Bevel Cutting
Always adjust the blade depth so that the
smallest amount of blade is exposed to just cut
through the material, it will produce a better
quality cut and require less effort. There is a
groove along the base plate which
accommodates the tip of the blade when
cutting. Thin materials may need the cutting
mat to support them to avoid the material being
pressed into the groove which will produce
inconsistent and unsatisfactory results.
©
A cutting mat must always be used when bevel cutting thick materials as the blade may run outside the groove and
damage the base plate.
DO NOT REST YOUR HAND ON THE LONG LIFTING HANDLE WHILST CUTTING
BECAUSE THE BLADE PENETRATION WILL BE REDUCED.

Vertical Cutting
The vertical cutter can also be used with or without a cutting mat, this will help to produce a better quality cut on most
materials. The blade depth should be set just long enough for the tip to penetrate the material being cut.

The vertical cutter has a two way lock which can lock the blade in the down or up position. Slide the black pin to the left
to lock and to the right to release.
