Step 4: Apply the Cut Material

Use application tape to affix the cut material. Cut the application tape to the required size for use.

Before applying, thoroughly clean the surface where you want to affix the material to remove any dust or grease.

Procedure

Remove the excess tape so that only text remains.

Use a commercially-available tweezers to remove small pieces of tape better.

Application tape

Cut the application tape to the required size.

Cover the cut material flush with the application tape to prevent any air from getting underneath, then transfer the material.

You can transfer the material easily by using a commercially available squeegee or the flat part of a ruler or the like to rub the cut material from above the application tape.

Affix the material together with the joined application tape to the target object, then press down on it from above.

Make sure the material is affixed to the object, then slowly peel off the application tape.

If air becomes trapped between the material and the application surface, forming an air bubble, then use a needle to pop the bubble and press out the air to form a complete seal.

This completes the procedure for attaching the material.

36

Material After Cutting

Transfer the cut material to the application tape and affix it to the object as soon as possible. Any dust that builds up on the surface of the material can make it difficult for the application tape to stick.

4-1 Optimizing the Cutting Quality for the Material

Check the Cutting Quality for the Material

Perform a cutting test to check the cutting quality for the material. Perform a cutting test when changing the material type and when adjusting the blade extension.

Make sure to load material before performing a cutting test. Failure to do so could damage the blade and blade protector.

Do not move the cutting carriage with your hand. Doing so could damage the machine.

Do not touch any moving parts while the machine is operating. Doing so could cause a malfunction.

Procedure

Load the material.

With the power light on, hold down the power button for 2 seconds or longer.

2 seconds or longer

Remove your finger once the cutting carriage starts to move.

Cutting begins from the location that the blade is currently located and the shape indicated in the figure is cut.

To consecutively perform cutting tests, hold down the power button for 2 seconds or longer once the prior cutting operation has finished. This cutting test is done in an area that doesn't overlap with the previous cutting location.

Peel off the cut shapes and check the cutting quality for the material.

The material cutting quality is controlled by the blade extension amount. Adjust the blade extension amount depending upon the state of the material when it is peeled off.

4-4 Applying Large Materials

As the size of the material to be applied increases, it will become increasingly difficult to keep the entire material from slipping during application and to prevent air bubbles from becoming trapped between the material and application surface.

Spray the application surface with detergent-containing water to allow you to move and place the material in the desired location, and to decrease the likelihood of bubbles becoming trapped between the application surface and material.

Procedure

Prepare the cut material and tape the material from the top with application tape.

Remove any dust and grease from the application surface.

Use a commercially available spray bottle to liberally spray the application surface with water containing 2 to 3 drops of a neutral detergent.

Apply the material to the application surface.

Adjust the material location and angle.
