Multi-Angle Mat; Angle Mat Guide - MyBinding Fletcher-Terry 48 2200 Manual De Instrucciones

The Angle Mat Guide provides an indispensable addition to the Fletcher 2200. You can produce angled cuts over a
range of 15 degrees to 75 degrees. In addition to simple 45 degree corner cuts, a wide variety of multi-sided openings
can be produced easily and with precision. No matter how complex the opening, you can create double mats with exact
and consistent liner exposures.
It is simple to attach the Angle Mat Guide to the Mat Guide on your Fletcher 2200. Refer to Figure 16. The Locking
Pin (a) can be placed in any of the three holes (b). Selecting the hole on the left will locate the Angle Mat Guide at the
lower end of the Mat Guide for smaller mats, up to 8" X 10" (200mm X 250mm). Using either of the next two holes to the
right will locate the tool toward the upper end of the Mat Guide for large mats.
To attach, set the Angle Mat Guide on the Mat Guide and slide it downward until it stops. It will locate on the right side of
the Mat Guide with two projections on the underside, and on the left with the Locking Pin. While continuing to pull it
toward you, turn the Locking Pin (a) counterclockwise to firmly lock the Angle Mat Guide in place. To remove it, turn the
Locking Pin clockwise.
1. Figure 16 illustrates a simple 45 degree corner cut opening in an 8" x 10" (200mm x 250mm) mat. Mark pencil lines
on the back of the mat in the conventional way starting with the Mat Guide set at 1-1/2" (38mm) as shown by lines
labelled B.
2. Set both Angle Arms of the Angle Mat Guide at 45 degrees. Place a 90 degree drafting triangle between them while
tightening the Angle Locking Knob (c). Use a corner of your mat instead of a triangle if it is accurately squared.
