DO NOT touch or jam the plotter’s track while it is operating. If the cutter is damaged, it is the owner’s
responsibility.
•
DO NOT shake the cutter while it is operating.
•
DO NOT cut any materials that have staples or other embellishments attached.
•
DO NOT touch the cutter with a magnet. It is safe, however, to cut magnetic materials, such as those used
on refrigerators and car exteriors.
•
DO NOT allow any liquids to spill into the cutter.
•
DO NOT allow small items to fall into the cutter.
•
Place the Skycut on a sturdy and stable table, desk, or trolley. The optional Skycut stand can also be used.
•
Always turn off the Skycut when not in use. Leaving the cutter turned on for extended periods of time can
possibly damage the machine.
•
Always turn off the Skycut before unplugging the power adaptor or removing the power cable from the wall
outlet or power strip.
•
Unplug the Skycut from a wall outlet or power strip during an electrical storm or when the cutter will not be
used for an extended period of time.
•
Transporting: When transporting the cutter, move the pinch wheel lever into the upward position. Remove
the blade from the blade holder and cover the tip with the plastic cap.
1.03 Warranty
•
IMPORTANT!
If your Skycut is damaged during shipment or appears to be defective, your dealer should be
notified as soon as possible.
•
For additional information regarding your warranty, please refer to your Skycut dealer.
•
It is recommended that you
retain the original box with packing materials
in case you ever need to ship your
Skycut.
1.04 Unpacking
•
Verify that you have received all contents. There is a checklist in
Section 1.05
. Please notify your Skycut
supplier immediately if anything is missing.
•
Remove all foam pieces and other packaging before turning on the Skycut. Currently, the cutter ships with
two end cap foam protectors and one small foam piece tucked under the head. There are also three plastic
zip ties that will need to be cut.
Be very careful to only cut those ties and NOT the black cable behind them.
•
Because the cutting mat must be folded over to fit into the box, it may have become slightly rounded during
shipping. Gently and only partially roll the mat in the opposite direction to remove the roundness and place
on a flat table to make sure the mat now lies horizontally to the surface. Refer to
Section 1.08
for additional
instructions on preparing the mat for use.
•
Use the enclosed test pen as you experiment and become familiar with operating the Skycut. Place scrap
paper on the mat and simply draw shapes rather than cut them. This will prevent possible damage to the
blade, mat, and cutting strip as you learn where shapes will cut and the basic operating procedures.
