How to use

Place the Dahle 508 on a flat, stable surface and align the material using the format lines and millimetre markings on the base. Position the paper under the pressure rail and use the automatic clamping feature to fix the material along the intended cutting line. Slide the rotary cutting head along the rail to perform the cut, keeping steady pressure and a straight movement for even results. Change the cutting head if a different function (perforation, folding, deckle) is required, following the manufacturer’s instructions for safe replacement.

Recommendations

For best results, avoid cutting stacks thicker than the specified 0.6 mm capacity and check paper type before cutting. Keep the safety head closed while handling the cutter and store the unit on a stable surface. Use the optional creative set 981 when perforation, deckle or folding cuts are needed.
