EN Quick Reference Guide Be sure to first read the Important Safety Instructions in the Product Safety Guide. Refer to the Operation Manual (PDF version on the CD or printed version) for detailed instructions.

Adjusting the Blade Extension

Adjusting the Cut Pressure If the material is not cut cleanly, even after adjusting the blade extension, add more cutting pressure.*

Attaching the Material to the Mat Note

Craft paper or fabric covered with decorative layer (that can easily separate) such as lam or foil is not recommended. If such media is used or tested it is recommended to clean the scanner glass at the bottom of the machine after every use.

Use a blade and mat combination appropriate for the material to be cut, as indicated in the following table. (Depending on your machine model, additional purchases may be required.) In addition, adjust the blade extension and cutting pressure.

After referring to the table above, set the blade extension to the indicated setting.

If the material is not cut cleanly, even * after adjusting the setting, increase the setting in increments of 0.5. If material is cut after increasing the setting by more than 0.5, too much of the blade may be extended, causing it to break. If the blade breaks, it may no longer be able to cut.

Fully turn the cap to the right to extend the blade tip to its maximum.

Note After adjusting the blade extension, perform trial cutting (Refer to the back of this sheet).

Peel off the protective sheet. Do not discard the protective sheet * peeled off the mat. In order to maintain the adhesive * strength, attach the protective sheet to the adhesive side of the mat after use.

Before attaching the material to the mat, use a corner of the adhesive side of the mat to test attaching it.

Firmly attach all of the material to the mat.

Make sure that there are * no wrinkles and no part can curl off.

For use with the standard mat. Do not place fabric * backed with iron-on contact sheet directly onto a mat with high tack fabric support sheet.

High tack adhesive fabric support sheet: By attaching this adhesive sheet to the standard mat, the adhesive strength of the mat is increased. Depending on the shape, the pattern may not be cleanly cut.
