The Ellison AllStar die-cutting system consists of the
AllStar Machine, steel-rule dies and a Die Storage Rack
(each sold separately or in kits, refer to Ellison AllStar
catalog or visit Ellison.com/educators for details). This
value-added package gives you the same outstanding
brand quality that you have come to expect from Ellison.
Place the machine on a
clean, smooth and non-skid
surface at a comfortable
height adequate to keep face
clear of the handle arc when
it is in motion.
Unlock the handle by pressing
in on the Locking Knob and
rotating it counter-clockwise
with the machine handle
lever pressed down, until the
indicator window displays
green.
Remove the Cutting Pad
from the drawer located in
the front of the machine
and place it on the working
area of the machine.
Place material to be cut
against the foam side of the
die. Place the material and
foam against the Cutting
Pad, foam side down.
Slide the Cutting Pad with
die and material into the
machine until the first
alignment icon (indicated by
a star (1) and a line on the
back of the die) is at the
front edge of the Pressure
Plate.
