THE ROTARY CUTTER

The Rotary Blade Holder supplied with the machine is used to cut textiles, thin papers
and other flimsy materials, it uses a circular blade to press down onto the surface of the
textile which is held over a plastic strip embedded in the base of the machine.

The red plastic blade guard protects the blade and makes it safe to handle, however, be
very careful as the blade is very sharp.  The guard has to be closed to allow the blade
holder to be fitted or removed, align the scallop 

in the red plastic guard with the left

hand release hole and fit/remove the blade holder in the normal way.

First raise the Cutter Bar using either Lift & Hold Lever, then loosen both of the Hinge
location screws  until the underside of the screw clears its location recess.  Push the
Cutter Bar until the underside of the location screw is positioned over the middle recess
and tighten Hinge location screws.  Repeat at the other end.  The Cutter Bar is now 
positioned over the plastic Cutting Strip.

The third (furthest) position is also for cutting textile but uses a different part of the
Cutting Strip should it become worn.  The Cutting Strip can also be removed, turned
around or flipped over to allow eight tracks to be used before the strip requires 
replacement.  Replacement Cutting Strips are available from your Keencut agent.
