Attaching The Material To The Mat - Brother 891-Z08 Operation Manual

Attaching the material to the mat

After preparing the mat and sheet (when cutting
fabric) appropriate for the material, attach the
material to the mat. For the mat and sheet
appropriate for the material, see "Mat and Material
Combinations" on page 22.
Note
• Do not discard the protective sheet peeled off
the mat; save it for later use.
• To maintain the adhesive strength, attach the
protective sheet to the adhesive side of the mat
after use.
• When the mat is not being used, clean the
adhesive side and affix the protective sheet
before storing it. For details, see "Cleaning the
Mat" on page 51.

If any problems occur when testing attaching, use
different material.
Note
• Use the low tack adhesive mat with copy paper
and smooth paper. Since the standard mat has
a high adhesive strength, materials may remain
stuck to the mat, causing the mat to become
unusable.
c
Attach the material to the mat's adhesive side.
Note
• Place the material within the attaching area
(grid area) on the adhesive side. If the material
extends from the attaching area, it may be
damaged by the feed rollers when the mat is
fed.
Memo
• The mat does not have a top and bottom. It can
be inserted into the feed slot from either end.
