How to use

Place the paper stack against the alignment guide and position the cutting edge at the desired measurement along the cutting strip. Hold the paper firmly to prevent shifting, then press or slide the cutting arm to perform a single straight cut across the stack. For best results, avoid overloading the cutter beyond the specified sheet capacity and make repeated light passes only if necessary. Keep fingers clear of the blade during operation and use the alignment markings to achieve consistent results.

Recommendations

Regularly check and clean the cutting edge and guide surface to remove paper dust and small debris. Use within the rated sheet capacity to preserve blade life and ensure consistent cuts. Store the cutter in a dry place and handle the blade with care during maintenance or replacement.
