(For cutter blades ⑥, one replacement set consisting of five blades is available)
Instructions for use
1. First, insert the straight core needle ④ or the bending type core needle ⑤ at the bottom of the floating pole of the needle core ②, and fix it using the pressure bolt for the needle core ⑨. In this case, use the bending type core needle ⑤ if the cut diameter is up to 50 mm, and use the straight core needle ④ for a cut diameter larger than 50 mm.
2. Next, at the groove of the floating pole of the cutter blade ③, attach the blade ⑥ with two pressure bolts from the cutter blade ⑩.
3. Thread the supporting iron ① into the floating pole of the needle core ② and the floating pole for the cutter blade ③.
4. Set the part marked with "◁" of the floating pole of the needle core ② to zero to match the supporting iron ① as shown in Figure A, and firmly tighten with the knob.
5. Then, also shift the part marked with "◁" of the floating pole for cutter blade ③ to a desired position on the supporting iron ① determined by the radius of the gasket to be cut, and tighten firm with the knob.
6. Before cutting, place the material on a sheet of plywood board or a corrugated paper that is placed on a flat base or floor. Then, put the gasket cutter as shown in Figure B, hold the floating pole of the needle core with your left hand ②, and lightly dig in the straight core needle ④ or the bending type core needle ⑤. Now, lightly holding the floating pole for cutter blade ③ with your right hand, rotate it to cut forward while slightly pushing as if you were making a circle.
