- Page 18 User Guide Operation Instructions With the cutter switched on and the vinyl threaded through the cutter, use the “Option” button to access the position menu and then the up and down arrow keys to move the vinyl back and forth through the machine. As you do this watch the edges of the vinyl as they run past the ruler guide, the vinyl should remain at the same measurement whilst you move it back and forth.
- Page 19 User Guide Recommendations Speed settings - higher speeds can be used for cutting simple shapes and logos quickly, whereas we advise that lower speed settings should be used for intricate designs or small letters. Attempting to cut complicated images at high speeds can cause unwanted scratches or damage to the vinyl, our cutter has a minimum cutting size of 10mm so bare this in mind when preparing your design.
