OPERATION

A. Straight Cutting a Board to Size
1. Remove the Mat Guide and Slip Sheet before straight cutting.
NOTE: Do not remove mat guide knobs completely.
2. Use a ruler, T-Square or similar device to mark the dimensions of the board
to be straight cut.
3. Mark the lines on the back and place the mat color side down underneath
the Guide Rail lining up the marked line with the right edge of the Guide Rail
and down against the Squaring Bar.
4. Hook the Straight Cutting Head onto the Guide Rail past the end of the board
to be cut. Grasp the handle as shown in the picture and pull the Straight
Cutting Head towards you. Keep constant downward pressure on the
Straight Cutting Head and the Guide Rail as you make your cut. Fig. 1
CAUTION: Be careful to control the Straight Cutting Head as it breaks
through the end of the matboard as it will tend to "jump" towards you.
B. Cutting a Beveled Opening
EXAMPLE: Cutting a mat with a 2" border.
1. To re-install the Mat Guide, loosen the Black Knobs three turns and with the
raised edge towards the Guide Rail, line up the Mat Guide with the parallel
slots. Hold the Mat Guide at either end and evenly drop the Mat Guide into
the channels and then tighten the black knobs.
2. Set the Mat Guide to the desired border width. For this example, align the
back of the Mat Guide at the 2'" mark and tighten the Black Knobs Fig. 2
3. Make sure the Slip Sheet is in place before bevel cutting. You must use a
Slip Sheet. The straight cut slot underneath the Guide Rail is for straight cut-
ting only.
4. Place the mat color side down under the Guide Rail, against the Mat Guide
and down against the Squaring Bar.
5. Using a pencil, draw a line down the full length of the back of the matboard.
Repeat this for the remaining three sides. Fig. 3
