Setting up

Selecting a Location for Your Cutter

The first step to setting up a LaserPoint is finding a good location for the machine. Consider these factors
when you are selecting a suitable place:
The stand has a footprint of approximately 25" x 35". If you intend on using the LaserPoint without
the stand, you will need a desktop space of approximately 35" x 18" with the included media rollers
attached, or 35" x 11" without.
You will need to have access to both the front and rear of the machine for operations as well as for
loading and unloading new vinyl rolls. Try to find a space with adequate access to both the front
and back of the machine.
Since the LaserPoint is a precision cutting device, you will want to find a location that will be stable
to insure cutting accuracy. Whether placing the unit on the floor or a table top, the accuracy of the
machine will be directly related to the stability of the platform it is placed on. Find a sturdy floor
space or table top for the machine and consider a location that will be out of the way of people and
other machines with moving parts while the cutter will be operating. Excessive moving of the
machine can not only disrupt accuracy of cutting but may also cause electrical components inside
the machine to dislodge and require otherwise unnecessary repairs and maintenance.
Fans, located inside of the LaserPoint cutter, can draw in outside dust from the area surrounding
the cutter. Excessive buildup of dust can cause either mechanical or electronic malfunctions.
Keeping the LaserPoint cutter as dust free as possible will help ensure trouble free operation. Try
to find an area for the LaserPoint cutter that will be free of any excessive dust.
All cutters will produce a small amount of noise while operating. Please take this into consideration
when selecting a location for your cutting purposes.
Do not remove the grounding plug from the power cord or attempt to use the cutter when it has
not been properly grounded.

Unpacking

Remove all contents from your shipping box. If you have not already done so, please refer to the
Unpacking Guide to take account of all of the included components.
Cut or clip the restraining plastic straps from the cutter. Be careful to not cut anything other than the
restraints.
