Load A Tool

Then you can use the 'Tool Change' button to move the machine to the front or back (arrow keys) and insert the tool.

Then to change the tool, pull on the latch, place the tool and push on it.

3. Place Material

Before placing the material:

• remove the protective film placed on the cutting area (place it back when finished)
• activate the electrostatic bed with the 'static' button, it takes a while to charge up the material

Then optionaly change the/place a cutting mat if your material is not flat enough/bends up. (Cutting mat is optional but especialy very bend materials hold better on it)

It should be flat and stuck on the bad, so not easy to move away.

4. Make a test cut

Blade Depth Guideline

Adjust the settings

Open Silhouette Studio and go to the top right tab 'SENDEN' (send).

There you can adjust the Settings for the tool.

The most important part it the seconds box from the top 'Schneiden' (cut).

Description

Image

'Klingentiefe' (cutting depth) - is only used for the auto knife depth tool, the other ones need to be adjusted manually, but THE MOST IMPORTANT 'Anpressdruck' (contact preasure) - is the preasure/z offset used to go into the material -higher for harder materials, lower for softer to not rip it' - not that important 'Durchgänge' (rounds) - the number of repititions 'Geschwindigkeit' (speed) - i guess the percentage from max speed - lower for more complex structures to cut

Make the cut

Drive to the position you want to test with the arrow keys on the machine.

MEASURE THE THICKNESS with the botton on the machine.

Set the tool/blade depth

• When you use reflective media,apply masking tape and then detect the thickness at that position.
• The sensor is attached to the bottom of the Tool Holder 2.
