Compact dimensions and low weight provide portability and simple storage without compromising stability during operation.

Key specifications

• Cutting length: 34 cm
• Cutting capacity: 2.5 mm (up to 25 sheets)
• Overall width: 443 mm
• Overall depth: 285 mm
• Weight: 3.2 kg

How to use

Place the stack of paper against the alignment guide and lower the safety guard if present. Align the cutting edge to the desired mark on the cutter base or ruler, then apply steady downward pressure on the handle to make a single, even cut through the stack. For thicker stacks, make several lighter passes rather than forcing a single heavy cut to preserve blade life and maintain a straight edge. After use, return the blade to the safe position and store the unit on a flat surface.

Recommendations

For consistent results, check that paper edges are squared before cutting and avoid exceeding the stated cutting capacity of 2.5 mm or 25 sheets. Regularly inspect and, if applicable, professionally sharpen or replace the blade to ensure continued clean cuts and safe operation.
