Basic operation 2-18
Although very similar, there are two types of knife depth settings: one for normal cutting and one for
when FlexCut is used. What they have in common is that the knife is never turned out far.
FIG 2-14
2-14 KNIFE DEPTH SETTING NORMAL CUTTING
During normal cutting, the knife is turned out just a little further than the actual cutting depth, so that
the knife tip only scratches the backing. Turning out the knife further would result in unstable knife
pressure and bad cutting quality.
FIG 2-15
2-15 KNIFE DEPTH SETTING CUTTING THROUGH
When performing FlexCut, the knife is turned out just far enough to cut through the vinyl and its
backing. It is recommended to let the nose piece touch the media at full pressure.
