Hi Katie,
Put your mat in the machine, press the online button to go offline. Use the arrow keys to place the blade where you would like to make your test cut, press the origin button, make sure you are still offline and press the "test" button. Your machine should cut a small rectangle.
For vinyl, I use a force of 20 to 30 with a 45 degree blade and my click holder set on two. This will vary from user to user and with different types of vinyl. Start with a slow speed, around 50. You can increase this as you become more comfortable. Good luck, and hang in there. It may seem difficult now, but it will all be second nature soon.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
