Locations for use and storage
Where to use and store the vinyl Cutter
Location, Location, Location! It’s not just important for real estate. Where your vinyl
cutter “lives” in your home or business is a vitally important element of your success.
You need access to a 110 volt grounded electrical outlet. That’s the
standard household kind with three holes, not two. Be safe...
don’t plug your cutter into an already over-crowded powerstrip or
system of extension cords.
Dust and dirt will limit the useful life of your cutter. If you use it in a
dusty or dirty environment the cooling fans will suck in the dust and
it will get inside the machine and gum up the works.
Operate on a stable surface. A solid flat surface is needed for your
vinyl cutter to do its best work. If it wobbles or vibrates during oper-
ation your cut is not going to be as sharp and clean as it could be.
Access is important. The SC2 Cutter is a large machine, but it
doesn’t belong in the corner during use. You’ll need to access the
front and back of the cutter to operate it and change the vinyl rolls.

There will be some noise when the cutter is in use. Take that into
account when you locate your vinyl cutting headquarters.
Position the SC2 Cutter near enough to your computer to be able to
attach it via USB cable or 9-pin serial cable. Internet access will be
necessary for downloading drivers and software.
