S Class 3 User’s Manual
Setup 1-32
A knife is pre-installed in your cutter. For safety reasons, the knife depth has been set to zero. Turn
out the knife before cutting. The complete description of how to remove or install a knife can be found
below.
ATTENTION: To fully benefit from the advantages of the tangential knife, the
degree to which the knife extends is very important. The knife depth should not be
controlled by the knife pressure, but by the nose piece whose two rollers touch
the material.
➢ Removing the tangential knife
1. Turn the knife holder counterclockwise. The knife holder rises and can eventually be lifted out of
the tangential head. The nosepiece is situated underneath. Remove this part if another tool is
going to be installed in the cutter.

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