STAND ASSEMBLY

BLADE ASSEMBLY

1. Unscrew the cap from the blade carriage.
2. Set the brass ring on blade carriage to the fully down position.
3. Remove the protective cover from a new blade.
4. Insert the blade into the top of the blade carriage.
5. Screw the cap back onto the blade carriage.
6. Adjust the carriage cap until the blade is protruding approximately 0.4 mm.

1. Adjust the brass ring until it fits snug against the cap. This will help keep the cap in place during operation.

NOTE: Blades should be replaced every 6 months. They might need to be replaced more often if cutting thicker material such as flock, glitter or reflective materials.

FIXING THE BLADE INTO THE HOLDER

a) Pressing rod
b) Blade cover
c) Blade
d) Shank
e) Blade adjustment nut

1. Loosen the blade adjustment nut and rotate the shank to adjust the length of the exposed blade tip. Determine the tip length according to the thickness of the material:

A) Material thickness
B) Base thickness
V) Correct cutting depth
X) Left -blade tip too long; Right -blade tip too short

1. Press the pressing rod when you want to change blade. Take out the blade when it is exposed.
2. NOTE: The blade tip is very sharp - do not touch it with the finger due to possible injury and blade blunting risk!

INSTALLING THE BLADE HOLDER IN THE CARRIAGE

A) Carriage slot (holds the blade assembly in carriage arm)
B) Locking knob (allows access to the blade or pen carriage for accessory replacement)

1. Loosen the locking knob on the carriage arm.
2. Place blade carriage into the carriage arm slot.
3. Tighten the locking knob on the carriage arm.

DISPLAY, CONTROL PANEL AND SETTINGS

The main screen allows to set the main settings of the cutter like the cutting speed, cutting force and cut a test pattern or check the amount of force that is currently set. Main screen options:

"Reset"	Reset the operation of the machine and set the carriage arm to its right most position.
"Option"	Enter the offline-/pause-mode.
"Setup"	Enter the setup mode.
"Move"	Cuts a small test shape for testing the current force and speed settings. Used to determine the proper cutting speed and force settings needed for different materials without wasting a bigger piece of them.
"Origin"	Used to test z-axis functionality (by dropping the blade down if the carriage is functioning properly) or to set a new origin point when the machine is in offline-mode.
↓/↑	Adjusts the cutting speed. A cutting speed of 300 mm/s is a (reasonable) default speed that can be used for most cuts. When working with smaller and more detailed images, a slower speed may be required. When working with larger and less detailed images, a higher speed can be set for shortening the operation time.
←/→	Adjusts the cutting force. A cutting force of 100g is a good general starting place to work from when trying to determine the force needed for a specific material. All cuttable materials will tear in the amount of force needed so proper testing should always be made to determine the right amount of used force. A proper amount of force is when the blade fully penetrates the material to be cut while not cutting through the backing material.

Offline-mode is used to reposition the cutting material and blade so that a new starting position can be set for the next design. This mode can also be accessed while the machine is in operation and will pause the current cutting process. Although changes can be made to the material and blade positions if offline-/pause-mode is entered during cutting, but making changes to either setting is not normally recommended. Offline mode options:

“Reset”	Reset the operation of the machine and set the carriage arm to its right most position.
“Option”	Ignores any changes that have been made to the material or blade positions and exits offline-/pause-mode, returning the machine to the main screen. Resumes any cutting that was taking place when offline-/pause-mode was entered.
“Setup”	Without function in this mode.
“Move”	Accepts any changes that have been made to the material or blade positions and exits offline-/pause-mode returning the cutter to the main screen. Resumes any cutting that was taking place when offline-/pause-mode was entered from the new blade/material positions.
“Origin”	Accepts any changes that have been made to the material or blade positions and exits offline-/pause mode returning the cutter to the main screen. Resumes any cutting that was taking place when Offline-/pause-mode was entered from the new blade/material positions.
↓/↑	Reposition the material by moving the feed rollers. After movements being made we can confirm the changes by pressing the “Move” or “Origin” buttons or cancel it by pressing the “Option” button.
←/→	Reposition the blade by moving the carriage arm. After movements being made we can confirm the changes by pressing the “Origin” buttons or cancel by pressing the “Option” button.

OPERATION

1. Place the roll on top of the stand rollers. For heat press vinyl, please flip the roll:

1. Release the pinch rollers release levers:

1. Feed the vinyl underneath the pinch rollers (if working from a single sheet instead of a roll, the vinyl can also be feed from the front):

1. Adjust the pinch rollers so there is one roller located on each side of the vinyl (and, on models with 3 or more rollers, one roller near the center). Avoid lowering a pinch roller to the gap between the two feed rollers:

1. Leave a gap of between 1.27 - 3.8mm (1 / 2^ - 1 1 / 2^ ) from the edge of the roller and the edge of the vinyl on both sides:

1. Engage the pinch rollers by pushing down on the pinch roller release levers.
2. Turn on the machine (if not been turned on yet).

Changing cutting position

1. Press the "Option" button to enter the offline-mode.
2. Adjust the vinyl to where you want to make your cut to start by using the up and down arrow buttons on the control panel:

1. Now, adjust the blade to where you want your cut to start by using the left and right arrow buttons:

1. Now press the "Origin" button to tell the cutter that this is the location where you would like the cut to begin.
2. NOTE: When choosing a starting location for your design, remember that the process will start in the bottom right area of the design. Leave enough room to the left of and behind the starting location to finish the cut.

If you would like to make other adjustments to the pressure, speed or other settings you can do so now. If you are setting up for your first cut with the machine then the default values should be a good starting point.

If you make any adjustments to your cutter, make sure that you return to the main screen before you attempt to cut.

Software operation

1. Attach the power cord to the cutter and then plug in the unit and turn on the power.
2. If you are using a serial cable to connect the machine to a computer then no further setup is necessary. Simply connect one end of the cable to the machine and the other end to a computer and setup is complete. If you have more than one serial connection on your computer or you are experiencing communication issues between the machine and computer then you may to verify that the correct COM port is being used in your software setup, but for most users the COM port will be COM1.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Solution
Machine cannot connect to software.	Software port settings, as shown below:
Paper deviation occurred during cutting	Because the tension of paper press is inconsistent, rotate the two yellow brass nuts on each paper press to the same height, then the pressure is balanced, as shown below:
	Rotate them to the same height.
The effect of small graphics cutting is not ideal.	When the cutting height is 3-5 mm letters, the software compensation value is set to 0.45 and the speed is adjusted to 400 mm/s. When the cutting height is more than 5 mm letters, the software compensation value is set to 0.3 and the speed is adjusted to 600 mm/s or more:
	Cutting height for 3-5 mm compensation Settings
Often repeated cutting, cutting before automatic paper and other problems.	Cancel the automatic paper feeding function after cutting in the software, as shown below:
