Safety & Cautions - Ioline Supernova I/S Series User Manual

Please read these safety guidelines before beginning operation of
the signcutter. The signcutter uses a very sharp blade when cutting.
The parts can move quickly. Always observe the following safety
precautions:
 Do not allow the material to become suddenly taut between
the plotter and a roll of material during plotting. A service
loop of unrolled material is required for problem free opera-
tion. Using the Autoloop function (enabled in the Control
Center) will create the required service loop by gently pulling
a set amount of material from the roll before cutting. Ioline
recommends using the Autoloop function when plotting on a
roll of material.
Do not try to repair the machine without factory authorization.

Only qualified service personnel should attempt any disas-
sembly or access to internal components. If external mechanical
adjustments are necessary, turn off the signcutter and discon-
nect it from all power sources (both the computer and the wall
outlet).
 Be careful with hair, jewelry, or loose clothing near the signcut-
ter. They can become caught in the mechanical parts.
Never move the carriage by hand. Use the Arrow keys and let

the machine do it.
 Keep hands away from the carriage when the signcutter is in
operation. The carriage will automatically move to its right end
position when the power is turned on.
Be careful when lifting the signcutter. Hold the bottom surfaces

of the signcutter to lift or move it.
 Keep fingers away from the drive shaft when the signcutter is
in operation.
Use caution when changing a blade in the blade holder. See the

Routine Maintenance chapter of this User Guide for the recommend-
ed procedure.
Be careful when handling the blades. They are sharp and could

cause an injury if mishandled. Although the blades are made
of an extremely hard material, they are brittle and can break if
dropped or mishandled.
