Helps & Hints - Ellison SuperStar Excel Manual De Instrucciones

5. Helps & Hints
1. Dies must be placed rubber side up on the Extended Sliding Tray.
2. When cutting delicate or thin materials, place a scrap of paper between the
die and the material to be cut.
3. For your convenience, use dies with an appropriately sized cutting pad.
See Die and Accessory Compatibility Table on page 12.
4. For easier cutting, place dies on Tray diagonally.
5. Use the SuperStar Excel Machine to cut a variety of different materials.
See Materials Guide on page 11 for suggestions.
6. Fewer sheets of material should be used when cutting very complicated shapes.
7. When cutting felt, poly foam or delicate materials, place a scrap of paper over
the material to be cut.
8. Use of Premium Crease Pad (sold separately) is required with Crease-Rule dies.
9. Use only one sheet of material with Crease-Rule dies.
10. If crease rule is cutting through the material rather than creasing the material,
place the die and material to be cut on the Sliding Adapter Pad diagonally (as
size allows) and then cut.
11. It is important to use the Die Pick (included with the SuperStar Excel Machine)
to clean out the bits of paper and other material that build up in the joints of
the dies (where the cutting rule meets). If dies are not kept clean, the scraps
will eventually push the rule slightly apart.
12. If die does not completely cut through material, add a Mylar Shim directly
below die to increase cutting pressure on material. Two Mylar Shims are
provided with the Machine. Add one Shim first, and if die still does not cut
through material, use another Shim.
