When the platform exits the rollers, you may hear a loud noise or a “clunking” sound. This
is created by the release of pressure on the die cutting sandwich. This machine is capable of
creating a great deal of pressure the heavy metal components are designed for this activity.
For most cutting activities you will need only the basic two plastic pieces. For both detailed
paper designs as well as multi-layer fabric cutting, you may find the stainless steel adapter
plate to be helpful.
CUTTING ACTIVITY
INSTRUCTIONS
SUGGESTED SETTINGS
There are numerous materials that can be die cut or embossed Use Deep Dish Die, up to
3 layers up to 6-7 on simple designs with the Crossover™ machine. The “+” symbol on the
thumbwheel closes the rollers tighter while the “-” symbol opens up the rollers. It is best
to place the sandwich between the rollers and adjust the thumbwheel until the assembly
is tight. Remove the platform assembly and turn the thumbwheel tighter by one setting. If
the handle turns too easily, tighten slightly; if the handle is difficult to turn, open slightly.
Forcing the handle causes the handle to spring back if turned too hard. Open up the rollers
with a small turn to find the correct setting.
Use of the metal adaptor plate is optional. Generally multiple layers of paper or fabric are
cut better with the metal adaptor plate. Simple designs in paper do not require the metal
plate. For fabric, fewer threads will hang up on fabric when the metal adaptor plate is
placed on the fabric but inside the “sandwich.”
