Basic Trimming
- Forbered materiale: Place the paper, photo, or cardstock onto the trimmer base.
- Juster: Use the screened guides (inch, metric, or angled) on the base to align your material precisely for the desired cut. Ensure the edge to be cut is positioned directly under the cutting line.
- Engage Clamp: Gently lower the automatic clamp bar onto the material. The clamp will hold the material firmly in place, preventing movement during the cut.
- Execute Cut: Hold the rotary blade carriage and slide it firmly along the guide bar, from one end of the material to the other. The self-sharpening blade will cut cleanly in either direction.
- Fjern materiale: Once the cut is complete, lift the automatic clamp and remove the trimmed material.
