got my liyu cutter, questions...

[soulclaimed]

I have finally got round to purchasin my liyu cutter arrived and after hours its finally mounted on the stand(the thing is a giant lol).

I have some questions, firstly there is a thing hanging down with a metal loop on the end, whats it for?

also I want to use it for contour cutting a4 transfers, how do i do this, also it is supposed to have the red laser "optical eye" how do i activate it?

If anyone can help i would be eternally greatful.

Thanks

Tony

Not sure what the thing hanging down is, maybe a pho9to would help.

To contour cut you need to put a contour line around your text/pic and you will also need to put registration marks on the text/pic for your cutter to pick up the registration marks with its optical eye, this would all be done with your software.
Not sure what software you are using, as each differs.

Then print
Then put in your cutter and it should recognise the registration marks.

you wont be able to use our optical eye for automatic reg marks recognition as all this is is only useless red light.

watch here:

cutter images attached as you can see something is dangling i am wondering if it relates to horizontal movement as when pressing the arrows it only moves front to back

[Paul]

This is your carriege belt! Withou it yo wonbe able to ct! Contact supplier about this a its damaged. You can attempt to join it together but i woul not.

i wouldnt know where to begin trying to do it myself, it was like this when i took it out of the box, im pretty angry right now as it has cost me 230 pound and would cost another 20 pound to return it by post the instructions for the simplest thing are terrible and it took me about 2 hours to put the stand together i do not wish to dismantle it all to return it

[Paul]

cutter is hold only on 4 screws. so you can unscrew it all and send it back at supplier expenses.

iis this cutter of ebay?

[soulclaimed]

yes its from a company called signcut, there are 4 screws in each leg connecting to cross beam, there is 4 screws connecting each foot there are 2 screw in casters on each side there are 4 screws on each side of the roller bracket and then 4 holding the cutter on the stand and as most of the screws have to be placed inside a deepish hole in order to connect the pieces sometimes the screw drops inside the legs, i dunno it was a hassle but if thats my only option i will have to

[Paul]

no. just take cutter off the stand. and send only cutter back. leave the stand. they should send you fixed cutter/or new next day. so no need to disassemble the stand

It might be hard getting them to accept that you could see nothing wrong with the cutter, and even went so far as trying to get it working, when this belt was hanging down, lets hope they are one of the good companies, like paul says, they should not need the stand back, as it has nothing to do with the cutter at all. just call them, tell them its faulty, also notify your credit card company if thats how you paid for it, or paypal if thats how you paid for it, show them the photo of it (off of the stand - otherwise they might think you caught the belt while lifting it onto the stand which can happen)
