Setting up the CMC
Congratulations on acquiring the Wizard™ computerized mat cutter (CMC). The following instructions will
walk you through unpacking and setting up the CMC.
Begin by clearing an area for the CMC. Refer to the Stand Instructions for the minimum amount of space
needed.
Setting up the Stand or Wall Mount
*CAUTION: The stand MUST be assembled before unpacking
the CMC so it can be immediately installed in the operating
position.*
Assembling the Stand Assembly
Refer to the stand assembly instructions located in the box. If the instructions or any parts are missing, call
Technical Support at [phone].
Taking the CMC out of the Box
1. With the help of a second person, place the box carefully on a at surface,
cut the strapping tape and lift the cover of the box away. Take care to save the
packaging.
2. The drive shaft is the thin cylindrical bar on the left that runs the length of the
Gantry. The gantry arm is the thick rectangular housing on the right that runs
the length of the gantry. Only use the gantry arm to move the gantry across the
board.
3. Working together, carefully lift the CMC straight up out of the box. Gently set
the CMC upright resting on the foam corners.
4. Position the CMC on the wall mount or stand, making sure that none of the air
lines are crimped, and that the grounding strap on the rear side of the board is not
crimped between the board and stand arm.
5. Remove foam corners and move the boxy out of the way.
6. Follow the instructions that came with the stand to secure the CMC into place and attach the grounding
strap.
7. Place the foam corners back into the box. Save packaging, foam corners and shipping blocks (removal
instructions below) for future use. See Contract Section 1 “Shipping Charges.”
NEVER SKIP AHEAD ON ANY STEP! Never pull/push on the Drive
Shaft to move the Gantry. Use the Gantry Arm.

Remove Gantry Cover
1. Remove the screw holding the bottom gantry cover in place, and set the cover
and screw aside aside.
Removing the Shipping Blocks
1. Locate the four shipping blocks holding the gantry in place.
There are two on the upper gantry. One is to the left of the
gantry on the underside of the top rail,
and one is to the right of the gantry on the top of the rail.
There are two shipping blocks on the lower gantry on
either side of the gantry on top of the the bottom rail.
2. Remove the shipping blocks by loosening
the 3/16” Allen screw from the T-Nut. Slide
the T-Nuts to the right end of the rail; a pencil
tip helps. Reattach the T-Nuts to the shipping
blocks and place them in the shipping box for
storage.

Check Squareness
Check the Drive Belt Lines
1. Move the gantry all the way to the left. Move the gantry slowly
toward the right until a red mark is visible on the drive belt of the
upper gantry. Conrm that the red mark lines up with the red mark
on the drive pulley.
Without moving the gantry, look at the lower drive belt of the
gantry and make sure the red mark lines up on the lower drive
belt and the drive pulley. If they do not, call the Help Desk.
Head Installation
Install the Head onto the Gantry
Do not pick up the Head using the Blade Depth
Knob.
1. Remove the two 5/32" screws from the head and set aside.
2. Move the gantry to the right edge of the CMC.
3. Point the head so that the foot block faces toward the CMC and the wheels are
close to the bottom of the gantry.
4. Line up the wheels on the head to the center channels of
the Gantry arm. Ease the Head onto the gantry arm and ease
the head onto the gantry.
5. Roll the head up on the gantry until it lines up to the head grabber arm
(attached to the right side of the gantry).
