  • Page 6: How To Cut Mats

    HOW TO CUT MATS SINGLE OPENING The most important requirement for cutting a good mat is a sharp blade. Mats are abrasive and will wear out a blade eventually. The value of a well cut mat is far greater than the cost of a blade. 1.

  • Page 7: V-Groove

    Mat Guide. DOUBLE MAT A double mat with a V-groove is a very attractive and popular mat, and is easily produced on the Fletcher 2200 Profes- sional Mat Cutting System. Prepare a color contrasting mat to become the liner. Size it 1/8” (3mm) smaller in both width and length than the mat you used in the previous example.

  • Page 8: Options

    OPTIONS MEASURING STOPS The Measuring Stops are more than an aid to production of common size mats. They are quick to use and eliminate the time consuming technique of drawing lines on the back of the mat. In addition, they assure minimum overcuts and can prevent undercuts.

  • Page 13: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE Maintenance of your FLETCHER 2200 PROFESSIONAL MAT CUTTER is mostly a matter of cleanliness. 1. Keep a dry, lint free cloth near the machine.

Cover the machine with a dust cover when not in use.
