Embossing Starter Kit
About the Embossing Starter Kit
By using the embossing tools with the cutting machine, you can create embossing by pressing a pattern into the material* for either a
recessed effect or, by flipping over the material, a raised effect.
Use this kit to create custom embossed projects.
*
Use paper and metal sheet only for the material.
Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION
• Do not cut the metal sheets with the cutting machine, otherwise the blade may break or the machine may be damaged.
• Do not trace or rub your hand or fingers along the edges of the metal sheet, otherwise injuries may result.
Precautions
Do not insert any object other than the embossing tools into the embossing tool holder.
Do not cut while using the embossing mat.
Do not fold or bend the template sheet or scanning support sheet.
If the adhesive strength of the embossing mat is reduced, lightly wipe it with a wet wipe (preferrably alcohol free), for example, to
remove any dust or dirt. After wiping the mat, be sure to allow it to dry. If the mat becomes wet, its surface will become brittle.
If material can no longer be attached to the embossing mat, replace the mat with a new one.
If the template sheet and scanning support sheet become dirty or damaged, replace them, otherwise scanning may be affected.
Without peeling the embossing mat off the cutting mat, affix the protective sheet for the cutting mat before storing the mats.
Do not throw away the backing after peeling it off the scanning support sheet; reattach it before storing the sheet.
Do not store in a location exposed to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity.
Use in an environment between 10 °C and 35 °C (50 °F and 95 °F).
For detailed instructions on using the cutting machine, refer to the Operation Manual supplied with it.
