7. Troubleshooting Solutions
1. When cutting multiple sheets of material, the cutting is incomplete.
It may be necessary to use fewer sheets of material with intricate shapes. Add
a Mylar Shim directly below die to increase cutting pressure on material. Two
Mylar Shims are provided with the Machine. Add one Shim to the "sandwich"
first, and if die still does not cut through material, use another Shim.
2. The Sliding Tray appears warped or does not slide smoothly.
Sliding Tray (part #656254 ) may need to be replaced. Contact Sizzix® Customer
Relations for ordering information.
3. When rolling the "sandwich" through the Machine, only the top Cutting or
Crease Pad moves.
Slide the "sandwich" toward the back of the Sliding Tray with the first inch of
the top Cutting or Crease Pad overhanging the "sandwich, " on the side closest
the rollers. Turn the handle, allowing the Cutting or Crease Pad to pass
through the rollers first, acting as a wedge so the rest of the "sandwich"
can pass through.
4. When using Crease-Rule Dies, the crease rule cuts through the material
rather than creasing the material.
Use of Premium Crease Pad is required with Crease-Rule Dies. For easier
cutting, place the die and material to be cut on the Sliding Tray diagonally
(as die size allows) and then turn the Crank Handle to move the die through
the rollers.
5. Rubber does not eject all parts of the cut material.
Use the Die Pick to remove excess material after each use.
