1.6.2 Cutters with tangential head
1.6.2.1 Tangential knife installation
A knife has been pre-installed in your cutter. For safety reasons, the knife depth has been
set to zero. Simply turn out the knife (see fig FIG 1-31) to start cutting. Below is the complete
description of how to remove or install a knife.
NOTE: To benefit fully from the advantages of the tangential knife, the amount the knife
extends is very important. The knife pressure may not control the knife depth; the two
rollers of the nosepiece should always touch the media, thus controlling the knife depth.
 Removing the tangential knife
1. Turn the knife holder counterclockwise. The holder will rise up, eventually making it
possible to lift the knife holder out of the tangential head. Underneath is the nosepiece.
Remove this part if another tool will be used in the cutter.

2. The knife can be removed from the knife holder by using something like a flat
screwdriver to pry between the knife and the knife holder in the groove.
