Safety measures
Please read the information and safety measures carefully prior to initial operation of the unit!
● 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 when it is connected to electricity supply.
● Never open the casing and do not make any modifications to the unit yourself.
● Ensure that neither liquids nor metal objects are put inside the vinyl cutter.
● 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.
● Pull the power plug if the unit will not be in use 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 destroyed by lightning.

Initial operation of machine and software
Caution! Please note that the smooth installation and complete configuration requires
DrawCut LabelStudio to be installed first.
Installation DrawCut LabelStudio
Your Secabo LC30 labelcutter is delivered with the cutting software DrawCut LabelStudio. This
software must be activated over the Internet. You do not necessarily need Internet access on the
computer, on which DrawCut will be installed. The activation can also be performed via another
computer.
In order to control your LC30 via your computer, install the software as described in the following:
● Disable the Windows Firewall as well as your anti-virus software for the duration of the
installation.
● Download the current version of DrawCut LabelStudio at
http://www.draw-cut.com/#downloads and follow the installation wizard.
● Find your DrawCut LabelStudio 26-digit serial number on the printout that was delivered
with your Secabo LC30. Enter it when you are prompted to do so.
● Now you can use DrawCut LabelStudio.
Installation of your Secabo LC30 in DrawCut LabelStudio
Please keep in mind that your Secabo LC30 can only be operated under Windows XP, Windows
Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Operation with an older version of
Windows is not possible.
● Connect the Secabo LC30 to your computer via the supplied USB cable.
● Switch on the device.

● Your Secabo LC30 will now be recognized. Windows will search for the appropriate drivers
and automatically install them. This can take some time. After that, the device is ready for
operation.
● Start DrawCut LabelStudio
.
● Drawcut LabelStudio immediately recognizes the Secabo LC30, a manual installation is not
necessary.
Initial operation of machine
● Unpack the LC30 labelcutter and place it on a stable surface. Avoid lifting the unit by its
shafts and axes. Instead, only lift it by its base plate at the bottom.
● Mount the supplied rubber feet by lifting the unit on one side and, one by one, screwing the
feet into the holes provided for this purpose from the bottom. The loose nut provided on
each foot is used for locking and fixing, once the final position is set.
● Thread the clamping elements for the cardboard tubes onto the three main shafts. Fix these
at the same distance from the rear wall - the scaling on the shaft will help you with this!

● Connect the LC30 to a 230 V socket via the supplied power cable.
● Now connect the LC30 to the computer on which you previously installed DrawCut
LabelStudio using a USB cable.
● Now switch on the device.
Installing and adjusting the blade
● Take one of the supplied cutting blades and place it in the blade holder in such a way, that
the sharp side extends at the front.
● Now set the cutting depth by turning the screw at the upper end of the blade holder.
● Initially, the depth is correctly set if you can carefully move your fingertip 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 adjust it later.
● Secure the blade setting by tightening the gold lock nut.
● Press the pin on the rear end of the blade holder to remove and replace the blade at any
time. Caution - risk of injury!
The various material thicknesses require different blade settings or even special blades; it may
therefore be necessary to repeat the adjustment described above.
Inserting the blade holder
● First, sufficiently loosen the clamping screw for the blade holder on the cutting head.
● Next, press down the blade holder from above into the hole on the right side until there is
contact and pull the lock nut tight. In doing so, please ensure that the blade holder is also
secured correctly by means of the fixture provided for this purpose.
