To tighten, move the wheel towards you. This adjuster allows you to fine tune the
pressure of the rollers. Below the thumbwheel is a slider with numbers. Numbered ‘0’
to ‘18’, the lower numbers are a general setting for thinner dies and materials, while the
larger numbers open up the rollers for thicker materials and dies. We suggest you ‘make
friends’ with your Crossover™ and you will quickly adjust to using the thumbwheel and will
anticipate the correct settings for your projects.
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS
The Crossover™ offers the unique capability to
adjust the space between the rollers, eliminating
the need to use shims and multiple layers of plastic
to get a good result. The adjustment ‘thumbwheel’
is conveniently placed between two arrows on
the centre top of the machine. If left-handed, turn
the machine around, however, ensure you turn
the handle counter-clockwise when operating the
machine.
To lessen pressure, move the wheel away from you.
INSTRUCTIONS
THE CUTTING PLATFORM
The basic platform consists of two layers. A
thick white base and a thick clear plastic cutting
plate for viewing. The Crossover™ cutting plate
is almost twice as thick as smaller machines
available, and will last much longer without
‘bowing’. Included in your package is a stainless
steel adaptor plate for detailed die cuts or multi-
layer fabric cuts.
Use the thick white platform as the base plate then place your choice of die on top with
the blade facing up. Remember that you can add multiple dies to the plate to make cutting
even quicker. Position your appropriate layers of material over the die and depending on
whether you require extra pressure for detailed designs, place the stainless steel adaptor
plate over the top. Finish with the clear top plate and adjust the machine rollers accordingly
before cutting. To emboss, use the same plate configuration and place the embossing folder
on the base plate with the material in between.
