Summa S2 SERIES - Pen Installation; Pouncing Pin Installation

S CLASS™ 2 cutter User’s Manual
Setup 1-30
NOTE:
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 you load a different type of vinyl into the cutter.
1.7.1.2 Pen installation
The S CLASS 2 drag cutters can also be operated with a plotter-type pen. After replacing the
knife with a pen, the cutter can be used as a plotter to draw draft plots of new or existing
designs on paper.
1. Loosen the head clamp screw and swing the clamp arm back. Then remove the tool from
the clamp.
2. Install the pen in the rear slot, close the clamp arm and tighten the clamp screw.
3. The change of tool can either be done on the touch panel with Summa Cutter Control (PC
only) or with the cutting software.
Selecting the pen operation disables the knife offset correction and changes the pressure to
“pen pressure.”
NOTE: The information on the touch panel shows the tool, which was currently
selected by the cutter. Make sure the cutter’s tool setting matches the actual tool
in use.
1.7.1.3 Pouncing pin installation
The S CLASS 2 drag cutters can also be operated with a pouncing tool. After replacing the
knife with a pouncing tool, the cutter can be used as a paper pouncer.
1. Loosen the head clamp screw and swing the clamp arm back. Then remove the tool from
the clamp.
2. Install the pouncing tool in the front slot, close the clamp arm, and tighten the clamp
screw.
3. The change of tool can either be done on the touch panel with Summa Cutter Control or
with the cutting software.
Selecting the pouncing tool operation disables the knife offset correction, changes the
pressure to “pouncing pressure” and will add “pouncing gap” to the tool properties.
NOTE:
The information on the touch panel shows the tool, which is currently
selected by the cutter. Make sure the cutter’s tool setting matches the actual tool
in use.
CAUTION: Before starting to pounce, check whether the pouncing tool is
positioned above the black pouncing strip. If the pouncing tool is mounted in the
rear slot of the clamp, the cutting strip will be damaged irreversibly!
