BannerJohn 1,324 Posted February 18, 2009 remove the cover of the carriage.There should be a rod type thing that goes into the blade holder that lowers it. I have seen it slip out. Just stick it back in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F1Audio 0 Posted February 18, 2009 There's a type of cooper coil cylinder, where is the rod? And i think it may be connected, bc when you push down on the holder the inside cylinder moves. I dont think its getting signal or power to control the arm from the cutter its self.... I dunno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d4d330 0 Posted February 18, 2009 my pcut does that if I tighten the blade holder screw all the way tight, it sticks though too far and rubs the coil housing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F1Audio 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Dont believe thats possible with mine, the blade holder's screw when tightened expands outward away from the whole thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F1Audio 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Oh and another thing, just before this signblazer or the cutter would freeze half way or partially thru the cut. I dunno whats up with this thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenimes 42 Posted February 18, 2009 With all of the problems you are having, I am leaning towards a motherboard issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vick 0 Posted May 16, 2019 I have the same issue what is the solution .but mine is go up and down but not putting enough pressure please help me with this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,626 Posted May 16, 2019 What do you have the pressure set to? Do you have the blade set correctly? Is the cutting strip still good? Is the blade holder properly seating and secure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 16, 2019 Also, are the wheels of the carriage head firmly down in the track? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
