1.1 Safety & Warnings

For Muse support, please go to

https://techsupport.signwarehouse.com/muse-vinyl-cutter-support-resources/

Please read the following safety guidelines regarding use of your Muse cutter:

Symbols inside triangles represent important notes that warrant your full attention. There are

dierent symbols denoting specic warnings. The symbol at left, for example, warns of a

possible danger of electric shock.

The cross-bar indicates activities that are prohibited because of risk of injury or possible

damage to your equipment. This particular symbol at left warns against the use of tools to

remove parts of the equipment.

Don't use with an electrical power source which doesn't meet the required voltage rating.

Using with substandard sources of electricity may result in re or electric shock.

Don't use your Muse if it begins to emit an odor or smoke.

Don't un-plug your Muse while powered on. Doing so may damage the equipment.

Make sure your Muse is grounded. Using your Muse without it being grounded may result in risk

of equipment damage or electric shock.

Thank you for choosing a Muse vinyl cutter.

Don't disassemble your Muse or attempt repairs unless directed by

SignWarehouse technical support.

Don't drop any liquids or metal objects into your Muse. Liquids or impact from hard

or heavy objects may damage the equipment.

Touching your Muse’s blade with your nger may result in injury.

Don't damage or replace the power cable supplied with the vinyl cutter. Don't

excessively bend, pull, or fold the power cable or place weight on it. Crimping

the power cable may result in risk of failure or electric shock.

If you're not going to use your Muse for a long time, unplug the power

cable from the outlet.

Placing your hands on the cutting platen during operation may result in injury.

Place your cutter on a stable surface. Operating the vinyl cutter on an

unstable surface may result in a fall that can damage the equipment or

internal components.

To unplug the power cable from a receptacle, always grasp the plug

instead of the cable. Pulling the cable may damage it and increase

the risk of re or electric shock.

Don't operate during an electrical storm where lightning is present. For protection

against power surges, a surge protector is recommended.

Don't physically move the cutting head while your Muse is powered on. Manually

moving the cutting head during operation may damage the main board.

1.7 Pinch Rollers

The test pen is used in calibrating the Muse’s camera (Section 3.01),

calibrating the Scale (Section 2.07), and is also recommended for test

drawing while you are learning where shapes will cut based on various

software settings. Note that a small piece of wax needs to be removed from

the pen’s nib before use. You may also wish to cut o the very top of the pen

rell so that it more easily ts into your Muse:

Your Muse is designed for cutting rolls and sheets of adhesive-backed lms such as vinyl, stencil mask and

sandblast etching lms. It can also use the included cutting mat for non-backed materials such as paper,

cardstock, magnet sheets and Mylar.

Press down the lever on the back of your M15 or M24 to raise the pinch rollers. On the M60 model, there are

individual levers on each pinch wheel which are lifted instead.

Insert the media into the space between the pinch roller and grit roller and pull out the media far enough to

ensure that it is loaded straight. The edges of the vinyl should be parallel to the left and the right frame of the

cutting platen. (A ‘platen’ is the lower plate that supports the vinyl as it passes through the cutter.)

The 30° yellow capped blade (not shown) is well-suited for window

tint and fabric. It is included with the M60.

The 45° red capped blade is well-suited for cutting thinner materials such as heat transfer vinyl and

wall/auto/decal vinyl. Two of these are included with the Muse.

The 60° blue capped blade has a longer cutting edge and is well-suited for cutting thicker materials like

sandblast stencil, ock, craft foam, magnet sheets, light chipboard, rhinestone template materials, etc. It

is included with the M15 and the M24.

Installing the blades into the blade holder is covered in Section 2.01. Blade Oset is covered in Section

2.02.2.

Muse Blades

1.6.2

There are two kinds of blades that came with your Muse (note that which two

kinds dier depending on the model you purchased).

1.8 Control Panel

When you rst power on the Muse, the following Main Screen

or Home Screen will be displayed after several seconds:

The functions of the buttons on this Main Screen are:

SET: Opens the SETTING menu with access to other functions,

such as CAMERA, WI-FI, ARRAY, ADVANCED SETTINGS, etc.

See Section 1.8.1.

RECUT: Recuts the last job which is stored in the Muse’s memory. Note that while the Muse is cutting, this

button will read PAUSE. Pressing it will pause the cutting process in case any changes need to be made.

Pressing again will resume the cut.

UDISK: Opens the UDISK window allowing access to les on a USB thumb drive plugged into the Muse’s USB

Flash Drive port. Files must be saved in .PLT format to appear in the menu (See Sections 1.10.6 – 1.10.8 for

details).

STOP: One-touch emergency stop button stops the cutter and cancels the cut.

SPD/FOR: This button opens the SPEED/FORCE screen where you can optionally set the cutting speeds and

force of the cutter, as well as access the stored presets (See Sections 2.2-2.5).

TEST: Press the TEST button to cut a small square. This is recommended to ensure a clean cut is achieved with

the current settings before proceeding with a cut job.

Slide the pinch roller assemblies left and right so that the pinch rollers are centered over the grit roller.

The positions of the exposed grit rollers in the platen are marked by white arrows above the platen.

You may raise the cover above the tool carriage to see the arrows more clearly. Be sure to close it

before cutting.

Once the pinch rollers are in position, lower them to keep

your media in place. When using the cutting mat, you

need at least two wheels near the outside edges of the

mat, thus center the mat inside the cutter (versus having it

all the way to one side).

Each pinch roller on the M15 and M24 has a little lever on

the back side. These levers adjust the amount of pressure

applied to the media. Increasing the pressure can help

with slicker or thinner media such as heat transfer lm. It

may be advisable to reduce the pressure to accommodate

thicker materials like glass etch stencil. For normal use, like heat

transfer vinyl and sign vinyl, keep the levers in the higher position:

Fig. 1.8.1

Arrows: The left-right arrows move the tool carriage while the up-down arrows move the grit rollers.

This allows you to start cutting anywhere on the media (i.e. set an origin).

Double Arrow: The double arrow button controls the speed of the tool carriage and grit rollers while

setting a new origin. The default setting is the faster mode. Pressing this button once will change the

color of the button from blue to red, which indicates the slower mode. This mode can be used for very

precise movement.

Setting Menu

1.8.1

The Setting menu provides access to seven additional

screens on two dierent pages:

These various functions and settings are:v

TO START: return the blade holder to the origin (the location immediately before the cut was started

TO END: advance the blade holder to the top of the completed cut with the option to move an additional

distance

To LEFT: advance the blade holder to the left of the completed cut with the option to move an additional

distance

ARRAY: Set up rows and columns of repeats with desired spacing (refer to Section 1.8.4)

ADVANCE SETTINGS: Refer to Section 1.8.3.

GENERAL SETTINGS: Refer to Section 1.8.2.

SYSTEM INFORMATION: Hardware and rmware versions, Baud rate, and other settings that should need no

adjustment unless directed by a SignWarehouse technical representative.

General Settings

1.8.2

Press SET on the Muse control panel and select GENERAL

SETTINGS. The optional settings are:

CAMERA: Opens the CAMERA SETTINGS menu.

Refer to Section 3.00.

WIFI: Connect the MUSE to your home or oce router for

wireless connectivity (refer to Sections 1.10.4 and 1.10.5).

ADVANCE MODE: Three options for where the blade holder goes at the end of a cut:

Fig. 1.8.2

Fig. 1.8.3

LED: This option allows you to customize the platen lighting in your Muse.

On the M15 and M24, the default color is a cool blue. But if blue isn’t your cup of tea, you can change on this

screen. There are slider bars to help pick a custom color. You can also turn o the LED platen lighting if you

wish. Note: In case of an error during cutting, the LED platen lighting will immediately turn red to indicate an

alarm condition.

On the M60, you can change the intensity of the white light according to your personal preference.

Advanced Settings

1.8.3

Press SET on the Main Screen and select ADVANCE

SETTINGS. The optional settings are:

SHOW POINT: This feature shows the origin point

of your cut jobs. When toggled on, the Main Screen

will display an updated center button used to reset

the origin, as well as some location positions:

Absolute Location displays the current location relative

to the “power-on” origin point of (0,0):

Xis the position relative to the movement of the

cutter’s tool carriage from left to right across the

platen.

Yis the position relative to the forward and

backward motion of the media as it is fed by the

grit rollers.

Lis the straight-line distance from Xto Y.

ALARM: Enabling ALARM AFTER COMPLETED will produce an audible alarm of 5 beeps once a job completes.

Uncheck this box if you wish to turn o this feature. Similarly, enabling LED AFTER JOB COMPLETED will change

the LED color to blue once a job completes.

This feature is only on the M15 and M24 models.

SCREENSAVER: After a predetermined period of time, the cutter goes into standby mode to save energy and the

LCD screen will darken as the cutter goes to sleep. You can change the amount of time before sleep mode

begins.

UNIT: This setting allows you to choose the unit of measurement for all functions involving distance, such as the

spacing between repeats or position of the cutting head. The default setting is MILLIMETERS (mm). The other

option is INCHES (in). Because the SPEED and FORCE settings on a Muse are based on a scale versus units, they

remain the same whether you are in imperial mode or metric.

LANGUAGE: This screen oers a choice of three languages: English, Spanish, and Mandarin. You can choose one

of these for the language in which all settings and menu communication are displayed
