B. CUTTING A BEVELED OPENING USING MARKED LINES
EXAMPLE: Cutting a mat with a 2” border.
1. To re-install the Mat Guide, loosen the black knobs three turns and with the raised edge
towards the Guide Rail, line up the Mat Guide with the parallel slots. Hold the Mat Guide at
either end and evenly drop the Mat Guide into the aluminum channels and then tighten the
black knobs.
2. Set the Mat Guide to the desired border width. For example for a 2” border align the front of
the Mat Guide at the 2” mark and tighten the black knobs.

3. Make sure the Slip Sheet is in place before bevel cutting. You must use a Slip Sheet. The
straight cut slot underneath the Guide Rail is used for straight cutting only.
4. Place the mat color side down under the Guide Rail, against the Mat Guide and down against
the Squaring Arm.

5. Using a pencil, draw a line down the full length of the back of the matboard. Repeat this for
the remaining three sides.

6. Hook the 702 Bevel Cutter on to the Guide Rail.

closest to the top of the machine.

mat.

9. Release the Anti-Crawl Pin and pull the cutting head towards you until the Start and Stop
Indicator line lines up with the line on the matboard closest to you. DO NOT GO PAST THE
LINE!

NOTE: It is essential to keep even downward pressure on the Blade Holder as you cut.
10. Rotate the Blade Holder back up to the neutral position, turn the mat 1/4 turn to the right and
repeat steps 7 through 9 for the remaining three sides to finish the mat.
