OPERATION MANUAL
•
Prior to using this device, be sure to read this Operation manual and become fully
familiar with its operation method and usage cautions.
•
While the plotter is operating (while it is moving or its blades are vibrating), abso-
lutely never bring any part of your body (face, hands), clothes, or other objects near
the flat bed (cutting panel), as serious injury may result.
Particularly when lifting the head and operating the device without a work piece in
order to check data, one's hand can enter under the head safety cover. As this may
cause serious injury, proceed with great care.
•
The head units (A, B, C) move at high speed. When checking work results or adjust-
ing work slippage or floating, be sure to stop the device and perform these actions in
either the local mode or with the power switched off.
•
When attaching tools (reciprocal cutter, etc.), be sure to power off the device before-
hand.
Attempting to change tools while the power is on presents the risk of unexpected
injuries due to erroneous panel operation, etc.
