Inserting the Blade Holder 

 

First turn the clamping screw for the blade holder on the cutting head until it 
is open wide enough. 

 

Then insert the blade holder from the top and press down against the stop in 
the hole on the right side and retighten the clamping screw

Inserting cutting vinyl 

 

Always insert the material to be printed into the unit from the rear. 

 

Pull  the  vinyl  up  to  the  cutting  bar  in  order  to  correctly  set  the  zero  point. 
Details  on  setting  the  zero  point  are  given  under  Point  6.3  in  these 
instructions. 

 

If  you  use  a  roll  of  vinyl  instead  of  vinyl  sheets,  the  vinyl  can  be  rolled  off 
cleanly with the aid of the roll holder supplied. 

 

When  inserting,  ensure  that  the  vinyl  is  inserted  straight  to  prevent  it  from 
distorting  during  transport.  When  the  vinyl  is  inserted  at  an  angle  of  only  a 
few millimeters, this can lead to the vinyl running highly off center during long 
plotting jobs. 

 

 

You  can  insert  the  vinyl  into  the  plotter  at  any  desired  point  as  long  as  the 
pressure  rollers  are  located  in  the  areas  of  the  yellow  arrows  on  the  cross-
member. 

Mount the pinch rollers by switching the locking lever. Make sure the pinch rollers 

are located on the edges of the vinyl (about 2cm inward) to ensure the vinyl is 

tracking correctly and a maximum cutting area is ensured 

.
