2. A plastic lift washer is used to reduce friction between the tool and
the lift fork of the carriage spindle during operation. There should be
one installed on the pounce wheel holder. If not, slip a lift washer
from the tool kit over the barrel and slide the washer to the top of the
holder.
3. Hold the pounce wheel holder upright over the carriage spindle.
Rotate the barrel until the desired keyway is oriented above the
protruding key inside the carriage spindle. Lower the pounce wheel
holder into the carriage spindle.
4. When the pounce wheel holder is in place, swing the tool force arm
and snap it over the cap.
5. Check the pounce wheel position by looking under the carriage to
make sure the wheel is oriented at the desired angle.
6. Pouncing generally requires higher tool force settings than drawing
or cutting. To begin, set the tool force dial between 5 and 6. Adjust,
if necessary, for paper thickness or desired hole size. Reduce plotter
speed if pouncing small holes.
POUNCE WHEEL REPLACEMENT
One pounce wheel supplied is installed in the tool holder and a spare is
included in the tool kit.
To replace the pounce wheel
1. Using the Allen wrench from the tool kit, remove the hex screw that
serves as the wheel's axle.
2. Remove the old wheel. Position the new wheel in the holder.
3. Slide hex screw through holder and wheel (as an axle) and tighten.
