Tools and Tool Handling 27

OFF-CENTER HOLES

The second keyway holds the tool at 11 degrees off-center to the

direction of tool travel. Using the pounce wheel in the angled

position causes the points to drag slightly as the wheel moves

forward. This produces larger, slightly elongated holes suited for

heavy or clay-coated paper and for bold dusting applications.

PLOTTER SPEED

In the straight (aligned) position, the pounce wheel works best at

reduced plotter speeds. The angled (off-center) position

produces distinct holes at any plotting rate up to full speed. See

the

GRAPHIX ADVANTAGE Reference

for more information on

controlling the plotter speed.

POUNCE WHEEL HOLDER INSTALLATION

To install the pounce wheel holder

1. Select the pounce wheel holder from the molded tool rack in

the rear cover.

2. A plastic lift washer is used to reduce friction between the tool

and the lift fork of the carriage spindle during operation.

There should be one installed on the pounce wheel holder. If

not, slip a lift washer from the Tool Kit over the barrel and slide

the washer to the top of the holder.

3. Hold the pounce wheel holder upright over the carriage

spindle. Rotate the barrel until the desired keyway is oriented

above the protruding key inside the carriage spindle. Lower

the pounce wheel holder into the carriage spindle.

4. When the pounce wheel holder is in place, swing the tool force

arm and snap it over the cone-shaped cap.

5. Check the pounce wheel position by looking under the

carriage to make sure the wheel is oriented at the desired

angle.

6. Pouncing generally requires higher tool force settings than

drawing or cutting. To begin, set the tool force dial between 5

1 2 ... 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 ... 82 83
