Key specifications

• Cutting method: manual guillotine blade
• Intended materials: paper, photographs, light card stock

How to use

Place the stack to be trimmed on the cutting board, align edges against the backstop or guide and hold the material firmly in place. Lower the hand-operated lever to bring the guillotine blade down in a single smooth motion to complete the cut. For thicker stacks or heavier card stock, trim in smaller batches to ensure a clean cut and maintain user control. After cutting, raise the blade and remove trimmed materials before proceeding with the next stack.

Recommendations

For safe and precise results, keep fingers clear of the blade area, use the guide to align materials, and avoid cutting materials thicker than light card stock. Regularly check the blade for sharpness and replace or service it as needed to preserve cutting quality.
