5. Operation

Operating your electric paper cutter is straightforward. Follow these steps for efficient and precise cutting:

1. Power On: Turn on the main power switch, usually located on the side or back of the machine.
2. Prepare Material: Place the material (paper, cardstock, etc.) onto the cutting bed. Ensure the stack is aligned neatly. The cutter can handle stacks up to 4 cm (1.57 inches) thick.
3. Positioning: Use the graduated scale panel and the adjustable back gauge (baffle lock knob) to precisely position your material for the desired cut size. The alignment function ensures accurate positioning.

6. Perform Cut: To initiate a cut, simultaneously press the two cutting keys (buttons) with both hands. This two-handed operation is a critical safety feature. The electric motor will power the blade through the material.
7. Retrieve Material: Once the cut is complete, release the cutting keys and carefully remove the cut material.
8. Power Off: When finished, turn off the main power switch and engage the child-proof safety lock.
