Cut out engraving setup and initialization
1. Tighten the locking knob to the left of the spindle. The position of the
spindle bracket (up or down) and the micrometer dial is not important.
2. If you are using the vacuum nose cone, snap the foam ring and pressure foot
into the vacuum nose cone.
3. Secure the material to the table surface with clamps, tape, adhesive spray, or
turn on the T-Vac vacuum.
4. Put the initialization gage under the edge of the material with approximately
half the gage showing as seen in the illustration.
5. Move the spindle over the gage so that the pressure foot or nose cone
opening straddles the edge of the material (half over the material and half
over the gage). The objective is to have the nose cone rest on the material
while the cutter tip can be lowered to the gage.
6. Press the Z axis down arrow key on the control pad so that the nose cone
presses lightly on the material surface. If you are using the vacuum nose
cone, lower the nose cone so that the foam ring compresses slightly.
