How to use

Place the paper stack aligned to the integrated ruler or edge guide, ensuring the material lies flat against the base. Hold the stack firmly with one hand to prevent movement and lower the cutting arm (or slide the blade, depending on the model’s operation) through the material in a single, steady motion to produce a clean cut. For thicker stacks or more accurate alignment, check the blade edge and reposition the material before cutting. Store the cutter on a flat surface when not in use.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results and extended blade life, avoid cutting materials beyond the specified 0.6 mm capacity. Use light card stock and standard office paper for best performance. Keep the cutting edge clean and free of adhesive residue; if precise alignment is required frequently, consider using an external straightedge or alignment jig.
