The following procedures describe basic operations, from preparing the material to performing trial cutting.
Removing the Transport Packing 
Materials
Before turning on the machine, remove the shipping 
tape and the cardboard shock-absorbing material.
Note
If the packing materials were removed after the 
machine was turned on, turn the machine off, 
then on again. Continuing to use the machine 
without restarting it may result in incorrect 
operation.
Adjusting the Angle of the Operation 
Panel
The angle of the operation panel can be adjusted to 
one of three levels.
To store away the operation panel, first raise it until it 
is vertical, and then it can be lowered and stored 
away. If you wish to decrease the angle of the 
operation panel, raise it until it is vertical, and then 
adjust the angle again.
Note
• Follow the instructions provided above to lower 
the panel. Lowering it forcibly may cause 
damage to the panel.
