2.2 Blade holder introduction
Adjustment depth knobs

Blade
When handling cutter blades, be careful to avoid cutting your fingers or
other parts of your body.
WARNING
≤500gCardboard,
corrugated paper
Calibration sensor
For cutting media which are too
thick for the uitable for cutting media
from 0.25 to 0.5 mm thick
For cutting high-intensity
reflective film.
For thick media. The sharply
angled tip provides a longer
cutting edge. Suitable for cutting
media from 0.5 to 1.5 mm thick.
For cutting sandblast rubber.
For adhesive stickers,
instant paste
For Film ,
very soft material

2.3 Replacing the blade
Step1 Step2 Step3
Step1/Step2/Step3
1. Push the blade to the bottom of the blade holder.
2. Adjust the blade tip to suitable length by rotating “Adjustment depth knobs”
and then tighten the lock.
3. Press the push-pin to remove the blade from the blade holder when replacing blade.
Notice
The blade is a consumable item, and you’ll always get the best quality cut with a newer
blade. Please replace with a new blade when:
1. The tip of blade is broken.
2. The cutting traces are not as good as they were.
3. The blade will not cut cleanly even though the blade force has been raised
significantly.
Do not touch the tip of the blade with your fingers.
WARNING

2.4 Adjust the blade length
The blade length is adjusted by turning the blade adjustment knob.
• To extend the cutter blade, turn the knob in the A direction.
• To retract the cutter blade, turn the knob in the B direction.
How to confirm the right height
Gradually increase the blade length to suit the thickness of the medium being used.
The ideal blade length is a length that is slightly less than the combined thickness of
the film and its backing sheet, but greater than the thickness of the film itself.
Adjust the blade length so that only traces of the blade appear on the backing sheet
when a cutting test is performed. If the blade cuts right through the backing sheet,
decrease the blade length. If the blade does not cut the film cleanly, increase the
blade length.

The most suitable length for blade
AB
Be sure to correctly adjust the blade length. If the blade length is too long for the
thickness of the medium being used, you may damage the writing panel and/or
the cutter blade.

3.2 Connecting to Computer
Only install the software, don’t need to install any driver.
Operation cannot be guaranteed in the following cases:
• When connection has been made to a USB hub or an add-on
USB board

the USB driver
• Do not connect or disconnect the USB cable while starting up the
computer or the plotter
• Do not disconnect the USB cable within a 5-second period of
connecting it
• Do not connect or disconnect the USB cable while data is being
transferred
• Do not connect multiple plotters to a single computer
Use a USB cable or an RS-232C cable in accordance with the
interface chosen.After the connection is successful, the software
will show whether the normal connection.

3.3 Installing Tools
Step1.....Loosen the tool holder screw sufficiently to enable a cutter
pen to be inserted up to its flange.
Step2 Step3
Step2.....Push the cutter pen all the way into the holder until it contacts
the upper part of the tool holder.
Step3..... Tighten screw.
When you push the tool holder up with your fingers,take care not to touch
the cutter blade.
WARNING
3.4 Turning on the cutter
1.Securely plug the other end of the power cord into an electrical outlet of the
specified voltage.
2.Turn on the power.
3.The green power lamp on the control panel will light, and the Y bar and
carriage will start to move as shown in the figure below. These operations
are part of the initialization process.

carriage
The figure below shows what the
plotter does when the power is
turned on. The tool carriage returns
to the Home position.
3.5 Calibration the sensor
Step1......Put a blank A4 paper on the flatbed.
Step2.....Move the car to the middle of the paper．
Step3.....Install the pen holder in hold2 and select the appropriate pen pressure.
Step4.....Open the software to find the calibration interface
Step5.....Direct calibration, calibration is successful, the interface appears a correct
XY parameters, click ok.
