Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for precise and safe cutting:

1. Prepare Material: Place the paper or material to be cut onto the smooth work surface. Ensure it is flat and free from creases.
2. Align Material: Use the integrated metric grid lines, angle guides, and precise scales on the work surface to align your material accurately. The transparent paper clamp helps hold the material in place while allowing visibility of the cutting line.
3. Activate EdgeGlow (if applicable): If your model features EdgeGlow lighting, activate it to illuminate the cutting edge. This provides enhanced visibility and precision for your cut.
