Pressing the Local key again will restart the plot. To change the cutting force, turn the small wheel inside the cutting plotter on the right. The force can be set in 8 steps, where the lowest setting corresponds to 70g and the highest to 350g. - Page 8 ® 6. After cutting 6.1. Removing the media • After pressing the Online key in the operating panel, you can use the arrow keys to feed the me- dia forward and backward. To ensure clean cutting of the plotted objects, feed the media forward sufficiently to allow a clean cut at the cutting edge using a suitable knife.

Drag knives Drag knives are extremely sensitive, but also extremely sharp and dangerous precision tools. • Always keep knives well out the reach of children! • To avoid danger of injury, always handle knives with caution. • Handle drag knives with caution, and always replace the protective cap when not in use. If the tip of the knife comes into contact with a hard material such as glass or stone, tiny fissures may occur at the knife tip making the knife useless.
