.25" cut is made. In most cases this
means that there will still be uncut paper on the front and back of the web. You'll have to
finish this cut later with a utility knife.
4. Once the cut is made, open the cutter cover and mark the slit point with a marker. You
will use this later to set up the weeder.
5. REPLACE ANY KNIVES THAT WERE REMOVED TO SLIT THE WEB.
