4. Unscrew the two Air Lines on the bottom back of the Board, and make sure that the Air Lines on the back of the Board are
not pinched as you place the Board on the Stand. Reattach the Air Lines on the inside of the Stand Arms to ensure maximum
airow.

Black Protective Covering Sheet
The face of the CMC is covered by a black Sintra protective sheet. This is used to protect your CMC. Do not remove the
Sintra. You will add one disposable slip sheet of matboard between the Sintra and the mat you are cutting, to prevent damage
to the CMC.

Fig A: Close up of the corner of the black Sintra. Fig B: Do not remove the black Sintra protective covering.
Unlocking the Shipping Blocks
1. Locate the four Shipping Blocks holding the Gantry in place. There are two on the upper Gantry (Fig A). One is to the left
of the Gantry on the underside of the top rail (Fig B) the other is to the right of the Gantry on top of the Rail (Fig C).

Unlock the Gantry Wheels
*IMPORTANT: DO NOT Operate the Wizard without first unlocking the
Gantry Wheels!*
1. The wheels on the Gantry are attached to a bar which is locked into place for shipping purposes. Locate the center Allen
Screw located at the bottom of the Gantry (Fig A); it is located between two other screws that will not be touched. Remove
the Allen Screw and the washer completely. DO NOT REMOVE THE OTHER SCREWS. You may hear/feel the Gantry
Wheels snap into place.

Hooking up the Gantry and ST 500 Air Lines
Connecting the Board Cable
*Be VERY CAREFUL when connecting the large Board Cable. Align the
four in-line pins carefully before applying pressure to plug them in. If
forced in incorrectly, they WILL cause malfunction of the Wizard Mat
Cutting system.*
1. The Board Cable connects between the ECU (Electrical Control Unit) and the Gantry. The ECU is the black shoebox-sized
peripheral with a row of LEDs. Connect the large Board Cable (Fig A) to back of the ECU (Fig B) by aligning the four in-line
pins and turning the locking ring until it “seats itself” and locks into place.
2. Connect the other end of the Board Cable to the back of the Gantry in the same manner (Fig C).
3. Move the Gantry to the far right of the Board and back to make sure the Board Cable does NOT get caught on anything. If
the Board Cable is obstructed, this WILL affect your cuts.
Fig A. Fig B. Fig C.
Fig A: Look for the 4 in-line pins on Board Cable. Fig B: Plug one end into back of the ECU. Fig C: The other end is
plugged into the back of the Gantry.
Attaching Air Lines and Air Regulator
1. Go back and make sure that the Air Lines on the back of the Board are not pinched between the Board and the Stand. If you

NOTE: If you did not install the SL 500, this Red Air Line Connector from the Gantry would plug
into the right side of the Air Regulator.
4. Plug in the Red Air Line Connector from the bottom of the "Y" into the right side of the Air Regulator.
5. Plug the Air Line coming off the left side of the Air Regulator into your main air supply via 1/4" NPT female connector, or

Calibration and Alignment of the Straight Line Trimmer
Using the Straight Line Trimmer
*Do not press down on the Trimmer Handle while moving in an upwards
direction, or you will break the Blade.*
1. Place at least one piece of matboard larger than the mat being trimmed behind the Straight Line Trimmer to
avoid cutting into the Board.
2. Place the matboard to be cut underneath the Straight Line Trimmer; use the handy ruler for placement.
3. Flip the clamp switch upwards to lock the matboard down (Fig A).
4. Raise the handle and pull upwards to bring the cutting assembly to a position above the mat to be cut (Fig
B).
5. Press down on the handle and pull downwards (Fig C).
6. Flip the clamp switch downwards to unlock the matboard, and remove the matboard.
Fig A. Fig B. Fig C.
Fig A: Flip the clamp switch upwards to lock the matboard. Fig B: Lift handle and raise above mat to trim. Fig C: Press
down on handle and pull downwards
Calibration and Alignment of the Straight Line Trimmer
Trim a Mat
Place a piece of matboard at the 10” mark, and using the Trimmer, trim it (Fig A). Measure the width of the mat-
board. If it does not measure 10” across the top and across the bottom, the Trimmer needs to be calibrated.
Calibrate the Bottom of the Straight Line Trimmer
1. Start with the bottom. Loosen the bottom Locking Knob by turning it Clockwise (Fig B).
2. Using a 7/16” Open-Ended Wrench, loosen the Locking Nut (see Arrow in Fig C).
3. Using a 3/16” Allen Wrench, turn the Alignment Adjustment Screw Clockwise to move the Trimmer to the
Right; turn it Counter-Clockwise to move the Trimmer to the left (Fig C). When moving to the Left, you will need
to push the Trimmer to the Left so that the Alignment Adjustment Screw stays on contact with the rail.
4. Tighten the bottom Locking Knob by turning it Counter-Clockwise.

5. Cut the mat again... remember we are looking at the bottom of the mat. When the bottom of the matboard
cuts the correct width, retighten the Locking Nut (Arrow in Fig C) to keep the Alignment Adjustment Screw from
moving.

Fig A: Trim a piece of matboard and measure. Fig B: Turn bottom lock knob Clockwise. Fig C: Locking Nut, and ad-
justing Alignment Adjustment Screw. Fig D: Turn bottom lock knob Counter-Clockwise.
Calibrate the Top of the Straight Line Trimmer
1. Trim a tall piece of matboard at 10” and measure across the top and across the bottom. If it does not measure
10” across the top and across the bottom, continue.
2. Loosen the top locking knob by turning it Counter-Clockwise.
3. Using a 7/16” Open-Ended Wrench, loosen the Locking Nut (see Arrow in Fig B).
4. Turn the Alignment Adjustment Screw Clockwise to move the Trimmer to the Right; turn it Counter-Clockwise
to move the Trimmer to the Left (Fig B). When moving to the Left, you will need to push the Trimmer to the Left
so that the Alignment Adjustment Screw stays on contact with the rail.
5. Tighten the top locking knob by turning it Clockwise (Fig C).
6. Cut the mat again, and readjust if necessary. When the top of the matboard cuts the correct width, retighten
the Locking Nut (Arrow in Fig B) to keep the Alignment Adjustment Screw from moving.
Fig A. Fig B. Fig C.
Fig A: Turn top lock knob Counter-Clockwise. Fig C: Locking Nut, and adjusting Alignment Adjustment Screw. Fig D:
Turn top lock knob Clockwise.
*Do not use the Wizard to cut anything wider than 53” from the left
edge of the matboard... this INCLUDES the outside cut... without first
removing the Straight Line Trimmer.*
