Vacuum Gate Button

  • If you place matboard onto the CMC board surface, the matboard will be easily positionable until the Vacuum Gate Button (black button) has been pushed on the Control Panel.

  • Push the Vacuum Gate button down to close the Vacuum Gate which secures the matboard onto the table for cutting.

  • Pull the Vacuum Gate Button up to open the Vacuum Gate, so that you can remove or reposition the matboard.

Alignment Pins

  • Pull the Vacuum Gate Button to raise the mat alignment pins on the cutting surface.

  • Lay the matboard to be cut against the alignment pins.

  • Take care to NOT hit the Cut Button while the alignment pins are still activated on the cutting surface, as they will damage the footblock when it tries to cut.

  • When you are ready to cut, press the Vaccum Gate Button in before pressing the Cut button to retract the alignment pins behind the cutting surface.

Push to Cut Button

  • Once the design has been set up in the software and the matboard has been set in place, the user can push the Green Push-to-Cut Button on the Control Panel to cut the mat.

  • Optionally, you can click the Cut button on the Cut Preview Screen.

  • If the Push-to-Cut Button is pressed during operation, the CMC will pause.

  • Pressing it again will cause the CMC to continue where it left off.

  • CAUTION: Make sure that the Vaccum Gate Button has been pushed in first to retract the Alignment Pins from the cutting surface.

Emergency Stop Button

  • The Emergency Stop Button (red button) on the Control Panel can be pushed at any time to immediately abort the current cut.

Restarting After Using the Emergency Stop Button

  • To restart after hitting the Emergency Stop Button, twist the Emergency Stop Button in the direction of the arrows to release the Emergency Stop Button; it will pop back up.

  • Go to the Control Unit and cycle the power by clicking the On/Off green rocker switch off and then back on again.

  • Wait approximately three seconds then push the green Reset push-button on the Control Unit.

  • Return to the FrameShop software and click the Reset Motors button and let the Eclipse reset itself and find the Home position.

  • When it has finished, you will be ready to start the next project.
