CUTTING MULTIPLE OPENINGS AND
TITLE BOXES
The Start of Cut (green) Limit Stop can
be used to great advantage after just a
little practice to accurately cut multiple
openings beyond the normal scope of the
Stops.
Pencil mark the back of the mat board
with the required layout and place an 'x'
in each aperture to be cut. If the 'x' of the
aperture to be cut is under or to the right
of the Cutter Bar then the bevel will not
be accidentally cut in the wrong direction.
Place the mat board under the Cutter Bar
so the bevel blade cuts along the pencil
line.
Set the Start of Cut (green) Limit Stop to
zero.
Depress the Start of Cut Finger (A) and
move the Cutter Head until the tip of the
finger reaches the horizontal line at the
beginning of the marked aperture.
Insert the bevel blade fully.
Release the Start of Cut Finger.
Cut until the engraved line on the Blade
Support Plate (B) reaches the horizontal
line at the end of the marked aperture.
Repeat until all the apertures are
complete.
You may find small overcuts or undercuts
in the corners, experiment with the Start
of Cut setting (initially zero) and the finish
position to the finish line on the Blade
Support Plate to achieve a perfect
corner.
