Making Adjustments
Figure 19
Figure 20
From time to time, you may need to make adjustments to your Platinum Edge Mat Cutter. The
following categories will guide you through the process of adjusting your mat cutter if some
fine tuning is needed.
Re-squaring the Squaring Arm
It is possible over time for the squaring arm to come slightly out of square to the cutting bar.
In this situation, you will need to re-square the squaring arm.
Before making any adjustments, check the squareness of the machine with this test. You will
need an L shaped carpenter’s square found in any hardware store.
Step 1
Insure that you have the long 32” squaring arm tightly attached to the squaring arm mount.
Step 2
Remove any mat board or slip sheet material from the machine.
Step 3
Slide the cutting head to the far end of the cutting bar out of the way.
Step 4
Place the L shaped carpenter’s square into the machine into the 90 degree corner formed by
the cutting bar and the squaring arm. (Fig 19 & 20)
Step 5
Check the relationship of the L shaped carpenter’s square to the cutting bar and squaring arm.
It should fit tightly with no movement. If there is movement, determine which direction the
squaring arm needs to move to be square again and allow the L shaped carpenter’s square to
snugly fit into the machine with no movement.
