3-3 Installing a Blade Do not touch the tip of the blade with your fingers. Doing so may result in injury, and the cutting performance of the blade will be impaired. NOTICE Be sure to support the tool mounting screw from below when installing the blade holder. Cutting quality may become poor if installed without supporting the screw in this way. -

Page 17: Cutting Test (How To Adjust Blade Force/Adjusting The Cutter Blade)
3-7 Cutting Test (How to Adjust Blade Force/Adjusting the Cutter Blade) Before carrying out actual cutting, you may wish to perform a "cutting test" to check whether the unit produces the cutout satisfactorily. This is done by examining the results of the cutting test, and adjusting the blade force and the amount of blade extension. The cutting test should be repeated until the appropriate cutting conditions for the material in use are discovered. -

How to Adjust Blade Force The pen force control slider is located on the right side of the unit. Move the blade force control slider sideways to alter the blade force. The pen force control slider can be positioned at marks indicating the 11 levels available. When making the blade force setting, it is important to Blade Force take into consideration the hardness of the blade as well as... -

Page 20: Applying The Completed Cutout
3-9 Applying the Completed Cutout Once cutting has been completed, follow the procedure below for application instructions. - Make sure beforehand that the surface where the work is to be stuck is clean and free of all dust or oily deposits. - When applying the work to a transparent surface, such as a window, you can use a water-based pen (which can be wiped off afterwards) to mark guidelines on the reverse side of the glass, to aid in getting the work aligned properly. -
Page 21: When Cutting Is Completed
3-10 When Cutting is Completed When not in use for extended periods, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Failure to do so may result in danger of shock, electrocution, or fire due to deterioration of the electrical insulation. NOTICE Do not leave the tool mounting screws tightened. - Page 22 Performing a Self-test The CM-24/12 is equipped with a "self-test" function to conveniently allow you to check whether or not it is capable of operating normally. If the CM-24/12 is not performing correctly, follow the steps below to perform a self-test. A computer is not required in order to carry out the self-test.

Page 24: Plotting On Paper Media
4-2 Plotting on Paper Media The CM-24/12 is also capable of plotting on paper media using plotter pens made by this company. Before cutting, plotting using pen and paper can ensure that your design is correct without wasting materials. * Since the design of the CM-24/12 differs inherently from that of dedicated plotters, it does not accommodate functions such as high-speed plotting, automatic pen changes, pen dry protection, or the like. -
Page 25: Repeating The Same Cutting
4-3 Repeating the same cutting The CM-24/12 can store the data sent from the computer in a buffer (a temporary memory area), and use this data to repeat cutting. When the SETUP key has been pressed and cutting data is sent, the data is stored in the buffer at the same time that it is cut. After cutting has finished, the data that has already been sent can be used to perform cutting again until the SETUP key is pressed. -

5 About the Blade This section indicates the proper cutting conditions for various types of materials, as well as blade lifespans. Cutting conditions and blade life may vary according to the quality of the material and conditions of use. Making the settings for the conditions described below does not automatically guarantee attractive cutting results in all situations. Before performing actual cutting, be sure to carry out a cutting test and make any necessary adjustments (refer to "3-7 Cutting Test to Check Blade Force"... -
