D. Cutting a Straight Opening
Example: Cutting a mat with a 2" border
1. Set the Mat Guide to the 2" mark on the scale and retighten the Black Knobs.
2. Place the mat to be cut into the machine colored side down with the Slip Sheet
underneath and lower the Guide Rail.
3. Using a pencil, mark a line along the full length of the matboard using the Guide Rail
as a guide. Fig 1. Repeat this for remaining three sides.
4. Using the Straight Cutting Head, align the top scribe line with the top border line
and press down on the handle until the cutting head sits flat on the matboard and is
hooked on the Guide Rail.
5. Pull the Straight Cutting Head until the bottom scribe line lines up with the bottom
border line. Repeat until all borders are cut. Fig. 2
ADJUSTMENTS & MAINTENANCE
A. Blade Depth Adjustment- Bevel Cutting Head
Tools Needed: Screwdriver, Ruler
1. Hold the 702 Bevel Cutter upside down in your hand with the blade activated in the
cutting position.
2. Looking at the tip of the blade, measure the exposed amount with a ruler at the
same angle as the blade. For standard thickness mat board (4 ply) only 1/8" of blade
should be seen. To adjust, find the screw head recessed below the bottom of the
surface of the cutting head near where the blade is coming out. Fig. 3
3. Turning the screw to the right (clockwise) will decrease the blade depth, the left
(counterclockwise) will increase the blade depth. Not all matboard requires 1/8".
Thicker matboard will require more. Always have the blade depth set so that the
Slip Sheet is scored only slightly. Cutting even half way through the Slip Sheet is
entirely too much blade depth. This extra blade depth allows the blade tip to flex
and cause hooks and curves in the cut.
Extra blade depth can also cause the Start and Stop indicator to be incorrect which
results in overcuts. This test and adjustment needs to be done periodically as the
depth can increase itself over time with regular use.
