6.9 Operating Tips


For best results, it is very important to have a sharp blade in the cutter. A dull blade will
cause poor quality cuts, may pull or draw the paper and cause uneven cutting, or may not cut
through an entire pile.

It is always best to bring the backgauge to the desired position by bringing it forward for the
final movement rather than backward. This will eliminate even the smallest amount of slack
in the leadscrew and backgauge components, resulting in the most accurate cut dimension
possible.

Carefully lay out each sheet before cutting. Find the best cut pattern that gives the most
pieces out of the sheet. If the sheet will be folded, be sure the grain of the paper is running in
the same direction as the fold to avoid getting a rough edge on the fold.
