Saga SAGA-1350I User Manual - 8. Drag Knives

8. Drag knives

Drag knives are extremely sensitive, extremely sharp and 

dangerous precision tools.

• Always keep knives well out the reach of children!

• To avoid danger of injury, always handle knives with caution.

• Handle drag knives with caution, and always replace the protective cap when not in use. 

  If the tip of the knife comes into contact with a hard material such as glass or stone, tiny

  fissures may occur at the knife tip making the knife useless. Note the following to avoid 

  unnecessary wear and tear of your drag knives and to ensure maximum working life.

• Avoid cutting the backing of loaded media. The deeper you cut into the loaded material,

  the more wear and tear the drag knives are exposed to.

• Always set the cutting depth of the knives to cut the media precisely and cleanly without 

  cutting too deep. Extending the knives beyond the required cutting depth impacts the 

  service life of the knives without achieving better cutting results.

• Always use the right custom knives for thicker material 

• Ragged edges on cutting the loaded media show that the knives are blunt. Always 

  replace blunt knives immediately!
