→Set up: Machine with vinyl
#Attach the spool guidewheels to your selected spool and gently tighten them down until they no longer spin.
#Place the spool's guidewheels in the guidetracks behind the machine. You may need to reposition them if the previous spool was a different width; do this gently.
#Pull the end of the vinyl into the vinyl cutter, just past the long white stripeto cover the sensor (located mid-right of platform). Adjust the three pinch rollers as necessary to accommodate the vinyl size and then activate the locking lever by pressing down to lock the vinyl on in place.
#Size your material with the edge (down arrow) or single (right arrow) buttons.
#Cut your design!
Again, this can be accessed through the cut dialogue and pressing selecting the `Output` option from the window '''''(only after previewing your cut)''''' or selecting the Cut object icon (6th icon on left) or pressing enter on the keyboard from within the preview menu.
'''If you need to stop your job for any reason while it is in progress, pull the release lever at the back right of the machine to interrupt the current cut.'''
Once your design is finished cutting, check to make sure all the desired elements are there before releasing the lever. If everything is to your liking do the following:
#Pull the vinyl forward, so that your elements are all beyond the indented line to cut.
#Use the white cutter located in the "vinyl tools" drawer or scissors to cut out your design.
#Roll the unused spool back up.
