  1. For information on the cutting procedure, refer to the cutting process.
  • Using [Read sheet] in FineCut/Coat9 reads in the size of the cutting sheet. Be sure to set the origin on the sheet on the machine before using [Read sheet] in FineCut/Coat9. Next, check to confirm that the cutting data fits within the sheet size before starting plotting.
  1. Peel the sheet off the cutting sheet.
  • Peel the sheet off slowly and carefully.
  • When peeling off thin sheets, take care not to tear the sheet or leave parts attached to the adhesive surface.
