10D. Cautions to observe when cutting on the mat
NOTE:
The ball bearing feeding side of the table is not designed to be used as a cutting
surface; do not cut on this side as it will permanently damage the surface.
1.
Avoid repetitious cutting in the same location and direction
2.
ALWAYS use the proper knife with a sharp blade
a.
Dull blades make you press harder with the knife.
b.
Slide knives with break-away blades, (not heavy duty), such as OLFA and
Xacto-type knives work best
c.
DO NOT USE
utility knives common to the trades designed to cut sheet
rock and carpet
3.
Apply only enough pressure to cut through the item being cut
a.
Use same pressure you would use trimming vinyl on a vehicle without
scoring the paint
b.
More pressure is not the answer to cutting rigid substrate
4.
Cut ridged substrates such as Coroplast, Sintra and PVC in multiple steps.
a.
Score the outer layer several times until you separate the pieces
5.
Score PVC on the mat, then lay it along the edge of the table and snap it off
6.
The person cutting on the mat determines how long the mat will last
7.
Cutting mats do not last forever and will wear out
