DIE CUTTING WITH INTRICATE DIES
There will be some dies that are more difficult to cut than others. When you
experience this we recommend substituting the B plate for the D plate. The D plate
has a smaller surface area so the pressure can be focussed more on the dies area
and thinner so the roller is closer to the die itself.
1. Ensure the roller mechanism is to the side of the machine.
2. Place your A Plate on top of the base plate
3. Place your die on the A Plate.
4. Place your material to be cut over your die and then your D Plate on top.
5. Adjust the pressure. The exact pressure will depend on the manufacturer of the
die and the weight of material so you may need to adjust the dial up or down
to get the perfect pressure.
6. Turn the handle until the roller mechanism has gone over the complete die.
7. Roll the mechanism to the opposite end of the machine, or back to the start and
remove the die and card from the machine.
NOTE: You may feel the pressure increase slightly as the rollers go over the die. This is supposed to
happen. However, if you feel that you are having to force the rollers over the die reverse the rollers
and reduce the pressure on the machine before trying again. DO NOT reset dial during operation,
always reverse the roller back before resetting the dial.
NOTE: You will hear a cracking noise as the rollers go over the die; this is the die being pressed
through the card and into the cutting plate and is perfectly normal, although it can be alarming to hear
it the first time. You will also see marks appearing on your cutting plate – this is all part of the cutting
process and is supposed to happen.

TIP: Due to the increased pressure you may find
your D plate bends. To reduce the risk of this
occurring, alternate the side of the plate that gets
cut after each use.
