The pinch rollers are not tight enough to hold the vinyl I’m cutting. The vinyl is slipping and rotating when I start
the cut.
• The pinch wheels need to be over grit shafts (the dark gray rough areas along the revolving shaft. The
white arrows will help you align the pinch wheels in correct locations. Also, use outside locations versus
having, say, one pinch on the far right of the vinyl and a second pinch wheel only in the middle.

I hear a terrible stuttering sound when trying to cut chipboard (or other thick dense material).
• That can be a symptom of forcing the blade to cut too deeply and/or too quickly through the chipboard.
Slow the speed, decrease the Cutting force, and add more passes.

I’m trying to do a PNC application and the camera can’t read the marks.
• Make sure you have calibrated the Skycut’s camera. The procedure is covered in Section 3.03.
• On the control panel, go to Set>Camera and press Set. Make sure the Auto PNC option is marked.
• If using the cutting mat, make sure the printout is aligned fairly straight on the cutting mat and the mat is
fairly straight in the cutter.
• Make sure the blade holder is over the lower right registration mark when starting the cut.
• Are the registration marks printed dark with no streaking or missing ink?
• Did you make any changes in the file after printing and before trying to cut?

The Skycut stopped during a cut.
• If the Skycut stops with the head over on the left side of the cutter, you have most likely exceeded the
cutting range. Several things to consider:
Check the width of your project. It cannot exceed 16”.
Check how far you are moving the head to the left when setting the origin. If your project is 15” and
you moved the head more than 1” to the left, you will send the cut out of range and the cutter will
stop.
• If the Skycut stops and the head is not located near the left side:
Make sure it’s not a communication issue.
You may have exceeded a buffer limit. Try reducing the number of nodes. In SignCut Draw, select
the shapes and click on the Reduce number of nodes icon .
