5.1.3 Adjusting the knife depth
STANDARD KNIFE HOLDER
OPTIONAL KNIFE HOLDER WITH NONIUS
Hold the body (2) in one hand and adjust the
depth by using the set screw (3).
Loosen the base part of the cutting knife. To do this,
take the base part in your left hand and twist the ring
slightly.
STANDARD KNIFE HOLDER
Turning the set screw (3) clockwise will make the
blade protrude out of the edge of the base part
(1). Turning the set screw (3) counter clockwise,
will retract the blade.
For a first test, turn out the blade until it protrudes
about 0.2mm (0.008”) out of the base part
OPTIONAL KNIFE HOLDER WITH NONIUS
Take the base part and the ring in your left hand and
twist the shaft until the knife point protrudes about 0.2
mm (0.008”) out of the edge of the base part.
Tighten the ring firmly against the base part. This will
prevent the cutting blade from coming loose during
cutting.
Make a manual test-cut on a small piece of media, of the same type that you will be using.
For contour cutting: Adjust the depth until the top layer is cut completely and that you can see a slight
scratch on the backing when peeling off.
At no times you should be able to see a scratch at the back side of the media.
For cutting through: Adjust the depth until the knife just cuts through the back side of the media

Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the correct depth is obtained.
