Using the Main Cutting Head (Straight, Skip, Wave, Score)

1. Identify the desired blade type on the cutting head. The cutting head typically contains multiple blades for different styles, which can be rotated or selected.
2. Lift the clear cutting guide bar.
3. Place the paper or material flat against the base plate, aligning it with the desired measurement marks or grid lines.
4. Lower the clear cutting guide bar firmly to secure the paper in place.
5. Press down firmly on the cutting head and slide it along the guide rail to make the cut. Ensure even pressure is applied for a clean and precise cut.
6. Lift the cutting head and guide bar to remove the cut material.

Using the Corner Rounder

1. Locate the separate corner rounder tool, typically integrated into the left side of the trimmer.
2. Insert the corner of the paper fully into the slot of the corner rounder.
3. Press down firmly on the top of the corner rounder to punch the rounded corner.
4. Remove the paper.

Maintenance

Blade Replacement

Over time, the cutting blades may become dull and require replacement to maintain cutting precision and quality. The trimmer is designed for easy blade replacement.

1. Choose: Open the blade holder compartment, typically located on the right side of the trimmer, to access the spare blades. Select the proper blade for replacement.
2. Change: Carefully remove the cutting head from the guide rail. Rotate the existing blade anti-clockwise to detach it. Install the new blade by rotating it clockwise until it clicks into place.
3. Clean: After replacement, ensure the old blade is safely stored or disposed of. Clean any paper dust or debris from the blade compartment before closing.

Cleaning

Regularly clean the trimmer to prevent paper dust and debris from affecting performance and to ensure smooth operation.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the base plate, measurement grid, and cutting guide.
• Remove any small paper scraps or dust from the cutting channel and blade area.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the plastic or metal components of the trimmer.

Troubleshooting

Uneven or Ragged Cuts

• Cause: Dull blade.
  Solution: Replace the blade following the "Blade Replacement" instructions in the Maintenance section.
• Cause: Paper not held securely.
  Solution: Ensure the paper is laid flat and firmly held under the clear cutting guide bar before sliding the cutting head.
• Cause: Insufficient or inconsistent pressure on the cutting head.
  Solution: Apply consistent, firm pressure when sliding the cutting head along the guide rail.

Paper Jams

• Cause: Attempting to cut too many sheets at once.
  Solution: Adhere to the maximum cutting capacity (3-5 sheets of 80gsm paper). Reduce the number of sheets per cut.
• Cause: Misaligned paper.
  Solution: Ensure paper is properly aligned with the guide and flat against the base before initiating the cut.

Corner Rounder Not Working Effectively

• Cause: Paper not fully inserted or misaligned.
  Solution: Ensure the corner of the paper is fully seated into the slot before pressing down.
• Cause: Dull punch.
  Solution: While the corner rounder punch is generally durable, excessive force or very thick materials can dull it. If issues persist, contact customer support.
