NOTICE
Grounding Instructions
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not t the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor
with insulation having an outer surface that is green with
or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualied electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn out cord immediately.

Incorrect operation may cause injury
To Ensure Safe Use
WARNING
Be sure to follow the operation procedures described in this documentation.
Never allow anyone unfamiliar with the
usage or handling of the machine to
touch it.
Incorrect usage or handling may lead to an
accident.
Keep children away from the machine.
The machine includes areas and components that pose a hazard to children and
may result in injury, blindness, choking, or
other serious accident.
Never operate the machine while tired
or after ingesting alcohol or any medication.
Operation requires unimpaired judgment.
Impaired judgment may result in an accident.
Never use the machine for any purpose
for which it is not intended, or use the
machine in an undue manner that exceeds its capacity.
Doing so may result in injury or re.
For accessories (optional and consumable items, power cord, and the like), use
only genuine articles compatible with
this machine.
Incompatible items may lead to an accident.
WARNING
Never attempt to disassemble, repair, or
modify the machine.
Doing so may result in re, electrical shock,
or injury. Entrust repairs to a trained service
technician.
CAUTION
Exercise caution to avoid being pinched
or becoming caught.
Inadvertent contact with certain areas may
cause the hand or ngers to be pinched or
become caught. Use care when performing
operations.
Never attempt operation while wearing a
necktie, necklace, or loose clothing. Bind
long hair securely.
Such items may become caught in the machine, resulting in injury.
Conduct operations in a clean, brightly
lit location.
Working in a location that is dark or cluttered
may lead to an accident, such as becoming
caught in the machine as the result of an
inadvertent stumble.
Never climb or lean on the machine.
The machine is not made to support a person. Climbing or leaning on the machine
may dislodge components and cause a slip
or fall, resulting in injury.
Before attempting cleaning, maintenance, or attachment or detachment of
optional items, disconnect the power
cord.
Attempting such operations while the machine is connected to a power source may
result in injury or electrical shock.
Caution: cutting tool.
This machine has an internal tool. To avoid
injury, handle the tool with care.
5
To Ensure Safe Use
Danger of electrical short, shock, electrocution, or re
WARNING
Connect to an electrical outlet that complies with this machine's ratings (for
voltage, frequency, and current).
Incorrect voltage or insufcient current may
cause re or electrical shock.
Ratings
Never use out of doors or in any location where exposure to water or high
humidity may occur. Never touch with
wet hands.
Doing so may result in fire or electrical
shock.
Never allow any foreign object to get
inside. Never expose to liquid spills.
Inserting objects such as coins or matches
or allowing beverages to be spilled into the
ventilation ports may result in re or electrical shock. If anything gets inside, immediately disconnect the power cord and contact
your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer.
Never place any ammable object nearby.
Never use a combustible aerosol spray
nearby. Never use in any location where
gases can accumulate.
Combustion or explosion may be a danger.
WARNING
Handle the power cord, plug, and electrical outlet correctly and with care. Never
use any article that is damaged.
Using a damaged article may result in re
or electrical shock.
When using an extension cord or power
strip, use one that adequately satises
the machine's ratings (for voltage, frequency, and current).
Use of multiple electrical loads on a single
electrical outlet or of a lengthy extension
cord may cause re.
Connect to ground.
This can prevent re or electrical shock due
to current leakage in the event of malfunction.
Position so that the power plug is within
immediate reach at all times.
This is to enable quick disconnection of the
power plug in the event of an emergency. Install the machine next to an electrical outlet.
Also, provide enough empty space to allow
immediate access to the electrical outlet.
If sparking, smoke, burning odor, unusual
sound, or abnormal operation occurs, immediately unplug the power cord. Never
use if any component is damaged.
Continuing to use the machine may result in
re, electrical shock, or injury. Contact your
authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer.

11
Pour utiliser en toute sécurité
Ris
que de décharge ou de choc électrique, d'électrocution ou
d'incendie
ATTENTION

aux caractéristiques de cet appareil (tension, fréquence et courant).
Une tension incorrecte ou un courant insuf-
sant peuvent causer un incendie ou un
choc électrique.
Caractéristiques
Ne jamais utiliser à l'extérieur ni à un
endroit où l'appareil risque d'être exposé

La mise à la terre peut prévenir un incendie
ou un choc électrique dus à une fuite de
courant en cas de défaillance.
Placer l'appareil de façon à ce que la
che soit facile d'accès en tout temps.
Ainsi, l'appareil pourra être débranché rapidement en cas d'urgence. Installer l'appareil
près d'une prise électrique. En outre, prévoir
sufsamment d'espace pour que la prise
électrique soit facile d'accès.
S'il se produit des étincelles, de la fumée,
une odeur de brûlé, un bruit inhabituel ou
un fonctionnement anormal, débrancher
immédiatement le câble d'alimentation.
Ne jamais utiliser si un composant est
endommagé.
Continuer à utiliser l'appareil peut causer un
incendie, un choc électrique ou des blessures. Communiquer avec le représentant
Roland DG Corp. Autorisé.
12
Pour utiliser en toute sécurité
Remarques importantes à propos du câble d'alimentation, de la che et de la prise électrique

Pour utiliser en toute sécurité
Le poids total de l’appareil peut être de 70 kg (154 lb.)
ATTENTION
Installer l'appareil à un endroit stable et
plat et capable de supporter son poids.
Le poids total de l’appareil peut être de 70
kg (154 lb.) ou plus pour le modèle de 64
po (, 60 kg (132 lb.) ou plus pour le modèle
de 50 po, 55 kg (121 lb.) ou plus pour le
modèle de 40 po, 50 kg (110 lb.) ou plus

For GX-300, the material with a width from 50mm to 540mm and with a width from 582mm to 915mm
can be loaded.
There is no special restriction on length (vertical dimension), as long as it is 200 mm (7-7/8 in.) or more.
You can also use at material such as standard-size and piece material. For more information, refer to the
page 70 “Using the Cut Material”
The positions of the grit rollers (pinch rollers that secure the material) vary from one model to another. The
settable ranges for the left and right movable pinch rollers are predetermined, and cannot be changed.
Refer to the page 29, 30, 31, and 32 “Material Loading Position.”
Setting a pinch roller outside the allowed range causes an error message to appear.
Roll material must be placed at a predetermined shaft position.
Failure to do so may result in falling of the roll, leading to injury.

Loading the Material (Roll Material)
Using the grit marks as a reference, position the material so that its right edge lies
over the right grit roller and its left edge simultaneously lies over any of the other grit
rollers.
Grit marks
These indicate the position of the grit rollers.

Performing high-speed cutting when only a little roll material remains
may cause the roll to fall o the shafts. If this happens, it may help to
pass the shaft through the roll.
