I. General Safety Rules
Please read the following before operating the plotter!
1. Do not connect or remove serial cable/parallel cable when the unit is
powered up. Make all connections with the power off.
2. Keep your hands and hair away from the metal rollers at all times to
prevent injury from moving parts and cutting blade.
3. Keep all magnetic sensitive and other magnetic material away from
the unit. This may cause damage to the electrical components.
4. To ensure the machine work safely and reliably, please always
connect the power cord to grounded power outlet.
5. Turn the power off when the machine is not in use.
6. If there is no media (vinyl, paper, etc.) in the machine do not lock down
pinch rollers. Locking them without media may cause damage to the
rubber traction material and damage the metal bottom roller.
7. Do not attempt to pull media manually through machine as this may
damage the stepping motors and control unit.
8. This unit works from 110v power system. If you do not have 110v a
voltage stabilizer should be used.
9. To prevent damage to the moving track do not attempt to move the
unit by lifting from the top. Always move the unit by holding from the
bottom.

V. Loading paper
1. Adjust the place of pinch-roller according to paper-width.
Cutting plotter has 2 to 4 pinch-roller assemblies (depending on
machine size) and they can be moved on the guide rail. When moving,
please ensure the handle of the pinch-roller is lifted up, then hold the
back of the holder and push it to the left or the right. Do not pull the
roller bar in the front, otherwise the machine precision will be affected.
2. Placement of the pinch rollers:
ٛa. Pinch-roller is in the place out of the scope of the pattern.
ٛb. Pinch-roller is 10-50mm away from the edges of paper.
ٛc. Do not lock pinch roller over a joint on the metal roller.
3. Loading paper
a. Lift the pinch-roller handle and keep it away from the roller.
b. Insert the paper between metal roller and pinch-roller of the
machine from behind to front.
c. Press down the pinch-rollers.
d. If vinyl film is not well placed, a serious deviation will occur.
Please carefully check vinyl before sending a file for cutting. If
vinyl stretches out longer on one side than the other, lift up
pinch-roller on longer side and draw the vinyl back from this side
till both sides of vinyl are on a horizontal line. Press pinch-roller
and try running and adjusting the vinyl several times in this way.
Some vinyl is not originally horizontal or upright, so it is
necessary to run vinyl for enough times to ensure least deviation
before working with it.

VI. Loading cutter and pen
1. Structure of cutter holder and items of components
Rotate the cutter holder to adjust the length of the blade past the
bottom of the holder making sure that it is not
extended too far, resulting in the blade cutting through
the vinyl backing.
ٛa. Cutter (diameter is 2mm)
ٛb. Cutter holder shell
ٛc. Cutter holder body
ٛd. Cutter-exiting staff
2. Installation and adjustment
ٛa. Before installing the cutter, you must carefully clean the cutter
holder body, the cutter and your hands. Even very slight dirt can affect the
rotating sensitivity. Insert the cutter into the cutter holder body with care,
then push the cutter to the bottom with a flexile plastic or rubber, but don’t
damage the blade tip.
ٛb. Rotate the shell of the cutter holder and make the out-stretching
length of the blade tip is not larger than the thickness of the vinyl and
adhesive.
3. Plotter holder
You can use ball-pen to plot with the given plotter holder.
a. Loosen the screw on the holder with a screwdriver
counter-clockwise.
b. Insert a ball-pen and adjust the tip out the proper length.
c. Clockwise fasten the screw.
4. Installation
a. Turn off the power.
b. Loosen the locking-screw of the cutter-bracket, then put the cutter
holder or plotter holder in the “V” breach and ensure the blade tip or
refill reaches to the plastic pressing-strip. Fasten the locking-screw
clockwise.
c. After turning on the machine, the tip should be raised about 1 to
2mm away from pressing-strip.

VII. Running Plotter in Test Mode
1 Place the machine on a smooth table, and keep enough room around it.
2 Keep machine away from strong electromagnetic disturbance or thick
dirt-powder.
3 Connect the machine to the computer by the serial or parallel cable, and
then turn the power on. If the carriage can automatically move right and
metal roller can rotate automatically, this means machine’s automatic
reset.
4 If it fails to reset, press the “RESET” key.
5 The cutter holder should then rise 2mm or so. If you press “origin” key,
the holder will lower to its cutting depth; Release the key, the holder will
rise again. It shows the carriage and cutter holder can work properly.
6 If you want the machine to cut from appointed location, press the
“option” key, the yellow light will be on, press “←”or“→”,the carriage
move to left or right; press“↓”or“↑”,the media will move forward or behind.
Then press “ORIGIN” key, the machine will work at the point of blade’s
location.
7 Press “TEST” key, the machine can start its own testing program and a
test-cut design will be automatically cut. This is a great way to adjust the
blade depth and ensure you are not over or under cutting the vinyl. You
want to just score the toplayer of the vinyl preventing any cutting on the
backing material. MAKE SURE the blade is deep enough to cut all
corners and edges of your vinyl test.
NOTE:
A. Turn off the power of computer and machine before connecting the
cable.
B. When you use the software, ensure to set controls such as: port,
commands set, baud rate and device, etc. to coordinate with the
cutting plotter. When you input data from computer to the machine,
the machine will work.
