Usage
• The cutting blade is secured into place during
non-operation. To release upper blade, gently
push to the right approximately ½" and lift up.
• Place the material to be cut on the surface of
the trimmer. With the use of the guides, size the
material to the desired length or set the back-
stop to the correct position.
• Press the blade down slowly. The clamp will
automatically hold the material in place.
• When cutting is complete, lift the blade to
release the clamp and remove the material.
• Secure the blade by slightly pushing to the
right ½" and dropping the blade down slightly.
Safety Precautions
• To avoid injuries, use the trimmer on a solid,
level, and secure surface.
• Always secure the blade to the base after use.
• Keep young children away from the trimmer.
• Do not touch the cutting blade with your fingers.
