Using the Straight Line Trimmer

Do not press down on the Trimmer Handle while moving in an upwards direction, or you will break the Blade.

• Place at least one piece of matboard larger than the mat being trimmed behind the Straight Line Trimmer to avoid cutting into the Board.

• Place the matboard to be cut underneath the Straight Line Trimmer; use the handy ruler for placement.

• Flip the clamp switch upwards to lock the matboard down.

• Raise the handle and pull upwards to bring the cutting assembly to a position above the mat to be cut.
