SummaCut Series Cutters
User’s Manual
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.
1.7.2. PEN INSTALLATION
The SummaCut cutters can also be operated with a pen. After replacing the
knife with a pen, the cutter can be used as a plotter to draw draft plots of new
or existing designs on paper.
è
To install the pen, proceed as follows:
• Load a piece of media in the cutter (See 1.8.). Make sure that none of
the two lower LED’ s are on. If one LED is on, press on the respective
button to turn it off.
• Start up the Summa Cutter Control on your host PC. Press the ‘Menu’
button on the main screen. (For more information about setting up
the port parameters, read the help instructions included in the
program. )
