Die Cutting With Thick Dies - Todo HS-00808 Manual De Instrucciones

DIE CUTTING WITH THICK DIES

On rare occasions you may find that the 'Die Cutting with Dies' instructions may
not work for thicker dies. In these situations the base plate insert can be removed.
The actual pressure needed to cut will vary depending on the actual die and the
weight of material that you are using, these instructions are for guidelines only.
1. Ensure the roller mechanism is to the end of the machine with the power
indicator light.
2. Take out the base plate insert, using the handle to lift it out.
3. Place the A plate into the base of the unit.
4. Place the die onto the A plate.
5. Place your material to be cut over your die and then your B plate on top.
6. Adjust pressure. The exact pressure will depend on the manufacturer of the die
and the weight of material. See settings table on page 15 for guidelines.
7. Turn the handle until the roller mechanism has gone over the complete die.
8. Roll the mechanism to the opposite end of the machine, or back to the start and
remove the die and card from the machine.
NOTE: You may feel the pressure increase slightly as the rollers go over the die. This is supposed to
happen. However, if you feel that you are having to force the rollers over the die reverse the rollers
and reduce the pressure on the machine before trying again. DO NOT reset dial during operation,
always reverse the roller back before resetting the dial.
NOTE: You will hear a cracking noise as the rollers go over the die; this is the die being pressed
through the card and into the cutting plate and is perfectly normal, although it can be alarming to hear
it the first time. You will also see marks appearing on your cutting plate – this is all part of the cutting
process and is supposed to happen.
