Check the box next to
Set Force and Speed.
Select Knife Point

Click on Start

 Set the Force and Speed by checking the box shown above and then sliding the two bars to the
recommended settings of 30 and 300 respectively. Note: To fine tune a setting, use the arrow keys on your
computer’s keyboard.
 After making the appropriate settings, click on Start.
 The arrow will be drawn to align with the origin you set on the paper with the test pen.
 If anything goes wrong during the cut, press the Pause button on the cutter to stop the cut. This is your
panic button! Turn off the cutter and then turn back on again. Take the necessary steps to begin your cut
fresh. If data is still being transmitted to the cutter, allow it to continue until you see this window:

 To draw again, return to the cut window and choose a different origin. Practice moving the origin to different
locations. This is how Knife Point mode works. If you want the image to draw where you have it on the
Virtual Mat, then you need to switch to WYSIWYG mode and use the laser to set the origin versus the tip of
the pen. Refer to Section 2.07 for more details on controlling where images will cut.

IMPORTANT: Please read Section 2.01 before cutting!

1.12 Maintenance

Klic-N-Kut machines do not require any kind of lubrication or routine checks. However, here are a few things to
keep in mind for successful operation of your cutter:

 Keep the pinch wheels clean. Depending on the adhesive being used on the cutting mat, it’s possible for the
pinch wheels to become sticky and pick up small pieces of cardstock or other material being cut. This can
lead, in some cases, to the mat skewing or ruining materials during subsequent cuts. To clean the pinch
wheels, use a lint-free cloth and an adhesive remover such as isopropyl alcohol or Un-Du to clean the pinch
wheels thoroughly.
 Keep the grit shafts clean. Equally important as the pinch wheels, the grift shafts beneath the cutting mat
should also be free of adhesive and tiny bits of material. They can be cleaned the same way as the pinch
wheels. Note: Do not pour cleaner onto a grit shaft. Instead, dab some adhesive remover onto the lint-free
cloth and then use the damp cloth to clean the shafts. You can also use tweezers to remove any material or
adhesive that is stuck to a shaft.
 Keep the cutting mat clean and sticky. As mentioned in the Section 1.07, the cutting mat can be washed
with soap and water to remove small invisible pieces of material which are reducing the tackiness of the
cutting mat. After drying, you can add more repositionable adhesive, if needed.
