5. Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Paper: Stack the paper neatly and align the edges. The maximum cutting capacity is 360 sheets of 80g paper or a thickness of 0.5-45mm. Do not exceed this capacity.
2. Unlock Handle: Release the safety lock on the cutting handle.
3. Position Paper: Place the paper stack onto the cutting base, aligning it with the desired measurement on the grid ruler. Use the movable positioning stopper to hold the paper firmly against the back guide for consistent cuts.
4. Secure Paper: Rotate the handle on the right side of the paper cutter to lower and tighten the paper pressing device. This secures the paper stack, preventing shifting during the cut.
5. Perform Cut: Firmly grasp the lengthened cutting handle. With a smooth, continuous motion, pull the handle down to cut through the paper stack. Apply steady pressure.
6. Release Paper: Once the cut is complete, lift the cutting handle back to its upright position and engage the safety lock. Then, loosen the paper pressing device by rotating its handle.
7. Remove Cut Paper: Carefully remove the cut paper from the base.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the cutter's surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. Remove any paper dust or debris from the cutting area.
• Blade Care: The blade is made of high-quality steel and designed for longevity. If the blade becomes dull, it may require professional sharpening or replacement. Always engage the safety lock and wear protective gloves when inspecting the blade.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to moving parts, such as the handle pivot points and the paper pressing mechanism, to ensure smooth operation.
• Storage: When not in use, store the paper cutter in a clean, dry environment with the safety lock engaged.

7. Troubleshooting

• Uneven Cuts: Ensure the paper stack is evenly aligned and securely clamped by the paper pressing device. Check that the movable positioning stopper is set correctly.
• Difficulty Cutting: Verify that the paper thickness does not exceed the maximum capacity (45mm or 360 sheets of 80g paper). The blade may be dull and require sharpening or replacement.
• Handle Sticking: Check for any obstructions in the handle mechanism. Apply lubrication to pivot points if necessary.
• Paper Slipping: Ensure the paper pressing device is tightened sufficiently to hold the paper stack firmly.
