Mat Cutter
C O M P A C T
To Re-parallel:
1. Release the Mat Guide.
2. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the four screws on either side of the
black knobs one turn.
3. Place a ruler or straight edge between the Mat Guide and the Guide Rail. Fig. 2
4. Slide the Mat Guide against the straight edge and the Guide Rail. Make sure
both the Mat Guide and the Guide Rail are making solid contact on both sides
of the straight edge.
5. Re-tighten the Black Knobs first.
6. Then re-tighten the four screws. Do another parallel test to ensure that the Mat
Guide is now parallel.
C. Helpful Hints
1. Always store your Compact Mat Cutter flat. Never
stand the Mat Cutter up against a wall for any
period of time. This can cause the Mat Cutter base
to bow.
2. If you need to clean the Guide Rail, only use an
evaporating solvent (lighter fluid, alcohol) that will
leave no residue. Do not lubricate the Guide Rail as
the substance will soften the Nylon Guides causing
them to bind on the Guide Rail.
3. The Bevel Cutting head has a "spring back" action
that happens when no blade is installed. This
spring action is not intended to pull the blade up
out of the mat after a cut. It is a safety design to
prevent the blade from dropping down into the
blade slot and cutting into a table, your hand, etc.
when not in use. The tightness of the blade slot is
designed to squeeze the blade tip which prevents
flexing giving a better finished cut.
