Cutting Procedure
- Prepare Material: Lay the fabric or material flat on a stable cutting surface. For straight cuts, it is recommended to mark a line with chalk or another marker.
- Position Cutter: Place the cutter on the material, ensuring the blade is aligned with your desired cutting path. The three rollers under the base allow for smooth movement.
- Engage Power: Press the power switch to start the blade rotation.
- Cut Material: Gently push the cutter along the marked line. The machine is designed to cut multiple layers (up to 27mm/1.06 inches thick) of various materials such as cotton, leather, wool, silk, chemical fiber, and thick carpet.
- Maintain Control: Guide the cutter steadily. For curved cuts, move the cutter slowly and deliberately.
- Finish Cut: Once the cut is complete, release the power switch to stop the blade.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your cutter.
Blade Sharpening
The cutter includes a built-in whetstone for convenient blade sharpening.
