12 FIRST STEPS The following procedures descrie sic opertions, from prepring the mteril to performing tril cutting. Removing the Trnsport Pcking Mterils Before turning on the mchine, remove the shipping tpe nd the crdord shock-soring mteril. To store wy the opertion pnel, first rise it until it is verticl, nd then it cn e lowered nd stored wy. If you wish to decrese the ngle of the opertion pnel, rise it until it is verticl, nd then djust the ngle gin. If the pcking mterils were removed fter the mchine ws turned on, turn the mchine off, then on gin. Continuing to use the mchine without restrting it my result in incorrect opertion. Adjusting the Angle of the Opertion Pnel Follow the instructions provided ove to lower the pnel. Lowering it forcily my cuse dmge to the pnel. Turning On/Off the Mchine Connect the power cord to the AC dpter, nd then connect the AC dpter to the mchine. The ngle of the opertion pnel cn e djusted to one of three levels. Power cord AC dpter Memo When using the AC dpter, untie the undled cord. Plug the power cord into n electricl outlet. 10

13 c Press in the opertion pnel. When the opening screen ppers, touch nywhere on the disply. Opertion of LCD Pnel After the mchine is turned on, the opertion screens pper in the touch pnel. To perform opertions in the screens, use the included touch pen. 1 When the following messge ppers, touch the OK key. Never use hrd or pointed oject, such s mechnicl pencil or screwdriver, to mke selection in the screens. Otherwise, dmge to the mchine my result. The home screen ppers. Preprtion of Crft Pper/Fric Memo LCD pnels commonly hve right spots (permnently lit dots) nd drk spots (unlit dots). It my cuse some unexpected luminous spots to pper nd tiny picture elements to e missed in the screen. Plese note tht this is not sign of mlfunction. d To turn off the mchine, press opertion pnel. in the e Unplug the power cord from the electricl outlet. f Disconnect the AC dpter from the mchine, nd then disconnect the power cord from the AC dpter. Do not wind the AC dpter cle round the dpter or end the cle, otherwise the cle my e dmged. Prepre the mteril for cutting, drwing nd scnning (Direct Cut), sed on the following conditions. Required Mteril Condition Size Thickness* Type * Recommended thickness vries depending on the type of mteril used. Avoid using crft pper or fric covered with decortive lyer (tht cn esily seprte), such s lmé or foil. The seprte lyer my stick to the mchine s scnning device or feed rollers during opertion, resulting in dmge to the mchine. It my lso dmge the cutting lde. If such medi is used or tested it is recommended to clen the scnner glss t the ottom of the mchine fter every use (pge 59). Memo Pper Fric (When using 12" 12" (305 mm 305 mm) mt.) Mx: 305 mm 305 mm (12" 12") The work re for cutting/drwing is 296 mm 298 mm (11 3/4" 11 3/4"). 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm 0.2 mm to 1.5 mm scrpook pper, crdstock, vellum cotton fric, felt When using n optionl 12" 24" (305 mm 610 mm) mt, the mximum work re for cutting/drwing is 296 mm 603 mm (11 3/4" 23 3/4"). Some frics with uneven surfces cn e cut if turned upside down. 11

Depending on the mchine model, some ccessories listed in the chrt my not e included. In tht cse, they must e purchsed seprtely. Lightweight pper (vellum) Medium weight pper (scrpook pper) Lightweight fric (for quilt piecing) Lightweight fric (for ny use other thn quilt piecing) Medium weight fric (for ny use other thn quilt piecing) Cutting lde Mt Sheet Stndrd cut lde (turquoise) *Deep cut lde (purple) Low tck dhesive mt (turquoise) Stndrd mt (turquoise nd purple) Recommended Comintion (pge 12) (pge 13) High tck dhesive fric support sheet (light lue cking) Iron-on fric ppliqué contct sheet (white cking) c (pge 13) d (pge 15) e (pge 17) * Use the deep cut lde with hevy weight frics (0.5 to 1.5 mm), such s felt nd denim. 1 Lightweight Pper Do not discrd the protective sheet peeled off the mt; sve it for lter use. When the mt is not eing used, clen the dhesive side nd ffix the protective sheet efore storing it. For detils, see Clening the Mt on pge 58. Stndrd cut lde Stndrd cut lde holder (turquoise) c Low tck dhesive mt (turquoise) Attching the Mteril (Lightweight Pper) Peel off the protective sheet from the dhesive side of the mt. c Test ttching the mteril. Before ttching the mteril to the mt, use corner of the dhesive side of the mt to test ttching it. Check for the following when testing ttching the mteril. The color does not come off the mteril when it is peeled off. The mteril is not torn or deformed when it is peeled off. If ny prolems occur when testing ttching, use different mteril. c Attch the mteril to the mt s dhesive side. 12

15 Plce the mteril within the ttching re (grid re) on the dhesive side. If the mteril extends from the ttching re, it my e dmged y the feed rollers when the mt is fed. Memo The mt does not hve top nd ottom. It cn e inserted into the feed slot from either end. d Firmly ttch ll of the mteril to the mt so tht there re no wrinkles nd no prt cn curl off. Otherwise, curls in the mteril my ecome cught when the mt is inserted. If the mt is dirty, clen it. For detils, see Clening the Mt on pge Medium Weight Pper d Stndrd cut lde Stndrd cut lde holder (turquoise) c Stndrd mt (turquoise nd purple) d Low tck dhesive mt (turquoise) (When cutting slick pper) Attching the Mteril (Medium Weight Pper) Follow the steps in Attching the Mteril (Lightweight Pper) on pge 12.

60 CARE AND MAINTENANCE Clening Clening the Mt Cuttings nd cut edges of ptterns ttched to the mt my reduce the mt s dhesive strength nd prevent correct opertion. Periodiclly clen the mt. Using the included sptul, lightly scrpe off ny cuttings ttched to the mt. Clening the Holder If mteril cuttings, lint or dust ccumulte in the holder, it my not operte correctly. Clen the holder fter every use. Twist off the holder cp to remove it. Use commercilly ville tweezers to remove ny fric threds ttched to the mt. Clen the dotted mrks on the mt nd their surrounding re. Using commercilly ville rush, clen off cuttings, lint nd dust. Specificlly clen off lint nd dust round the lde. If lint nd dust ccumulte etween the lde nd holder, the lde my no longer rotte or the cutting qulity my ecome poor. Do not use lcohol or wter to clen the mt. When the mt is not eing used, clen it, nd then store it with the protective sheet ffixed. At tht time, do not ffix the protective sheet while the mt is dmp. Otherwise, the mt s dhesive strength will decrese. Do not fold or end the mt to store it. Store the mt t room temperture nd in loction not exposed to high tempertures, high humidity or direct sunlight. If the mt no longer hs ny dhesive strength, replce it with new one.
