sheet, such as vinyl and iron-on transfer do not require a mat for cutting)
• Do you have the pinch wheel lever raised (so that the pinch wheels are down)?
• Have you set the blade length based on the thickness of the material you are cutting?
• Do you have the blade holder firmly mounted in the blade holder seat and the blade tip at the correct height
above the material?
• Have you set the Origin (location of the blade tip) at the bottom right corner of your material (or wherever
you need the origin to be)?
• Have you set the Force? And the Speed?
• Have you selected the correct Blade Offset for the blade you are using?
• Do you need to turn on Passes for this material?
• Do you see the correct shapes in the preview window?
• Do you need to select Rotate or Mirror the project? Do you know, with confidence, where your shapes are
going to cut?
