Instruction on Electric Rotary Cutter
Caution
Please read these instructions carefully before using your electric rotary cutter. Unplug the power cable
from the power source before you perform any adjustment or maintenance on the cutter. Unplug the power
cable when the cutter is not in use. You should handle your cutter with extreme caution because of the
sharp blade. When using, make sure the cord is always behind the cutter.

Operation (See Figure 1)
Adjust the blade guard to “just above the fabric” to help prevent accidentally
cutting the cord. Plug cord into an electric outlet (110V). Turn on the
cutter by squeezing and holding the switch bar. Always start the cutter
before contacting the fabric. Hold the cutter securely as you move steadily
forward along your desired cutting path.
Practice on a piece of scrap
fabric before using your cutter for the first time.

Blade Sharpening (see Figure 2)
1.Put one drop of machine oil on the surface of the sharpening stone.
2.Connect the power cable to an electric outlet (110V).
3.Squeeze and hold the switch bar with your left hand to turn the cutter on.
4.Use your finger to press lightly on the sharpener button with constant pressure
for 5 seconds. The pressure should be large enough to keep the sharpening
stone in continuous contact with the blade to obtain a sharp, uniform edge.
Repeat this operation if the blade is not sharp enough. Note: Excessive sharpening
will reduce blade life.
Blade replacement (see figure 3)
Replace the blade with a new one when the
diameter of the blade becomes too small to
meet the lower blade properly. Blade is sharp,
use caution when handling.

lock screw.
Lubrication and Maintenance
1.Add a drop of machine oil in the hole on the oil-ear (see Figure 1) and oil
hole “A” (see Figure 4) once a day if you use the cutter every day. Otherwise
add a drop before every use of the cutter.
2.Inject a small amount of grease into the oil hole “B” (see Figure 4) once a
month for occasional users, or once every two weeks for heavy use.
3.Clean and brush off any dust or dirt o back side of the blade and cutter bottom
by taking the blade out once a week or whenever you see a dirt build-up.
