11) Machine Operation 1、Place the machine in a flat surface and connect with a grounded cable. Make sure that is enough room near the machine. 2、Turn on the power , LCD light up, carriage move to the right，metal roller move forward and backward，it show machine reset complete. 3、Blade bracket will lift up after turn on the power. Now press the “origin” key, blade bracket will drop down. Release that key, it lift again. It show the carriage work well. 4、Press “offline” key，yellow indicator light up, press“◀”or“▶”to move the carriage，press“▼”or“▲”to move the metal roller；if press “▼”and “▲”at the same time，it will active the self inspection program.

6. LCD and Control Panel

1. Turn the screen to this interface 1. Machine can connect with the computer under this interface. 2.Adjust cutting force and speed，press“◀” or“▶”key to adjust the cutting force，press“▼”or“▲”to adjust the cutting speed. 3.Press “test” key，machine will cut “◇”pattern on the vinyl, check it to measure whether the force and the tip length is proper.

2.Turn the screen to offline interface

meanwhile the yellow indicator light up.

1.Locate the origin manually，press“◀”or “▶”key to run the carriage. press“▼”or“▲”key to move the metal roller，and stop at the ideal position，press “origin” key to conform the origin. Press “offline” means undo all the previous movement. 3. Turn the interface to band rate screen

meanwhile green indicator light up.

1.setup band rate，press“◀” or“▶”key to set the band rate“9600”。 4. Turn the surface to

meanwhile the green and yellow indicator both light up.

1.active repeat function，under this redraw interface ,press “origin” key will active the redraw process. 5. Pause function 1.During processing period，emergency occur and need to pause，press “offline” key will stop the work，yellow indicator bright. Press “offline” again to exit the current status.

7. Blade Attention Do not touch the blade tip with you finger, it is easy to cause injury. 1. Insert the blade into the blade holder

2. Adjusting Loosen the adjusting screw ⇨ rotate the screw to adjust the protruding length ⇨ length depend on the thickness of the material

3. Press the blade rod when replace the blade. 4. Place the blade holder into the carriage bracket (1) Loosen the fasten screw (2) Place the blade holder in it. (3) Fasten the screw

8. Feeding Material 1、Locating the pinch roller depend on the material Machine has two or four pinch roller and can be move along the rail. Lift up the handle and move the back of the pinch roller to the proper place. (1) Pinch roller must be place in the area with knurling and sand layer (2) Pinch roller must has 10 to 50mm away from material edge. 2、Feeding material (1) Lift up the handle. (2) Feed vinyl, from the middle of the pinch roller wheel and the metal roller (3) Place the material to position, then press handle down. (4) Press offline to move the material forward and backward, observe the edge of the material on the scaleplate. If during the movement material have right-hand deviation, then lift the right pinch roller. Push the material a little back and then press handle down again. Adjust the material for several times until it is in position.

9. Testing 1、Testing the machine Before processing, we should do a “testing” to check the pressure of blade/pen. Press “offline” key（yellow indicator light up），meanwhile press“▼” and “▲”key，pen/blade will draw/cut a pattern “◇” on the vinyl. 2、Adjusting the pressure On the LCD, high value means high pressure. Low value means low pressure. Adjust the value according to the thickness and soft or hard. If too low the pressure is, vinyl will not be cut out. If too high the pressure is, it may cause pattern deformation or incompletion. 3、Ensure blade bottom always touch with the vinyl surface ,the perfect extended length of tip is 2/3 of material thickness to avoid cutting off the backing layer. 4、Adopt much lower pressure when using the pen holder. 5、Redo the testing process after starting up or change the material to achieve best cutting force.

10. Transferring The Pattern Cutting process complete: 1、Use knife to cut down the pattern. 2、Use tweezers to peel off the unwanted part. （For easy peeling , add a rectangle around the pattern.） 3、Use “transfer film” stick onto the whole pattern, smooth it (reduce wrinkle and bubble). 4、Peel of the "transfer film" with pattern on it , stick to the right place and peel “transfer film” again.

5、After work, unload the material；carefully wipe the blade holder clean.；turn off the power，unplug the power cord；cover the machine with dustproof cover.

11. Troubleshooting 1. Why the letter is deform or incomplete? 1、Blade tip too long , cutting force too high，too dirty the plate（left sticker residue）,or sticker too soft. 2、Software setting is incorrect.（For example，tool compensation function is open and the value is too high）. 3、Metal roller screw or motor gear loose；metal roller or carriage can't move along the motor and cause deformation. 4、Letter is only incomplete, usually is the close compensation value too low.

2. Why machine draw abnormally? 1、Software setting improperly；select correct command set in plotter type（select DMPL / HPGL command set）； If the file format is a little large，and need to open tool compensation ，you need to tick the delay output selection for 10 milliseconds. 2、File been interrupted while signal transmitting. 3、Plotter software is damage or virus in the computer. 4、Wireless station or other power tool nearby will cause interference.（parallel transmission is sensitive to this interference, we recommend using serial port to transmit）. 5、Adopt unsuitable voltage-stabilized source, like household breaker type regulated power supply，it will generate severs interference in relay on-off moment, bring error to communication data. 6、Chips on the motherboard are damage (WS628128LLPG, MAX232CPE, STC90C52RC, ATF16V8B).

3. Why machine run out of position? 1、Vinyl do not place in position：if 60cm width vinyl deviate 0.6mm，every 5 meter it will has a 5mm deviation. 2、Too dirty the plate and left vinyl residue，the friction is uneven on each side of the plotter, it finally result in deviation. 3、Pinch roller pressure is a little low，vinyl is easy to deviate by external force. 4、Uneven pressure among the left and right pinch roller.

5、Motor miss step cause deviation. 6、Chip A4975SBT over heat results in miss-step.

4. Why motor run miss-step? 1、Material is thick and high strength，the plotter motor power is not strong enough to drive it. 2、Control driver IC chip is abnormal and cause motor miss-step. 3、Knurling is dirty or left grease film on the surface which cause small friction coefficient between material and metal roller finally result in miss-step.

5. Why machine cut irregularly, somewhere is off the backing layer, but somewhere is still not cut? 1、Strip has been carved to a groove，or new strip is uneven and form a slope. 2、Guide rail parallelism is in difference. 3、The protruding length of the blade tip is incorrect. Right way：adjust the tip length to 2/3 of vinyl thickness, make sure not cut the backing layer with big pressure，then lower the pressure to ensure all area will be cut well.

6. How to check the pattern quality during the cutting process. Step: press “offline” key（yellow indicator bright），cutting process pause，press “▼” key to observe the Pattern by move the metal roller. Press “offline” again（yellow indicator go out），vinyl and carriage will back to the position and go on cutting.

7. Want to recut the pattern one more time, but when startup the repeat function, vinyl move forward a letter length? Reason: Cancel automatic feed function, it can start at the previous place.

8. Why some letter cut indistinct and the corner is messy? 1、Blade tip extend too long. 2、There is impurity in the blade holder，blade can't rotate flexible in the holder, messy corner will appear. 3、Tool compensation too high in Artcut software.

9. Why 3 indicator light on the control panel bright persistently? 1、Chips on motherboard WS628128LLPG、STC90C52RC、ATF16V8B broken. 2、CQ24.000 crystal oscillator broken. 3、A4975SBT drive chip broken.

10. Why the carriage bracket do not lift up when turn on the power? 1、TIP122 audion ,TIP127 audion,LM324N/TL084CN audion broken. 2、Circuit between carriage and motherboard do not work. 3、Carriage wire damage.

11. When turn on the power, 3 light on the control panel do not flash, only bottom fan work? Reason：5V power do not input，wire maybe damage.

12. When start the machine, the LCD is light up but no letters shows? Reason：ATF16V8B，SN74LS245N，STC90C52RC, CQ24.000 or wire between LCD and motherboard maybe broken.

12) When turn on the power, carriage do not reset，or carriage/metal roller move with unusual noise. 1、A4975SBT or SN74HC374N chip 2、X axis or Y axis motor breakdown.

14. When turn on the power, bottom fan do not work and machine do not act? Reason：check fuse first ，if it is ok, that maybe result of power supply failure.
