SummaCut cutter User’s Manual
Press twice to leave the knife pressure menu.
ATTENTION: After setting the cutting depth and/or the knife pressure,
perform a thorough visual check of the knife blade, protruding from the knife
holder and test the cutting results on a scrap of vinyl media.
CAUTION: Do not operate the cutter if the knife blade cuts through the
media backing, as this will seriously damage the cutter's rubber cutting strip
and the knife.
CAUTION: For most vinyl cutting operations, the knife blade tip will be
barely visible at the bottom of the knife tool. If the knife blade tip is clearly
visible, then the cutting depth must be readjusted.
To prevent damage to the cutter, check the depth of the knife blade tip and
the quality of the cut each time y
ou load a different type of vinyl into the
cutter.
The SummaCut cutters can also be operated with a kind of plotter pen. After replacing
the knife with a pen, the cutter can be used as a plotter in order to draw draft plots of
new or existing designs on paper.
Loosen the head clamp screw and remove the tool from the clamp.
Install the pen in the clamp and tighten the clamp screw.
The change of tool can either be done on the control panel, with Summa Cutter
Control (PC only) or with the cutting software.
Selecting pen operation disables the knife offset correction, and changes the pressure
to “pen pressure.”
ATTENTION: The information on the LCD shows the currently selected tool
by the cutter. Make sure the cutter’s tool setting matc
hes the actual tool in
use.
