Chapter 4, Fine Tuning the Cutter 47
To adjust the knife depth of the optional knife holder
1. Loosen the base of the cutting knife. To do this, take the base in your
left hand and twist the ring slightly.
2. Take the base and the ring in your left hand and twist the shaft until the
knife point protrudes only a very small amount, about 0.008" (0.2 mm)
out of the edge of the base.
3. Tighten the ring firmly against the base. This will prevent the cutting
blade from coming loose during cutting.
4. Make a manual test-cut on a small piece of material of the same type
that you will be using.
5. Examine the test cut.
The top layer should be cut completely and you should see a slight
scratch on the backing when peeling it off, but not on the underside of
the backing.
6. Adjust the blade depth and make test cuts until you obtain the correct
depth.
Excessive blade exposure will adversely affect cutting quality, accelerate
blade wear, and possibly damage the cutter.
