USING THE ROTARY BLADE CUTTER
Position the material to be cut on the machine and lower the cutter bar. Rotate the safe-
ty guard grip clockwise to reveal the blade. Apply downward pressure to the blade
holder whilst drawing the cutting blade along the material in one continuous motion.
Some materials will cut better if a harder plastic base is used in place of the plastic strip
embedded in the machine. Acrylic works well for this, use a piece at least 15cm (6")
wide and long enough to support the full cut length of the material, place it under the
cutter bar and the material on top, set the tilt adjustment knobs if necessary and cut in
the normal way. Lighter downward pressure will be required with harder plastic bases.
