== Health and Safety ==

The vinyl cutter is a potentially dangerous piece of equipment which must be operated with due care. The top things to always remember when using the vinyl cutter are:

* '''ONLY USE THE VINYL CUTTER IF YOU HAVE READ THE SAFETY NOTES BELOW'''
* '''NEVER LEAVE THE VINYL CUTTER RUNNING UNATTENDED'''
* '''ONLY CUT APPROPRIATE MATERIAL'''

== Safety Notes ==

* '''SHARP BLADE''' - when handling the blade (eg. to adjust or change caps for different thickness) take care not to cut yourself

* '''TRAPPING''' - The head and roller of the machine are moved by programs in the machine's memory. Be careful when near the machine, it will possibly move even if the PC is off. Always keep the cover closed when cutting
