Features of this Online User Manual
Turning Pages and Zooming
Click along the outside margins of the manual to turn a page. To activate the zoom, double click anywhere on
the page. Then move your mouse to pan up or down the page.
Videos
This user manual contains numerous links to videos, such as the one just above which presents an overview of
the Zing cutter. Click on these green Video icons to open either a You Tube or Vimeo hosted video and learn
the topic in that particular section of the manual. Past experience has shown that watching videos can be
extremely beneficial when learning software and cutting applications.
Bookmarks
Click on the Bookmarks icon to list the major chapters of the manual and then click on a chapter to immediately
go to the first page of that chapter. You can also enter a page number at the top in order to go to that specific
page.
Searching
You can search by any word at all. Click on the Search icon, enter any word, and all pages with that word will
be listed. Select any page and the word will be highlighted in yellow.
Downloading
You may download this manual, if you wish, in either PDF format or as an application that will continue to work
in the same way that it does online. But again, this is a manual that will be updated, as needed.
Printing
Do NOT print this entire manual!!! It will be changing as enhancements are made to Make-The-Cut or new
applications are added for using your Zing. Thus it’s better to print only those pages you might need for a certain
topic, at a specific moment. And you may never need to print any of it at all.
Where to Start
Thank you for choosing a KNK Zing. Before using a blade in your new cutter, we suggest you read the
Quick Start Guide that came in your Zing box plus Chapters 1 and 2.
If you run into difficulties with the operation of the Zing, turn off the power and look for a solution in this
manual. If you continue to have technical questions or issues, please contact your KNK Zing supplier as
soon as possible.
