1Safety Precautions
Please read these instructions and safety precautions carefully before using your
vinyl cutter for the first time!
•Do not place any magnetic objects in the vicinity of the cutting head;
otherwise uniform contact pressure is not ensured.
•Do not remove the connection cable to the computer while plotting is in
progress.
•Relieve the pressure on the pressure rollers when not in use by moving the
pressure lever up.
•Do not reach into the unit with your hands when the power is connected.
•Never open the housing or attempt to modify the unit yourself.
•Ensure that liquids and metal objects do not get into the inside of the plotter.
•Ensure that the wall socket used is grounded and protected with a ground
fault switch.
•Ensure that the connected voltage (220V) does not deviate by more than
±10%. Otherwise install a voltage stabilizer.
•Disconnect the power cord when the unit is not used for a longer period of
time.
•Never reach into the unit in the vicinity of the blade holder during the cutting
operation!
•Discontinue any printing jobs in progress before readjusting the blade holder!
•Always ensure that the vinyl cutter is out of reach of children during operation
and never leave the unit or individual parts of it switched on without
supervision.
•Do not touch the tip of the sliding blade to avoid injury.
•Always place the unit on a stable base to prevent it from falling down.
•Do not operate the unit during thunderstorms; it can be damaged or

across the blade and feel only a light scratching. Since the depth adjustment
for the blade depends on the material, it may be necessary to change it later
(as a rule 0.05 mm to 0.1 mm).
