Gerber GS15 Plus - Swivel Knife

36 GS15
plus
SWIVEL KNIFE
Press the SWIVEL KNIFE key to select knife mode:
! When the swivel knife mode is selected, the light over the SWIVEL
KNIFE key is on.
! If the tangential knife mode is desired, the light must be off.
! Press SWIVEL KNIFE to turn the light on and off.
Use swivel knife mode for most cutting except for demanding material
such as sandblast stencil. Use tangential knife mode for cutting thick
materials such as sandblast stencil and for pouncing patterns.
Note: You cannot change knife mode in the midst of a job; the plotter
must be between jobs. You must take the plotter off line to switch knife
modes.
INIT KNIFE
Use the INIT KNIFE key to initialize the swivel knife so that the blade
faces 0°. Press the INIT KNIFE key after loading the swivel knife and
selecting swivel knife mode.
CAUTION: Pressing INIT KNIFE when in swivel knife mode
lowers the knife into the vinyl and cuts a very short line. It is
important to have material loaded in the plotter so that the knife
does not cut the drum surface.
Note: You should initialize the swivel knife before every job if you have
changed material, or after a new tool has been installed.
