Selecting a Location for Your Cutter

The first step to setting up your cutter is finding a good location for the machine. Consider these factors
when you are selecting a suitable place:
You will need to have access to both the front and rear of the machine for operations as well as for
loading and unloading new vinyl rolls. Try to find a space with adequate access to both the front
and back of the machine.
Since your cutter is a precision cutting device, you will want to find a location that will be stable to
insure cutting accuracy. Whether placing the unit on the stand, a floor or a table top, the accuracy
of the machine will be directly related to the stability of the platform it is placed on. Find a sturdy
floor space or table top for the machine and consider a location that will be out of the way of
people and other machines with moving parts while the cutter will be operating. Excessive moving
of the machine can not only disrupt accuracy of cutting but may also cause electrical components
inside the machine to dislodge and require otherwise unnecessary repairs and maintenance.
Fans located inside of the cutter can draw in outside dust from the area surrounding the cutter.
Excessive buildup of dust can cause either mechanical or electronic malfunctions. Keeping the
cutter as dust free as possible will help ensure trouble free operation. Try to find an area for the
cutter that will be free of any excessive dust and use the supplied cover when not in use.
All cutters will produce a small amount of noise while operating. Please take this into consideration
when selecting a location for your cutting purposes.
Do not remove the grounding plug from the power cord or attempt to use the cutter when it has
not been properly grounded.
