Cleaning the Mat
Cuttings and cut edges of patterns attached to the
mat may reduce the mat’s adhesive strength and
prevent correct operation. Periodically clean the
mat. Using the included spatula, lightly scrape off
any cuttings attached to the mat.
Use commercially available tweezers to remove any
fabric threads attached to the mat.
Clean the dotted marks on the mat and their
surrounding area.
Note
•
Do not use alcohol or water to clean the mat.
•
When the mat is not being used, clean it, and
then store it with the protective sheet affixed. At
that time, do not affix the protective sheet while
the mat is damp. Otherwise, the mat’s adhesive
strength will decrease.
•
Do not fold or bend the mat to store it.
•
Store the mat at room temperature and in a
location not exposed to high temperatures, high
humidity or direct sunlight.
•
If the mat no longer has any adhesive strength,
replace it with a new one. For details on
optional mats, see “OPTIONAL
ACCESSORIES” on page 66.

Cleaning the Holder
If material cuttings, lint or dust accumulate in the
holder, it may not operate correctly. Clean the
holder after every use.
a
Twist off the holder cap to remove it.
b
Using a commercially available brush, clean off
cuttings, lint and dust.
Specifically clean off lint and dust around the blade. If
lint and dust accumulate between the blade and
holder, the blade may no longer rotate or the cutting
quality may become poor.
c
Attach the holder cap to the holder.
For details on attaching the holder cap, see “Installing”
on page 57.
