Klic-N-Kut (KNK) MAXX / Groove E User Manual1 February 2009 Thank you for choosing a Klic-N-Kut. Before using a blade in your new cutter, we suggest you read the following sections of this user manual: The remainder of this first page Sections 1.1 – 1.6: Important notes about the Klic-N-Kut, blades, and mat Sections 2.1 – 2.3: Installation, setup, defaults, and testing Sections 3.1 – 3.4: Brief introduction to KNK Studio Sections 4.1 – 4.3: Learning how to cut If you run into difficulties with the operation of the cutter, turn off the power and look for a solution in this manual. If you continue to have technical questions or issues, please contact your Klic-N-Kut supplier as soon as possible. You will find additional files, tutorials, videos, and support at our message board: http://www.scrapbookdiecutter.com/support/ Please Read Verify that you have received all contents. There is a checklist on page 4. Please notify your Klic-N-Kut supplier immediately if anything is missing. Remove any plastic zip ties, foam pieces or other packaging before turning on the Klic-N-Kut. The Klic-N-Kut and other computer-connected cutters are not “plug and play” devices. Be sure to follow the installation directions carefully and make all recommended settings before operating. You can only install and activate the software on TWO computers. Thus carefully select which computers you wish to use and follow the instructions carefully in this manual. In the event of a hard drive failure or the purchase of a new computer, please contact Accugraphic at 800-268-3672 for assistance. Use the enclosed pen and pen holder during at least the first day of operation as you become familiar with operating the Klic-N-Kut. Place scrap paper on the mat and simply draw images rather than cut them. This will prevent possible damage to the blade, mat, and cutting strip as you learn where images will cut and the basic operating procedures. DO NOT unplug the USB cable from your computer or from the cutter unless you first turn off the cutter. Doing so can cause power fluctuations that, in turn, can damage the cutter. Always turn off the Klic-N-Kut when not in use. Leaving the cutter turned on for extended periods of time can possibly damage the machine. The final printing of this user manual may not have the same color quality as intended by the author. If you need clearer photos and diagrams, please refer to the pdf version of this user manual.
