Approved Materials
Your unit comes with two different scissor blades. Match the appropriate blades with the
material being cut per below:
•
BCSCOFF: Replacement O Blades (best for cutting fabric, and paper).
•
BCSCDFF: Replacement D Blade (best for cutting cardboard and metal).
Metal Cutting (Fig. F)
WARNING: Sheet metal edges can be razor sharp and extreme caution must be
used when working with this material. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES while working with
sheet metal.
•
Only thin gauge metals (26 gauge or thinner) are to be cut.
•
Avoid forcing cutting blades as this reduces blade life and causes costly blade damage.
•
Use your free hand to roll material to be discarded out of the way as cutting progresses
as shown in Fig. F.
Project Tips
•
Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster, and put less strain on the motor
while cutting.
•
When cutting materials with adhesive backing (vinyl floor tile, etc.) periodically clean
blades; adhesive residue will build up on blades reducing the quality of cut and strain
the motor.
•
When cutting carpet or other fibrous materials periodically clean fibers out from in
between the blades; built up fibers will reduce the shearing action thereby reducing the
quality of cut and strain the motor.
•
When cutting stiffer materials such as sheet metal, vinyl, etc, use free hand to either
work material up over the unit or roll material to be discarded out of the way as cutting
progresses. (See Fig. F)
•
When cutting curves, do not tilt the tool; keep the blades perpendicular to the
work piece.
