Step 1
There are two bolts each on the right and left horizontal extrusion that prevent the cutting beds from moving if someone
puts a heavy weight on the ends of the cutting beds - safety feature.
Loosen the jam nuts and bolts before making any adjustments to either the left or the right cutting bed.
Step 2 - Squaring the Left Cutting Bed
1. Lay the builder’s square on the left cutting bed.
2. Put the mat cutting tool in the tool holder. The horizontal portion of the builder’s square should be resting on the left
cutting bed. The vertical portion of the builder’s square should be resting - just touching the mat cutting razor blade.
Without moving the builder’s square, raise the cutting cart to the top of the vertical portion of the builder’s square. The
distance from the blade to the builder’s square must be the same at the top and bottom throughout the cutting cart’s
travel.
3. If there is a gap at the
top
of the builder’s square/blade intersection, then you must loosen the jam nut on the left side
of the left horizontal extrusion. Tighten the 3/8” bolt slightly until the gap disappears. Tighten the jam nut.
4. If there is a gap at the
bottom
of the builder’s square/blade intersection, then you must square the left cutting bed the
other direction. Loosen the jam nut on the left side of the left horizontal extrusion. You must loosen the 3/8” bolt slightly.
This will change the gap. The gap must be the same at the top and bottom of the builder’s square throughout the cutting
cart’s travel. Recheck.
5. Once the gap is the same, tighten the jam nut. You have completed squaring the left horizontal cutting bed.
Step 3 - Squaring the Right Cutting Bed
1. Place the builder’s square on the left cutting bed and slide the builder’s square over to the right cutting bed. There
should be no gap under the builder’s square on the right cutting bed.
2. If there is a gap
under
the builder’s square on the right cutting bed, loosen the two jam nuts under the right horizontal
extrusion. Adjust the two 3/8” bolts to make the surface of the right cutting bed flush with the bottom of the builder’s
square. The builder’s square should slide from left-to-right and right-to-left without hitting either cutting bed.
