Mat Clamp Pressure
Setting the Mat Clamp Pressure
You can toggle the air pressure to the mat clamps between standard and low pressure with the
Mat Clamp Pressure Knob located on the control panel on the left side of the board. This will allow
you to cut delicate material, such as foam core, without crushing the material in the clamps. The
amount of pressure can be adjusted with the regulator knob mounted under the control panel.
Standard Clamp Pressure
Push the Clamp Pressure Knob in to use the standard clamp air pressure, which is suitable for most
material.
Low Clamp Pressure
Pull the Clamp Pressure Knob out to use low clamp pressure, which is suitable for more delicate
material, such as foam core. Lower pressure is applied to the mat clamps so that it does not
crush the material. When you have finished cutting the delicate material you can push the knob
in to reapply the standard air pressure to the clamps.

Clamp Pressure Adjustment
To adjust the clamp pressure, see

Variable Pressure Optimization (VPO) Feature
Adjusting the Head Air Pressure for Regular or Dense Matboard
The head air regulator is located on the left side of the head and controls the pressure of the footblock against
the matboard as it is cutting.
• The minimum air pressure should be 35 psi, otherwise
the blade may not cut through the matboard.
• The maximum air pressure should be less than or equal
to 60 psi to avoid crushing the matboard.
The software will prompt for a head pressure change
only
if the
current mat is a different setting than the previously cut mat. If
the settings are the same as the previously cut
mat, the CMC will skip the following instructions
and proceed to
“
Insert Blade Cartridge and
Adjust Blade Depth” page 22
