Then pull up. Test the stickiness and repeat until the mat is more appropriate for your material. It should
only take a few pressings to greatly reduce the stickiness, as micro-sized fibers are pressed to the surface.
If you have cut items or scraps that you cannot easily remove from the mat, then use Un-Du or even
acetone (nail polish remover) to temporarily wet the material and disarm the adhesive. Avoid scraping the
mat while it is wet and allow to air dry.
If you need to strip your mat of the adhesive, use Goo Gone or Duck Adhesive Remover. Wet the entire
surface of the mat with the remover and allow to sit for about 30 seconds. Then use a metal or firm plastic
scraper to scrape off the adhesive until the surface is clean.
1.06 Installation of Make The Cut (MTC) Software, Zing Driver, and the Zing Plug-in
Go to the following link and register Make-The-Cut (MTC), using the Activation Pin provided with your new
Zing. If you already have a registered version of MTC installed on your computer(s), you may skip this step
and the next step. Your new Activation Pin is yours to sell, give away, or keep.
https://www.make-the-cut.com/Register.aspx
At this link, carefully enter the Activation Pin and your email address. After registering, a registration
number will appear on the screen and be sent to the email address you provide. This is what you use for
registering inside the software. You can install MTC on all of your computers and use that same registration
number you received by email. We do request that you only use MTC on one computer at a time.
Close all programs not needed and insert the MTC CD into a CD Rom on your computer. Even if you
already have MTC installed, you will want to reinstall in order to add the Zing plug-in and the Zing driver to
your computer.
Once your computer has loaded the CD, use Windows Explorer or My Computer to locate the installation file
on the CD. Double click the file to launch the installation of MTC, the Zing driver, and the Zing plug-in.
After you have successfully installed the software, an MTC icon should be present on your desktop.
If you do not have a registered version of MTC on your computer, then you will only be able to save one file
per session, plus your cuts will include a “watermark” cut consisting of a large “X” through your cut. If you
decide to register at a later time, go to Help>Register.
It’s important to be running the latest software updates. When you open MTC, go to Help>About Make The
Cut. If you are running a version earlier than 4.10, then please visit this site to download and install the
latest. Note that you will also want to download and install the latest Klic-N-Zing plug-in (scroll down on the
same page):
http://www.make-the-cut.com/Download.aspx
Place the KNK Zing on a sturdy horizontal surface. Connect the power cord to the back of the cutter and
plug into a wall outlet or power strip. Turn on the power using the power switch on the top.
Connect the USB cable to the back of the cutter and into an available USB port on your computer. We do
not recommend the use of a USB hub. However, if you have no other option, then the hub must be the type
which is separately powered.
Once the USB cable is connected, the hardware manager will identify the USB connection. If the Windows
Hardware Installation window pops open, proceed and accept all defaults.
1.07 Pinch Wheel Levers
There are two pinch wheel levers, one on each side, just inside the end caps. These are used to raise and
lower the pinch wheels.
Press down on the levers. The roller bar and pinch wheels will be raised. Note that both wheels do not need
to be raised at the same time, but you do need to have both raised before inserting the cutting mat or your
backed materials.
