OPTIONS
The Measuring Stops are more than an aid to production of common size mats. They are quick to use and eliminate the
time consuming technique of drawing lines on the back of the mat. In addition, they assure minimum overcuts and can
prevent undercuts. The Stop Screws are adjusted in the following manner and need not be changed unless the blade
extension is changed for different thickness mats.
1. Insert the Locator Pin for the desired border width and place a mat under the Clamp in
the usual position for bevel cutting. CAUTION: Be sure the lower left edge of the mat
rests against the Mat Stop (N) in Figure 11. Make the four pencil lines as described
previously.
2. Set the Upper Measuring Stop Scale (A) (Figure 8) to the same border width as the
Locator Pin and lock it in place with Locking Knob B.
3. Slide the Upper Measuring Stop (D) toward the mat while holding the Spring
Button (C) down on the slip sheet. When the Spring Button touches the upper edge
of the mat, lock the Upper Measuring Stop in position with its Locking Knob (E).
4. Move the Cutting Head against the Stop Screw (F) on the Upper Measuring Stop.
Rotate the bevel cutting blade until it touches the mat. It should contact the mat about
1/8" (3mm) beyond the upper horizontal pencil line. If not, turn the Stop Screw in or out
until the blade is in the correct position. Lock the Stop Screw in place with its Jam Nut
(G).
5. Set the Lower Measuring Stop (H) at the same border width on its scale mounted on
the top of the Clamp. See Figure 9. Starting at the upper position, insert the blade

tion (undercut) requires moving the Stop Screw away from the Cutting Head. Re-adjustment of the stop screws is
not required unless cutting a mat of different thickness.
Two Mat Clamp Lifters, (one shown at the left), are provided as an
option. Each is mounted on the underside of a Hinge Bracket with
the spring loaded roller resting on the Base as shown at the right.
This allows both hands to be free to position the slip sheet and mat. A
slight downward pressure on the Handle lowers the Mat Clamp to the mat.

through the mat. The right hand scribed line on the Magazine
(L), in Figure 10, should line up with the pencil line and the
Sight Gage should also be in line with the pencil line. Now
pull the Cutting Head toward the Lower Measuring Stop in
the usual way. It should hit the Lower Measuring Stop when
the blade has passed the lower horizontal line about 1/8"
(3mm). The left scribed line (M) on the Magazine should now
be in line with the pencil line, see Figure 11. lf necessary,
adjust the Stop Screw (J) on the Lower Measuring Stop to
achieve the 1/8" (3mm) dimension. Lock the Stop Screw (J) in
place by tightening its Jam Nut (K).
6. Proceed to cut out a complete mat. Cut both opposite sides first, then move the Upper
Measuring Stop to the top edge of the mat and cut the other two sides. Examine the
corners of the bevel cuts on the front side. The "fall-out" must be completely free and
the overcut barely visible. If not, adjust the appropriate Stop Screws. Too much overcut
requires moving the Stop Screw toward the Cutting Head. Incomplete corner separa-
