In order to carry out cutting optimally, it is necessary to set cutting conditions that match the material, giving consideration
to the material's thickness and type of material. The unit can perform a cutting test to check the cutting conditions. Please
set cutting conditions that are appropriate for the type of material being used.
8. Setting Cutting Conditions
Performing a Cutting Test
If you begin the cutting test immediately after turning on the power, the tool carriage will move across the
cutting table from the upper right corner to the preset lower-left (LL). Be sure there is nothing on the cutting
table other than your material.

Checking Cutting Force and Tool Speed
Confirm the cutting pressure and speed of the tool carriage. Peel off the round section (marked by ). When cutting
sign sheets, etc., confirm that you can peel off the square section (marked by ), but do not remove it. When cutting
right through the material, confirm that you can remove the material without effecting the area and the circle. When cutting
sign sheets, also remove the square section (marked by ). If the blade leaves a slight trail on the base paper, you have
achieved optimum tool pressure and speed.
