WHEN CARVING IN PLASTIC, there are several issues to keep in mind.

Carving plastics can be very hard on the machine if the proper

material is not used of if the chips are not regularly removed

from the machine.

o Only Polycarbonate or Cast Acrylic plastics are approved for use in

this machine. Most other common plastics melt during cutting and will

damage the machine if used.

o The maximum cut depth for plastics is 0.1 inches per pass.

o Plastic shavings are prone to clogging the machine and must be

vacuumed out regularly.

o If possible remove any thin protective plastic from the surface to avoid

wrapping it around the spinning bit.

o Because of the smooth slick nature of the plastic surface, the

workpiece must be mounted to a backing board so that the Board

Tracking Sensor will perform properly.

o Make sure that any hardware used to affix the plastic to the backer

board resides outside of the cutting area.

o If cutting in clear plastic the machine may have trouble locating the

edges at startup. To avoid this simply place masking tape along the

edges of the workpiece.

CLEAR DUST AFTER EACH OPERATION. It is important that any dust

on or near the Squaring Plate and the Sliding Guide Plate be removed

before starting a cutting operation to ensure that the sensors can find the

board edges accurately. A simple wipe will usually suffice.

MAKE TEST CUTS, when carving a new project test the project on

scrap wood to ensure that the settings produce desired results.

SMALL WORKPIECES MUST USE JIG. Any workpiece smaller than

1.5 inches wide x 0.5 inches thick x 7 inches long will require jigging.

the keypad to access the information.

TO LOCATE FIRMWARE VERSION, use the Options shortcut key on

the keypad to access the information.

WARNING: CUT ONLY WOOD, PLASTIC OR WOOD-LIKE

MATERIALS. Do not cut metal, glass, stone, tile or any other hard

materials.

WARNING: WHENEVER USING THE 1/8” CUTTING BIT, it is strongly

reccomended that the Stay Under Rollers option be set to Yes. It is likely

that the 1/8” cutting bit will be broken during operations near either end

of the workpiece or undesirable stair stepping can occur.
