I had to cancel a cut. Now my Skycut is no longer responding when I click on Cut Now.
•
Try restartiing the Skycut and SignMaster.

A2 Operating Issues
The control panel
isn’t responding very well.
•
Press control panel icons with your finger and not your fingernail. You can also use a black rubber
stylus.
•
Make sure the control panel is clean.
____________________
My mat is rotating when the Skycut starts to cut!
•
Two pinch wheels need to be gripping the mat. Move the mat either left or right so that it is under two
outer pinch wheels and the pinch wheels are aligned under white arrows. Refer to
Section 1.09.
•
Make sure you are not trying to force the blade to cut too deeply and/or too quickly through a
thick/dense material like chipboard or craft plastic. Slow the speed, decrease the
Force
, and add more
passes.
____________________
My vinyl isn’t feeding evenly while cutting. It starts bunching up on the inside of the end cap.
•
Even if you feel the vinyl is aligned properly at the start of the cut, a slight “out of alignment” error will
become more pronounced with a long cut. When you first drop the pinch wheels, use the arrow keys to
feed the vinyl for the length of the cut to make sure it is feeding straight. If not, then about half-way
through the length of the vinyl needed, lift the pinch wheels and realign the vinyl. Continue testing the
alignment until you can verify that the vinyl is sufficently aligned for the entirety of your project.
____________________
The pinch rollers are not tight enough to hold the vinyl I’m cutting. The vinyl is slipping and rotating when I start
the cut.
•
The pinch wheels need to be over grit shafts (the dark gray rough areas along the revolving shaft. The
white arrows will help you align the pinch wheels in correct locations. Also, use outside locations versus
having, say, one pinch on the far right of the vinyl and a second pinch wheel only in the middle.

I hear a terrible stuttering sound when trying to cut chipboard (or other thick dense material).
•
That can be a symptom of forcing the blade to cut too deeply and/or too quickly through the chipboard.
Slow the speed, decrease the
Force
, and add more passes.
