User's Manual

Do not press the head deeper than the locked position as this will cause the blade to cut into the baseboard.
Full size mat boards can be cut down to a desired size using the straight blade side on the cutting head.
The removable squaring arm is helpful for squaring and sizing the mat (Figure 15).
Step 1
Set the squaring arm stop for the measurement you want and tighten the knob (Figure 15).
Step 2
Remove the mat guide and the slip sheet. Place the mat board under the cutting bar and against the
squaring arm and squaring arm stop (Figure 16). The lower stop should be moved all the way to the
bottom of the guide rail bar – it does not need to be tightened.
Step 3
Adjust the straight cutting head blade so it will cut about 1/32nd of an inch deeper than the mat board
you are cutting. To cut, position the cutting head above the top edge of the mat board and rotate the
straight cutting head down as far as it will go. Lock it in position with the lockdown pin for the cutting
process (Figure 17).

Sizing Mat Board
Figure 15
Figure 16
Full sheet mat board is most often
not square when purchased new.
Leaving any factory corners can
produce unsquare mats. If you
need to square the board, trim a
small amount off all four sides of
the mat board using the straight
cut side. When trimming, cut
opposite sides first and then the
remaining opposite sides. (trim
each long side first then trim the
short sides)
