Embossing With Thin Dies - Todo HS-00808 Manual De Instrucciones

EMBOSSING WITH THIN DIES

Some thin dies have intricate detail that need to be embossed into the card. There
are many of these dies on the market, but these instructions will work for all
standard embossing dies.
1. Ensure the roller mechanism is to the side of the machine.
2. Place your A Plate on top of the base plate
3. Place your die on the A Plate.
4. Place the card to be embossed over your die with your C Plate on top.
5. Place your D Plate on top of the C Plate.
6. Adjust the dial FOUR INCREMENTS higher than the nomal cutting level for
the D plate (this will be the same increase if using the B plate instead). The
exact pressure will depend on the manufacturer of the die and the weight of
material so you may need to adjust the dial up or down to get the perfect
pressure.
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.
TIP: Due to the increased pressure you may find
your D plate bends. To reduce the risk of this
occurring, alternate the side of the plate that gets
cut after each use.
