TIP: To cut two proportionate characters (such as a base character and its shadow) 
using the 

Fit to Page

 mode, select the 

Fit to Page

 mode with the larger character 

(shadow) selected first. Press the 

OK

 button to see the calculated size of the character 

and press 

CUT

. Note this size. Unload and remove that cut and load in your next 

cutting mat and paper. Then turn off the 

Fit to Page

 mode and select the noted 

calculated size for the smaller (base) character. These two cuts (the shadow and the 
base) will now be in perfect proportion to each other.

TIP: After making your cutting selection, press the 

OK

 button to see the calculated size 

of the cut.

 

TIP: The length in this mode is dependent upon the currently selected unit of measurement 
(Inches—1/4ths, Inches—1/10ths, cm, or mm). The

 Fit to Length

 measurement will adjust to 

the nearest increment, so it will not create proportions between characters that are per-
fect to the dial size. If you want to be more exact, use mm as your unit of measurement.

The 

Quantity

 mode allows you to choose the 

number of cuts you want of those selected on 
the display. To use the

 Quantity

 mode, press 

the 

Quantity

 button until the button is backlit 

in green and the display reads “Quantity on” 
and offers instructions. Then use the plus and 
minus arrows (the Left and Right Arrow Buttons) 
to indicate the quantity of cuts desired. Then 
make your cutting selection and press 

CUT

. The 

display will show a running total of how many 
cuts from the selected quantity have been cut. 
If the quantity selected exceeds the amount of 
available paper, you can unload the mat and 
load more paper. The machine will keep track 
of the number of cuts made. 

The 

Fit to Page

 mode maximizes the size of the 

character on the page, overriding the size set 
with the Size Dial. To use the

 Fit to Page

 mode, 

press the 

Fit to Page

 button any time before 

pressing the 

CUT

 button. The mode will be on 

when the button is backlit in green. After 
pressing 

CUT

, the display will preview the cut 

height and length before the machine begins 
to cut.

The

 Fit to Length

 mode allows you to set the size 

of the length of a designated cut. This mode 
is only available in the Landscape mode. This 
mode takes out the guesswork of setting the 
height of each cut with the Size Dial and 
hoping to make a cut a certain length. To use 
the

 Fit to Length

 mode, press the 

Fit to Length 

button so that the button is backlit in green. 
Then make your cut selection and determine 
the length using the Size Dial on the right side 
of the front of the machine. Press 

CUT

 and the 

display will preview the height before the ma-
chine begins to cut. The

 Fit to Length 

mode will 

apply to all cuts on the display screen.

Pressing the 

OK

 button once the quantity count has started will reset the cut tally back to 

zero, whether or not you’ve adjusted the quantity using the Left and Right Arrow Buttons.
