THE ROTARY CUTTER
The Rotary Blade Holder is used to cut textiles, thin papers and other delicate materials,
it uses a circular blade to press down onto a cutting mat or sheet of suitable plastic
placed on the base of the machine.
The red plastic blade guard helps to protect the blade and fingers but, be very careful as
the blade is extremely sharp. The guard has to be closed to allow the blade holder to be
fitted or removed, align the scallop
E
in the red plastic guard with the left hand release
hole and fit/remove the blade holder in the normal way.
USING THE ROTARY BLADE CUTTER
Position the material to be cut on the cutting mat in the machine and lower the cutter
bar. Rotate the safety 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 cutting mat.
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. Lighter downward pressure will be required
with harder plastic bases.
