Hello Vyatcheslav,

You must be sure, that leftmargin + leftmargindistance <= backspace
and rightmargin + rightmargindistance <= cutspace.

Working example:

\setuplayout[leftmargin=1cm, rightmargin=1.5cm,
  leftmargindistance=2mm, rightmargindistance=2mm,
  backspace=1.5cm, cutspace=2cm, width=fit]

Cheers, Peter
