  • 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.

Restarting After Using the Emergency Stop Button
