C. Cutting a Beveled Opening Using Production Stops
1. Always use a backing sheet when bevel cutting.
2. To release mat guide loosen the black knobs two turns. Slide the mat guide in the angled
slots until the front edge of the mat guide is along the increment of the mat guide scale
of the border width you wish to cut. Fig 1
3. Lift the handle bar and place a backing sheet on the cutting board. Then place your pre-
sized mat board color side down against the squaring arm and to the left against the mat
guide and lower the handle bar.
4. Attach and slide the bottom production stop up to the increment on the scale of the
border size you wish to cut. Fig 2
5. Slide the top edge of the movable stop up to the increment on the scale of the border
size you wish to cut. Fig 3
6. Slide the cutting head into position in front of the top edge of the mat board. As the
movable stop approaches the edge of the mat board, press down on the stop foot with
your left index finger until it gently makes contact with the top edge of the mat. Fig 4
7. Holding the stop foot in place with your finger, rotate the blade holder down to enter the
blade into the mat. TIP: Hold the cutting head firmly enough to not allow it to "creep
forward" when first inserting the blade which will produce an overcut.
8. Release the stop foot with your finger so that it raises above the edge of the mat board
and pull the cutting head towards yourself until it makes gentle contact with the bottom
production stop. Fig 5
9. Turn the mat 1/4 turn to the right and make sure that the mat is down against the
squaring arm and against the mat guide on the left.
10. Continue steps 6 through 9 until all four sides are cut.
TIP: Do not push down on the handle bar when cutting, this will flex the cutting
bar upwards and prevent the blade from cutting through the mat board.
