Bevel Cutting - Using The Limit Stops 1
GB
To check if the cuts are accurate measure the border
width on the coloured side of the mat board and look for
over/under cuts in all corners. If there are inaccuracies
the Limit Stops will need calibrating .
ADJUSTING THE LIMIT STOPS
MATGUIDE -
Cut a mat as described before, (with all
limit stops set at say 3.
Measure the border width on the coloured face of the
mat. If the border width is not accurate, say it measures
3.1cm (3 1/16") adjust the Mat Guide Adjuster (blue
pointer) so it reads what has been measured - 3.1cm (3
1/16") by releasing the Mat Guide Adjuster Screw and
sliding the Adjuster.
Reset the mat guide to 3 in the normal way using the
wing bolt, the Margin Guide is now calibrated for any
size made from that thickness of matboard.
Move the Cutter Head beyond the far edge of the mat
board. Depress the Start or Cut Finger with the thumb of
the left hand until it touches the surface of the slip mat.
Pull the cutter head towards you until the start of cut
finger connects with the edge of the matboard and
stops.
Hold the start of cut finger down and fully insert the
blade with firm downward pressure on the bevel blade
holder.
Release the start of cut finger.
Make the cut by pulling the Cutter Head until it stops
against the End of Cut Limit Stop.
Do not rest your hand on the handle whilst cutting
as it will spoil the results.
Release the Bevel Blade Holder.
Make three more cuts in the same way after turning the
matboard counter-clockwise each time.
