Cleaning the Mat
Cuttings and cut edges of patterns attached to the mat
may reduce the mat’s adhesive strength and prevent
correct operation. Periodically clean the mat. Using the
included spatula, lightly scrape off any cuttings attached
to the mat. Strongly rubbing the adhesive side of the mat
may damage it.
Use tweezers (available either as optional
accessories or commercially) to remove any fabric
threads attached to the mat.
Clean the dotted marks on the mat and their
surrounding area with a dry cloth.
Note
• Do not use alcohol or water to clean the mat.
• When the mat is not being used, clean it, and
then store it with the protective sheet affixed. If
the protective sheet is not affixed, the mat’s
adhesive strength will decrease. At that time,
do not affix the protective sheet while the mat is
damp. Otherwise, the mat’s adhesive strength
will decrease.
• Do not fold or bend the mat to store it.
• Store the mat at room temperature and in a
location not exposed to high temperatures, high
humidity or direct sunlight.
• If the mat no longer has any adhesive strength,
replace it with a new one. For details on
optional mats, see “OPTIONAL
ACCESSORIES” on page 122.
