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 on a at surface, cut the strapping
tape and lift the cover of the box away. Take care to save the packaging.
2. Working together, carefully lift the CMC straight up out of the box.
3. Gently set the CMC upright resting on the foam corners.
4. Position the CMC on the stand, making sure that none of the air lines
are crimped, and that the grounding strap on the right rear side of the
board is not crimped between the board and stand arm.
5. Remove the foam corners and move the box 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.”
Removing the Shipping Blocks
1. Locate the four shipping blocks holding the gantry in place. There are two on
either side of the gantry on top of the upper rail.

2. There are two shipping blocks on either side of the gantry
on the bottom rail. One is to the left side of the gantry on the
underside of the bottom rail. The other is to the right of the
gantry on the top of the bottom rail.
3. Remove the two screws holding the gantry cover in place, and set
the cover and screws aside.
4. 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
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 toothed
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 toothed pulley. If they do not, call Wizard Technical Support.

Head Installation
Install the Head onto the Gantry
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 and ease
the head onto the gantry.
5. Roll the head up the gantry until it lines up to the head grabber arm on the
right side of the gantry.
6. Holding the head in position so that the head lines up neatly to the head grabber arm,
replace the two 5/32” screws, making sure they go into the head grabber arm and into the
head and tighten rmly.
7. Connect the air to the head by twisting the two air ttings together, matching the colors.
8. Connect the head power plug (square connection) to the head grabber arm.
