CAUTION
After setting the cutting depth and/or the knife pressure, perform a thorough
visual check of the knife blade, which can be seen protruding from the knife
holder, and test cutting results on a scrap of vinyl media.
DO NOT OPERATE THE CUTTER if the knife blade cuts through the media
backing, as this will seriously damage the cutter’ s rubber cutting strip and
the knife.
CAUTION
For most vinyl cutting activities, the knife blade tip will be barely visible at
the bottom of the knife tool. If you can clearly see the knife blade tip, you will
probably need to readjust the cutting depth.
To prevent damage to the cutter, check the depth of the knife blade tip and
the quality of the cut each time you load a different type of vinyl into the
cutter.
