2. Clamp the plastic to be scored in the machine, position and depress the cutting head so the
blade touches the plastic at the top.
3. Apply thumb pressure to the cutter and draw the blade down the material in one continuous
motion.
4. Remove the plastic from the machine and snap it by hand.
CAUTION ALWAYS USE HAND AND EYE PROTECTION WHEN SNAPPING PLASTIC
Changing the scoring blade

5. Eject the medium duty utility blade using the black ejector pin, replace the blade to the right of
the clamping plate, push the blade in as far as it will go and tighten the blade clamping screw.
