Operation
Using & changing the cutting blade
Basic cutting technique: Select the cutting blade position on the turret and clamp the material in
the machine.
Move the cutting head beyound the top pf the material to be cut.
1. Press to engage the cutter. Draw the cutter down to the bottom of the machine where it will
disengage automatically.
2. Should you engage the cutter by mistake or for any reason want to disengage the cutter
without moving it to the bottom of the machine pull down the cutter and release lever.
Using the blade support plates: The two support plates either side of the blade are designed to
give maximum rigidity of the blade when cutting hard or dense materials. To adjust the support plates
swing down the cutter guard by undoing the gurad locking knob.
3. Turn the turret ½ turn until blade is pointing towards you and unlock the blade clamping
screw. The support plates can be adjusted by sliding the black pin in the slot. Move the plates
to suit the material.
For cutting most materials the support plates can be set about 12mm (1/2”) from the blade tip.
Changing the cutting blade:
4. Unlock and swing down the cutter guard, rotate the turret so the cutting blade is facing
outwards.
5. Undo the blade clamping screw a number of turns to release the blade.
6. Change or turn over the blade, insert it back into the turret as far as it will go. Tighten the
blade clamping screw, the safety pin will engage to hold the blade in position. At this point
the position of the blade support plates can be adjusted to suit the thickness of material being
cut, further tightening of the screw will clamp the blade in position.
7. Rotate the turret back to the cutting position. Replace the guard ensuring it is locked closed.
