Ukcutter SMURF HW1200, SMURF HW630 User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the operator's manual for the ukcutter vinyl cutter models: HW1200, HW630, and HW330. The manual contains detailed instructions on installation, safety, operation, and software setup. It covers various aspects of the cutter, including USB, serial and SD card usage, blade and pen settings and media handling. I can assist you with any questions you might have about using this equipment.
  • What type of files can be used with the SD card?
    What is the recommended space needed around the cutter?
    What should I do if smoke or a strange smell comes from the machine?
    Which software I can use to prepare the file for cutting?
