Using the Cutter
Installing the Cutter in the Cutter Holder
Be careful to keep the cutter from falling into a gap in this machine. We recommend replacing the cutter over
the sheet to enable the cutter blade to be picked up easily if it falls.
• Avoid touching the cutter blade. Failure to do so may result in injury.
• Do not shake or swing the cutter holder. Doing so may cause the blade to come off.
• Avoid storing this product in locations accessible to children.
• When disposing of cutters, contact an industrial waste disposal operator or dispose in
accordance with the local laws and regulations.
