OPERATION
Making cuts
The laminate cutter is a manually operated tool. The shearing handle is spring loaded,
once a cut is made, slowly lift the handle. If handle is released after a cut, the handle may
spring upwards and hit the operator.
Warning! Knife is very sharp. Keep your hands away from the knife while operating.
Wearing gloves and safety glasses are recommended.
1. Unlock the safety lock (Fig.3) and lift the shearing handle to its upright position to lift the
knife upwards.
2. Set the miter gauge (A) Fig.4 angle.
Loosen the miter gauge lock knob (B)
and position the miter gauge in the
desired angle. Make sure the rounded
section (C) of the miter gauge rests
against the frame post as shown before
tightening lock knob.
3. Place material no wider than 13" and no
thicker than 19/32" onto the table. Place
the bottom side of the material flat on
the table. Slide the material up against
the miter gauge and then under the
knife. Line up the material cutting mark
with the cutting edge of the knife. See
Fig.5.
4. Hold the material in place using one
hand, and with the other hand lower the
handle. Push handle down to make cut.
Some
effort
may
be
required,
depending on the thickness or hardness
of the material.
5. Once the cut is made, slowly lift the
handle to its upright position.
6. Once you have finished using the
laminate cutter, lower handle and lock
the safety lock before carrying, storing or transporting.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A burr may form on the flat edge of the knife within the first 40-100
cuts. This is normal. Use a honing stone to remove the burr. Refer to the maintenance
section for further instructions.

MAINTENANCE
HONING, SHARPENING OR REPLACING KNIFE
Honing knife
Removing burrs from the flat edge of the knife is
very important, honing a new knife should be done
after the first 40-100 cuts, after every 100+ cuts
and when the knife has been re-sharpened.
With the knife (B) Fig.6 installed and positioned
roughly 1/8" above the table top, lay the flat side of
your honing stone (A) against the flat side of the
knife. Move the honing stone from one end to the
other a few times until burr has been removed.
Sharpening or replacing knife
The included knife can be sharpened.
Only the beveled edge of the knife must
be sharpened. The flat edge of the knife
must remain flat. We recommend that this
operation be done by a qualified
professional.
Warning! Knife is very sharp. Wear
gloves when handling knife.
1. To remove the knife (A) Fig.7, remove
the seven allen head screws (B) using
the supplied hex. key. Carefully remove
the knife.
2. Have the knife sharpened by a qualified professional. If the knife is damaged and needs
replacement, a replacement knife (King model KW-133) is available for purchase, for
more information, contact your nearest retailer of King Canada products.
3. Once knife has been sharpened or replaced, it
can be re-installed. Position the knife (A) Fig.8
with its flat edge facing the table (B). Make sure
the mounting surface and knife are clean,
re-install the knife with the seven allen head
screws removed earlier using the supplied hex.
key.
Lubrication
To prevent surface corrosion, it is recommended to
apply a small amount of light machine oil on the
sliding parts of the laminate cutter. Lubrication should be done once every two months or
once a month if working in dirty or dusty conditions.
