DO NOT touch the cutter with a magnet. It is safe, however, to cut magnetic materials, such as those used
on refrigerators and car exteriors.
•
DO NOT allow any liquids to spill or small items to fall into the cutter.
•
Mount the EV24 on its included stand or place it on a sturdy and stable table, desk, or trolley.
•
Always turn off the Skycut when not in use. Leaving the cutter turned on for extended periods of time can
possibly damage the machine.
•
Always turn off the Skycut before unplugging or removing the power cable from the wall outlet or power
strip.
•
Unplug the Skycut from a wall outlet or power strip during an electrical storm or when the cutter will not be
used for an extended period of time.
•
Transporting: When transporting the cutter, move the pinch wheel levers into the upward position. Remove
the blade from the blade holder and cover the tip of the blade with the plastic cap.
1.3 Warranty
•
IMPORTANT!
If your Skycut is damaged during shipment or appears to be defective, your dealer should be
notified as soon as possible.
•
For additional information regarding your warranty, please refer to your Skycut dealer.
•
It is recommended that you
retain the original box with packing materials
in case you ever need to ship your
Skycut.
1.4 Unpacking
•
Verify that you have received all contents. There is a checklist in
Section 1.05
. Please notify your Skycut
supplier immediately if anything is missing.
•
Remove all packaging before turning on the Skycut. Currently, the cutter ships with two end cap foam
protectors, zip ties on either side of the blade carriage, and tape on either end of the cutting strip.
Be very
careful when removing the zip ties
– it’s best to cut those ties from behind the machine versus in front.
Gently remove the tape at the ends of the cutting strip by rolling the tape away. Do not pull straight up.
•
Because the cutting mat must be folded over to fit into the box, it may have become slightly rounded during
shipping. Gently and only partially roll the mat in the opposite direction to remove the roundness and place
on a flat table to make sure the mat now lies horizontally to the surface. Refer to
Section 1.7.5
for additional
instructions on preparing the mat for use.
•
Use the enclosed test pen as you experiment and become familiar with operating the Skycut. Place scrap
paper on the mat and simply draw shapes rather than cut them. This will prevent possible damage to the
blade, mat, and cutting strip as you learn where shapes will cut and the basic operating procedures.
